The Nehor left the building because he lost his testimony that the little black guy in Facsimile No. 3 is not a slave. Poor The Nehor, he had to face reality and left with his tail tucked! Yellow dog!
Not even Daniel C. Peterson could help him in this regard. I'd like to say that seeing testimonies lost brings me joy! Baby, I was born this way cuzz lady Gaga said so. Hellz yea!

Wow. Did you seriously write that? That was downright mean. Do you know The Nehor as a person? Have you ever met him? Jeez.
I’d rather have Nehor waste his brain cells huffing glue than rolling that pallid face across the keyboard to share his version of “the gospel” here.
But hey, don’t let me stop you from talking about Nehor like he was some estranged co-worker who hung himself last night in the garage, because God knows, deleting a message board account calls for a wake and a round of anecdotes about the deceased.
Space is right, he’ll be back.
I think you need to calm down and get some perspective here. Hating people is not good for you.

I, for one, will miss his wit, and his perspective.
You mean, when he made fun of Nightlion for his Apocalrock visions and the like? The biggest problem with the Nehor was his radical intolerance toward folks like Nightlion when he himself claimed to have astral projected to realms where he was educated on use of the Seer Stone, met Joseph Smith as a resurrected being and so on.
Possibly the guilt of treating Nightlion badly was the last straw for him?

I cannot help but wonder if we are being a trifle bit harsh on The Nehor. Bear in mind that this is a young man with remarkable scholarly expertise on Middle Earth:
The Nehor wrote:I probably know more about Middle Earth History then I do about lands that really exist.
Even Dr. Peterson acknowledges The Nehor's scholarly brilliance:
DCP wrote:I read The Hobbit and the complete "Lord of the Rings" . . . and "The Chronicles of Narnia" and the "Perelandra Trilogy" individually to each of my children when they were little.
I've had lunch at The Eagle and Child pub in Oxford (a.k.a., to the Inklings, "The Bird and the Boy"). I've spent hours in the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College (where the Lewis and Tolkien papers, among other related collections, reside) during a trip for another purpose to Chicago. And so on and so forth.
I'm a serious, serious fan, in other words, and have been since high school -- although it plainly seems that The Nehor is the real expert on this topic.
It seems to me that a Middle Earth scholar would be a magnificent addition to the cadre of scholars that currently line the annals of the Maxwell Institute. Surely it would be little more than a hop, skip, and a jump to full-fledged mastery of Book of Mormon geography and history. Here's to hoping that we soon see a FARMS publication from The Nehor! I can foresee him eclipsing the work of Sorenson and Clark in short order.

Hope he took his demons with him. Good bye, half-wit.

So Nehor likes Lord of the Rings.
I don't think it's fair to mock the guy.

ETA: You're right. It was wrong of me to suggest that he join up with FARMS. It's hard to think of a more aggressive means of insulting someone. I apologize.
