I've said from the outset that I will "out" my source if someone is willing to supply definitive evidence that the "intel" is wrong. Instead of doing this, though, it seems that certain Mopologetic parties would prefer to sneak around and contact people via PM. Does that really seem like the behavior of someone with nothing to hide?

Would you consider "definitive evidence"? Somehow I doubt if every member of the imaginary secret meeting denied that it ever took place, that still wouldn't do it. Because that's exactly what you'd expect from someone with something to hide, right?

What would this evidence be? Video footage of the meeting not taking place? Signed affadavits from everyone supposedly involved including the 'mystery man'? Danites shooting you repeatedly and demanding you recant?

If messaging outside public posting is sneaking then your informant is a sneak. And no, I don't consider it sneaking.

Well, if Ugo Perego were to appear on the board and categorically deny every last thing my source said, I suppose I would consider that "definitive." I would expect him to answer a few questions, though.

No you wouldn't. Your questions would be designed to cast doubt on him no matter what the answers were and then you would gravely pronounce the implications to be interesting and then theorize with no evidence further regarding conspiracies and hidden agendas.

At this point your mom calls down to your basement room and tells you that if you don't take out the trash like you promised she is going to stop paying for your WoW account until you go out and get a job. Lamenting her lack of understanding of how important your crusade against apologetics is you waddle your 450 pound body to the garbage and again the thought dawns on you that you really should seek something new beyond your feeble existence. Then you remember that your guild is raiding and waddle back to your computer while waxing philosophical on internet message boards using your feeble brand of rhetoric.

Then we give up in trying to prove it to you, you declare victory, and it turns out to be the highlight of your wasted life.

Close?

And all that has to do with this thread. . . what, exactly?

They're just fooling around. It's all in good fun.

That said, I think that dblagent007 has still proposed a very intriguing question: i.e., has Perego & et al.'s testing uncovered anything about Joseph Smith's progeny? We now know for certain that DCP has been reading this thread. It seems clear that he's willfully ignoring dblagent007's important and provocative question.

Of course once Scratch is beaten he now proceeds to derail his own thread to draw attention from his lies.

See Scratch Run. Run Scratch Run.

Perhaps Bcspace was taking bits of information an weaving a highly speculative analysis of them. Some might say one bit of make believe is as worthy as another.
