Good grief.

I've agreed with harmony twice within the past five minutes -- once here and once on another thread.

I need to go lie down.

See? I told you you were mellowing. Here's proof positive.

It's no use telling Gad that though Harm....... once thatbit is in his mouth, it is imitation Scratch come hell or high water...... I substantially agree with you however, but it's singing to the choir to try and show him this.

Geez, JM... if I only said something when I thought people would actually listen to me, I'd be mum.

Of course, how could we get inside the mind of Tvedtnes? Certainly, no matter how harsh his language there could always be another interpretation if all we have are his behaviors absent any reports from him of his own feelings.

So what can I say other than, read it and weap:

Actually, I have been good friends with John for over a decade, and I actually asked him and here is the response. I don't read it and weep. I read it and enjoyed. Here's John's mind from one who actually knows him.

I merely felt that it was my duty to point out that his “little known evidences” were not evidences at all. I didn’t take it personally, but I am concerned that the booklet keeps getting reprinted, as if no review had been done. I don’t know who is spreading rumors about my intention, but please set them straight. In my review, I praised Yorgason for his personal testimony. My review is posted at http://farms.BYU.edu/publications/revie ... um=1&id=49

So, would it be fair to say that it is the duty of critics to point out that his "over 300 articles" claim has been seriously compromised by his "resume padding"?

I have never seen anything you write to be fair or realistic or objective, scientific, or acceptable. Everything you write has some poison to it that mars its credibility. And what's really sad is, I truly do think you can straighten that out, but you refuse to, enjoying groveling like a dog or something instead of becoming credible with a realistic understanding. Your shrill campaign against LDS scholars destroys anything of value that might accidentally slip from your keyboard.

Tell me, JustMe:

Does Tvedtnes's "resume padding" mar *his* credibility? Does his endless boasting?

I think someone suggested elsewhere that you are a sockpuppet for Kerry Shirts. Is that right? If so, are you flipping out at me because your feelings got hurt over my criticism of your YouTube films?

The assumptions you hold in the very way you pose the questions show you haven't a clue, and realistically never will.

are you flipping out at me


That you even interpret what I write as flipping out at you is even laughable. You really don't have a clue do you?

Aren't you going to answer my questions?

1) Are you a sockpuppet for Kerry?
2) Are you angry about my critiques of the YouTube FAIR conference vids?
