William Schryver - The Vulgar Scatologist of LDS Apologetics

[_AlmaBound]

Personally, I hate research that take more than 10 minutes of Googling. It is non-recreational.

I've decided that I will take the time to point out those lines of dialogue that I think are funny and render honor to those who meet my ever-changing and undefined criteria of amusing and/or of interest.

This line met that criteria. Congrats, little penguin. May they someday write songs about you.

Your jealousy is showing, William.

I've never been jealous of sycophants.

Especially those who are so desperate to associate with "celebrity" that they believe people like Dan Vogel and Will Bagley constitute such.

All celebrity is relative, of course, but when you consider the fact that Vogel and Bagley are only known for writing bad Mormon history, and that the market for bad Mormon history represents a mere fraction of the already small market for Mormon history in general, then I think you get closer to appreciating how "celebrated" these two would-be "historians" really are.

...bad Mormon history...Mormon history in general...

What do you know, two in a row.

It is hard for a gentile such as myself to distinguish between them.

Well said, good sir.

Oh, try again, William. You are jealous of anyone who draws the spotlight off yourself.

Especially those who are so desperate to associate with "celebrity" that they believe people like Dan Vogel and Will Bagley constitute such.

They are published; you aren't. People buy their books; no one buys anything of yours, especially your lame arguments. They are strangers here; you aren't. I welcome most people when they first land on our corner of the 'net. You, alas, don't.

I'm an equal opportunity welcomer, William. Heaven knows, every time Daniel returns, I welcome him too. You, I ignore, but that's only to be expected.

I'm not sure Will has been sincere about a single thing he's written about himself... well, ever. Not on this board, anyway.

Mmmmmmm ... how intriguing.

Just what do you imagine the truth to be?

I don’t know what the truth is, but I have a pretty good idea what it isn’t. It’s not difficult to recognize an unrealistic caricature when I see one.

I suspect the truth is that you’re a frightened, insecure little boy hiding in a misogynistic, deluded adult’s body, but I’ll resist declaring that as fact, despite the abundance of evidence favoring that conclusion. Benefit of the doubt, and all that.

Will apparently knows that my first name is "Chris[topher]" (Gr. "bearer of Christ") and that my middle name is "Kelly" (a masculine spelling derived from the name of an Irish friend of my parents).

What I find interesting here is that William Schryver has apparently attempted to insult me via the feminization of the spellings of my first and middle names. Rather than "Chris" or "Christopher," William Schryver here inserts a feminine form, derivative of my first name: "Chrissie." And, for my middle name, he inserts, again, a typically feminine spelling, "Kellie," rather than, in deference to the heritage of my Irish middle name, the masculine "Kelly."

Oh my, it must just strike William Schryver as oh-so-clever to refer to me in an artificially feminized manner.

To be sure, I don't care one way or the other, in this instance. I just find it quite telling that Schryver finds, and must find, if his intended insult is to carry any weight at all, his intentional feminization of my first and middle names to be derogatorily humorous.

This is, to be sure, a glowing example of a quite contrived, and amateur, lay LDS apologetic. But, there it is: Plain Stupid.

My sincerest apologies!

All along, I thought you were a girl.

Thanks for setting the record straight.

This is the third time a defender of the faith has engaged in this behavior within recent history on this board. It's beginning to look like a pattern.

Absolutely Priceless. William Schryver here attempts to excuse his manifest sexism by feigning ignorance of my gender: "All along, I thought you were a girl." Which, would make his obvious feminization tactics a moot point, as he apparently thinks.

And this is the "rising" star to whose posts DCP has affixed his manifest approval, on more than one occasion.

Folks, this just is LDS apologetics in its very most amateurish, lay-level, instantiation.

Behold, I give you: William Schryver.

I would venture a guess that William Schryver's mind has not entertained a genuinely, sincere, thought for, lo, these many years.

Behold the fruit of your apologetic loins, DCP.
