You made a claim that Joseph doesn't know anything about Joseph Smith except demagoguery, and that you guarantee that you have written more research papers about Joseph Smith than him. If he has written zero, then you have written at least one. There is no reason for calling your bluff to be contingent on Joseph saying whatever he has to say.


You didn't call my bluff. I wasn't bluffing. I've written several. I'd be happy to send one to you, but they are all on paper. I would scan them, but I run a Linux machine, and we all know how much the Church hates Linux.

I just wanted to know if he had written any, that's all. I didn't ask him to actually produce any.


Well, we are asking you to produce yours. How about just summarizing all these papers you've written:

--Title

--Date

--When and for what audience it was written

--Abstract of what you wrote

Wow, you did not have to go to such lengths. I simply need your regular mailing address, because they are all on paper. I would scan them, but I run a Linux machine, and we all know, because of the intelligent insight of Joseph Inc how much the Church hates Linux.

I don't give a crap what Joseph thinks, and I already posted a picture giving him the middle finger for ragging on Utah.

What about specifying what the inaccuracies were about what Joseph said, like I already asked? Can you do that?

And if Joseph is full of crap until and unless he produces, why is the same not true of you?

Simon:

What part of the opening post is inaccurate?

Okay, Darth J and Jersey Girl:

I am sure you both can understand my caution in revealing, for example, my real name or institutional affiliation. Likewise, I do not want to type out an entire abstract, since I do not have the digital files where I am at the moment.

Producing the papers was not what I required of Joseph Inc., and it should not be required of me. I simply wanted to know if he or she knew anything about Joseph Smith, because he or she obviously has a lot of anger and hatred for JSmith. Anger that I believe, that is entirely misplaced.

Again, I don't give a crap what Joseph thinks.

Don't reveal your real name or affiliation. I have no problem with editing out classified information.

How about just a short summary, instead of a formal abstract?

it is very over simplified and paints an anti-Mormon caricature of Joseph Smith.

Wrong. You guaranteed that you had done more than Joseph. Remember? So if Joseph admits he has written zero, you must have written at least one. How are you going to back up your guarantee?

I am very glad to hear that. His posts come from a place of ignorance and hatred.

When I return home (I am out of state right now) I will be happy to supply you with what you request.

But, to temporarily satisfy you now, I have written about:

The 1826 trial
The Character of Joseph Smith
A book review of "No Man Knows My History"
A book review of "Rough Stone Rolling"

And a few others that I cannot remember at the moment.

None of these are published.
