Its easy to infer the profound existential threat you feel the Book of Abraham to be from just about every post you've made in this forum for the last two or three years. Your visceral hatred for that book and for anyone who reveres, appreciates, or defends it crossed the line of simple personal hostility into obsession long ago.

Odd. There does, indeed, seem to be some kind of "system" here, and a pipeline of communication through that system regarding all things Will Schryver.

Someone seems to know more than they're telling, but given the general ethical environment here, I won't be waiting up late for anyone to "come clean."

Sad.


I just explained it idiot. There is nothing odd about this, especially the fact that two guys with learning disabilities can't seem to understand something so basic.

1. Will made the false assumption that Bokovoy was behind some conspiracy against him.
2. Will freaked out and started emailing various scholars to dig for more information.
3. Will's fears were unjustified, and those he contacted turned around and contacted Bokovoy to let him know what Will was up to.
4. Bokovoy shared this information with me, and I laughed my ass off.

Now, get it yet?

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory[citation needed], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Well if that is the definition then I am guilty. So what? I'm not Christian.

I would only add that I did not accuse you of being Will for that purpose. I genuinely believed you were him, but only continued with the accusation because your pedantic response made me laugh.

Well, this is what intellectual hacks do when they're cornered...lob insults, create diversions, and hope for the best. Apparently, there is just a bit more to it than your carefully sanitized version:

Like Bro. Bokovoy, I received an email from a source who will remain anonymous, that essentially said that a group of MDers (including MsJack, harmony, beastie, Kevin Graham, Doctor Scratch, MrStakhanovite, and Spurven Ten Sing, among others), conspired together. They threatened the MI by saying that, if the MI published Will's work, they would go public in a major way with their allegations—contacting newspapers, other ex-Mormon sites, various blogs, etc.

Coming from the king of morons, this is hardly surprising. You infer all sorts of dumb crap all the time. You're the same guy who thinks there is some "odd" conspiracy going on based on wade's idiotic analysis of Bokovoy's comments when a basic understanding of logic requires no conspiracy at all.

You seem to be conflating two different "affairs": the emails Bokovoy received notifying him that Will was querying people about his loyalty, etc., and the "affair" wherein Will accused David of ratting him out to the NAMI people.

Only the "King" of morons? Why not "emperor?" How about your favorite, sub-commandante?

If you will take the needle out of your arm for a moment and pay attention, you will see that Wade said nothing about David Bokovoy, but about a "source" that had contacted both he and at least David with information relating to a plan to blackball the MI if they published Will's work.

Given the list of names that appear, the concept is at the very least plausible, and given the inherent nature of anti-Mormonism over generations of time, the concept is banal.
