So Kevin can post there?
LOL.
Haven't you been paying attention? I'm not a "major player" according to Wilbur the Coward. He has come to this forum for three years now saying that I'm upset that I've been "rendered irrelevant to the debate," etc etc as if this somehow hurts my feelings. He was only projecting, confusing me with someone who was only interested in the KEP to make a name for himself .(like WIlbur) Now what in the hell have I done in the past five years that would ever make anyone think that? I've published nothing nor have I ever tried to. I essentially dropped the subject after the 2006 FAIR conference because we were told Hauglid and Metcalfe were about to publish their work. It was clear to me that little else needed to be said until someone actually pubslihed something. I've been lured back into the internet "discussion" only because Will has chosen to posture himself as an expert who has single-handedly "refuted forty years" of arguments, and he regularly dragged my name up. If it weren't for Will, I doubt I would have even bothered to get back into this subject since 2006. By contrast, Will, as an out of work Mr. Mom, has all the time in the world to formulate his apologetic riff raff, coy up to unsuspecting BYU scholars, deceive people in email requests, etc.
The fact is there is no debate nor has there been. Where is the debate? Will won't debate here and the suffocating environment at MADB makes any real debate virtually impossible. Every time BRent refutes something WIll says, he runs away and promises to come back with evidence in some other venue. So by what metric does Will insist he's a major player and yet I'm not? Not that I care, but it is hilarious that I am responsible for educating Will on the subject of the KEP, and a few years later he thinks that just because he's been given color photos under the table by some of the BYU asses he's been kissing so hard, and that he's willing to make a fool of himself at a FAIR conference, that this somehow makes him a "major player." Again, when I first raised the issue of the KEP as it relates to the Book of Abraham, WIll thought I was talking about the Joseph Smith Papyri, insisting we didn't have all that was at Joseph Smith's disposal. When I told him he obviously didn't know what the KEP were, he shot back arrogantly telling me and the world that he had "examined" the KEP as thoroughly as anyone ever had, again thinking the KEP = Joseph Smith Papyri. Had he known the KEP were hidden from the public, he never would have made such an asinine comment. But it goes and one of the MANY examples where William Schryver is willing to flat out lie to his audience if it thinks it will win him accolades.
Will Schryver is to the Book of Abraham, what Wells Jakeman was to the Book of Mormon, except Jakeman was actually a scholar, technically. Jakeman was able to get the attention of BYU scholars, market his nonsense in video format and get Mormons all over the world excited about his "conclusive finding" that the word "Nephi" appears on the "tree of life" stone. Virtually everyone in my mission knew about his presentation and you could buy the audio on cassette at any Church bookstore.
But when the dust is settled, and the audience expands far beyond the reach of testimony-bearing minions, FARMS was compelled to disown his scholarship as speculative nonsense or else lose credibility as well.
