Boy, was I wrong

[_wenglund]

Aside from the epic irony of Kevin Graham calling others "immoral morons," is anyone else puzzled by the fact that I have mentioned multiple times on this thread that there may have been threats involved, yet not a single denial, nor even a spark of interest, but a whole lot of careful dancing around the issue (and this in addition to the deflection/projection marathon)?

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Care to expand on the classification?

You see what you want to see and don't see what you don't wanna.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

So, when you refer to "someone like [me]" you mean a person? You, of course, and other faithful LDS, would never be guilty of seeing only what you want to see - right? </snarky>

[You respond like this so often I might suspect that you have a word document open at all time, full of your favorite pat retorts for you to C&P. A little more effort on your part wouldn't go unappreciated, Wade. ;)

This is a great idea that I had considered a while back, but have yet to put into action for want of time and energy. It would be an efficient way of responding to the kinds of thoughtless and meaningless posts that define your participation here.

At least I have more than half a dozen responses. A very simple program could be written to take your place in these discussions, and no one would be the wiser.

I've also noticed that you're just as likely to give a pat, cookie cutter response to a well thought out post as to a snarky one-liner.

In fact, all you contribute these days are snarky one-liners, albeit buried in MAD-style passive aggressiveness and Droopy-style thesaurus abuse. If that is interesting to you, by all means, continue. But you don't really add anything to most discussions anymore.

Well maybe this post would have been an opportunity for you to explain why you think that the people at the Maxwell Institute would have had to be threatened to make them pull back from Schryver - though I suspect that reading his posts on this board would have been enough:

I have reason to believe, though, that the dismissal had to do with certain threats made to the Institute related to what Will may or may not have written years ago.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Well, we know what Will did write, because MsJack kindly collected the smellier specimens in her OP for anyone to read. And they were quite enough to make any decent man hold his nose. So we don't have to speculate about what he may not have written, do we?

How you can imagine that once the people at the Maxwell Institute, having read through Schryver's malodorous posts, would need to be 'threatened' to make them want to sever connection with him is hard to imagine. Do you think they could have read that stuff he wrote and still want to have him around? You really think that DCP and the rest are a bunch of coarse machos who would just laugh along with Schryver and see no harm in his nastiness?

So:

(a) What reason do you have to think that someone 'threatened' the people at the Maxwell Institute to make them pull back from Schryver?

(b) What kind of threat do you think could have been effective against the Maxwell Institute in this instance?

OK - I have been greatly puzzled - I guess I must have missed the evidence of threats. And I hereby deny that I made any threats against MI. I do find it interesting, however, trying to imagine what kind of threats could possibly have been made.

And, for the record, I don't dance (except for Scottish Country dancing, of course).

Considering your favorite comeback is to accuse people of "projecting" (another way of saying "I know you are, but what am I?"), that means a lot.

But thanks for at least changing it up, Wade. It's appreciated. ;)

(b) What kind of threat do you think could have been effective against the Maxwell Institute in this instance?

Those are great questions. However, before answering for myself, I prefer to give another chance to the parties who may have been involved to either openly deny or admit to making the threats or knowing about the threats.

For the record, what say all of you: MsJack, Kevin, Kish, Stak, Buffalo, Chap, liz, harmony, beastie, Scratch, Spurven, Sock Puppet, mortal man, Consig., etc.?

So far, Malkie is on record as denies making threats or knowing about the threats.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-
