All I have done is taken the information and quotes from the other thread and summed it up into a neat package because others seem to be in on something, without being direct, and I'm curious if it's true. If this is all a joke, based upon the fact that I'm directly quoting him, it is one that Schryver himself has made.

Though I'm no defender of Nibley, if this was all one big joke by Schryver in the context of a thread discussing a mysterious BYU meeting with a DNA expert, it was clearly in poor taste.

Perhaps I am being lazy here by not finding out on my own efforts, but what is the other usename that was registered within a minute of Tabitha registering. Am curious even though Kevin has informed is it isn't the work of trolls. (which I am not calling into question)

That would make you my son. I have no idea how that could have happened.

Hugh Nibley had a child out of wedlock, and that baby happens to be William Schryver?!

This is all just too much for me to believe. It sounds like a bad episode of "Days of Our Lives".

However, if true, this explains a great deal.

It is rather hard to believe. Then again, as people have pointed out, it would explain a great deal. Plus, as I recall---didn't Will appear on the scene just shortly after Nibley's death in 2005? Is the timing purely a coincidence, I wonder?

I shouldn't be surprised that he would want others to think that is true. Whether it is true is something entirely different.

Yes, I can't imagine the orgasm his ego must have endured after finding out that the church's intellectual icon is his father.

I don't believe it. It doesn't matter, but I call BS.
