Speaking for myself, I have no particular beef with FAIR. Some good people work with them. Here I am thinking of David Keller, Wiki Wonka, and Kevin Barney most particularly.

Other than that, he's one of the most proper researchers in the GSTP.
For a second I thought this was Schryver's scholarly autobiography, until I reached the part about twisted grammar and so forth. Heaven knows Will is fastidious in his posting. If he put as much effort into his scholarship as he does crafting posts, his book would be out already, ripe for the slamming!

"Good people" meaning, in Kishkumen's book, those who he believes speak well of him.
LOL!

So to say I know how to do proper research is "funny" to whom? To you? If so, then I'll take that as a compliment any day of the week.
Your problem with me has always been the fact that I actually do know how to research a subject and make compelling arguments. How many times do I have to show that Will misuses his sources before you actually get it? There is a reason why Will refuses to debate me. It is because he can't.
You are, without a doubt, the scholar's scholar, the expert's expert, the go-to-guy for all things LDS. Unquestionably, your renown research on Mormonism is cited in more footnotes and bibliographies than any human alive--apologists and critics alike. Your opinions are so well respected and credibilized as to be widely considered as fact. And, don't you ever let anyone tell you otherwise. LOL
Thanks, -Wade Englund-

LOL! I have no idea, nor do I care, what these good men speak concerning me. Your standards for what constitutes a good person are not mine. But thanks for making a comment that is very revealing of your character and values.

It's like I said, when it comes to out-of-control self-delusion, the Cracker man's the world champ, hands down. He's obviously got some very serious, albeit carefully concealed, issues in his life. Hard to say what they might be. If I had beastlie's consummate diagnostician skills, I'd probably conjecture that the Cracker man has some deeply rooted insecurities, coupled with a heaping tablespoon of old-fashioned unfulfilled narcissistic desires for grandeur.
Other than that, though, ya gotta admit he wields a mean meat cleaver.
