Is Schyver Nibley's Biological Son?

I don't hold you responsible for believing the theory.

Cute, Will.

I said very clearly that I do not believe the theory.

I don't care what you hold me responsible for or not. It doesn't matter to me.

It does matter to you. You wouldn't be trying to convince him that it doesn't if it didn't. You're hooked, Kishy. William-boy has you where he wants you. Anyone can see that!

I specifically stated that I don't hold you responsible, Cletus.

I, for one, think it's an untapped area of research that should be encouraged, which is why I signed up.

Until I see a long form birth certificate I'm going to assume Bill Schryver isn't a citizen of these United States.

1) I do not believe the theory; 2) I am not promulgating or lending support the theory; 3) and your personal position on my view of it is only an issue if you decide to take unwarranted action against me, which I am assuming, hopefully, you will not.

So, regardless of your attribution of belief or non-belief on my part, I trust your statement that you don't hold me responsible carries with it the goodwill of not involving me in this accusation to any ecclesiastical authorities or my employers, or involving me in any legal action.

I guess I don't understand the wider context of why you feel I am some sort of ill-wisher or that I pose a threat. I assure you, I harbor no ill will toward anyone, especially those whom I have never met.

I thought this was Internet forum, where "yes, you can say that here". I saw this utterly silly topic while "surfing" around the Internet, and decided to sign up.

That's all. Relax.

Tabitha quoted certain statements made by William Schryver. You have not addressed the issue of whether those statements contributed to the formulation of the theory. In fact, you have studiously avoided William Schryver's role in the whole thing. This makes me suspicious that you are either defending Schryver, or at least chary of assigning him any culpability for his behavior.

This suggests to me that you either are a friend of Schryver or one of the apologist associates of Schryver.

In any case, I don't believe your story and it seems you have an agenda. Furthermore, since LDS apologists have been known to contact the employers and church leaders of people they deem to be critics, not to mention write negative things about them online and in print, I have every reason to be wary of you. My money is on you not being an innocent bystander, but rather someone we know who is quite capable of choosing his words very carefully.

I think Tabitha and static are two socks worn by one troll.

I know very little about William Schryver. In fact, the only time that I've ever heard the name was while reading an article in the Deseret News in 2010. I would have signed up here and posted on this absurd thread whether the topic dealt with William Schryver being Hugh Nibley's biological son, or Ed Decker being Hugh Nibley's biological son. I have no interest in who, specifically, the thread is dealing with (other than Nibley, I guess).

I don't know William Schryver.

I have no way to prove my "story" to you. Frankly, I am quite surprised that a newcomer here is automatically treated with such antipathy and suspicion.

I will say it again, for the sake of good form. To the best of my knowledge, I am in no way connected with William Schryver, Hugh Nibley, or any other semi-famous Latter-day Saint or apologist. I harbor no ill will toward anyone here; I know no one here. Even if I did dislike someone here, I would never attempt to disrupt his or her life in any way.

But view me with hyper-suspicion if it makes you feel better, Kishkumen.

Okay?

It would probably be easier to spot a Schryver sock if Will had published something...anything...recently....
