Unexpectedly, I have just a few minutes to contribute, once again, to this important (and gripping) Scartcholeptic dialogue:

Mini-Scartch, though obsessively persistent (in the manner common to chronic Scartcholeptics), is persistently wrong.

I was never paid $20,000.00 per year, nor anything even close to that figure, for my services as chairman of the FARMS board.

Too bad FARMS informed the IRS, under oath, that this isn't the case. Still sucks to be you.

According to Jason Bourne, Mini-Scartch's evidence doesn't really support Scartchodoxy on this matter.

And I flatly say -- publicly and under my own name (as opposed to the anonymous defamation that is one of the prime characteristics of acute congenital Scartcholepsy) -- that Mini-Scartch (along with His Malevolence, the Scartchmeister) is completely wrong on this accusation.

Ah. The Scartcholeptic's most heartfelt hope and prayer, the core of Scarthodox devotional life, the deepest yearning of Bizarro Scartchworld.

Mini-Scartch has really bared his soul here, by expressing his inmost personal feelings.

This is a profound moment, and should be treated with reverence.

*******

I won't be back for several days to continue this never-dull back-and-forth (an ornament to the intellectual life of MDB), so I want to post one last vital dispatch:

Have a good time.

I wonder where Scratch went?
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

Take it up with FARMS. I didn't file the Form 990.

I was just feeling sorry for you.

FARMS claims otherwise, big guy.

I'll be away from the board for the next few days, though, so I think I'd better post the following important message:

Let see DCP says I was not paid....

Rollo says the 990 says otherwise,

But the 990 is correct even if DCP was not paid.

Rollo is obtuse about this fact. It is really getting tiresome. Don't you get this yet Rollo?

Unless DCP confirms that he was paid $20,400 less than his regular salary during 1998, then he was paid for his time as board chair of FARMS. This is really very simple, Jason. If FARMS paid BYU for DCP's time as board chair (which took away from his time as a BYU employee), then BYU would have paid that money to DCP as part of his regular salary (or BYU kept the money as a windfall, which is why we need DCP to confirm if he was paid his full BYU salary that year or not). Don't you get this yet, Jason?

Yes I get is Rollo. I posted that above if you recall. So just say that your argument is FARMS most likely paid BYU for DCPs time in that in your view assuming his salary stayed the same it is like him getting paid for being the FARMS chair.

That is different then saying HE was paid because it sounds like you say FARMS cut him a check.

It doesn't matter who cut him the check. What matters is that he was paid $20,400 for his time and service as board chair of FARMS in 1998, regardless of whether FARMS paid him directly by cutting a check or passing the money to DCP through BYU. In the end, DCP was paid $20,400 for the time and service he spent as board chair of FARMS.
