Earlier, per the material re-posted by Beastie, you were very clearly suggesting that Maxwell Institute "scholars" knew about and had no problem with your rancid and misogynist comments.

I have suggested no such thing, nor does the "material" posted by beastlie support your assertions otherwise, and I adamantly deny ever having made "rancid and misogynist comments."


Deny all you want, Will. The posts speak for themselves.


1) Are people at the Maxwell Institute (apart from DCP) aware of this thread?

Not to my knowledge.


Why did you say that you expected to have a chuckle with the folks at the MI over all of this, then?

(Cue the denial that you ever said such a thing.)

2) If they *are* aware of the thread and its contents, what do they think?

If they *are* aware of this thread, I imagine most of them view the GSTP much as I do.


Which means, in effect, that you are saying that they, too, find amusement in locker-room humor, misogyny, talk of "circle jerks" and what have you. Thanks for clearing that up, Will.

3) If they are *not* aware of the thread, what would happen to your prospects for publication if they were to be notified of this thread?

I have reason to believe those prospects would be substantially enhanced.


What?? You're going to have to explain this one, my friend. Why do you think that notifying Hoskisson, Welch, Ricks, et al. of your sexist comments would "enhance" your prospects of publication? Is there really that much "boys' club" back-slapping going on at the M.I.?

... but if that's what you're saying, I rather think that it's high time that they be notified. Don't you?

I strongly encourage you to do what you think is best. I am convinced that, ultimately, I can only benefit from a wider dissemination of the truth.


Oh, you can rest assured that I'll do what I think best, Will.

Well, then, show a little alacrity, if you will. Paul and I need a diverting topic of discussion for our lunch date next week.
I thought myself the wiser to have viewed the evidence left of such a great demise. I followed every step. But the only thing I ever learned before the journey's end was there was nothing there to learn, only something to forget.

He doesn't know about the thread, then?

Could you ask what that thorn in his side was? I would really like to know.

Oh, you were just name dropping again. What a let down!

Maybe he wants you to think that Paul H. is "Silver Hammer."

Wow. The plot thickens, or doesn't. Whatever.

I'd just like to let the record show that Will has (yet again) completely dodged the substance of my above post. And yet, what is he saying now? Can we officially raise the tally to 3 confirmed Maxwell Institute Mopologists who are aware of Will's blatant misogyny, and who've yet to condemn it in any way, shape, or form?

To find out about Paul Y. Hoskisson, the Director of the Laura F. Willes Center for Book of Mormon Studies and Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, with whom Will may or may not be having lunch, see his CV.

You can "officially raise the tally" to any arbitrary number you'd like.

I think 144,000 is a good, round figure.

Why is it, Will, that you're so unwilling to give a straight answer? You know---being honest in your dealings, and all of that? I mean, if your behavior on this thread is no sweat, then why not just say whether or not the apologists are aware of it? Why not name that "circle of academics"? You scared?
