I am presently preparing a blog post that details those events, as well as others from a year previous, when an attempt was made to prevent me from speaking at the 2010 FAIR conference. That led directly to the later suppression of the scroll-length article.
Incidentally, the scroll-length paper consisted primarily of calculations based on the first substantial set of forensic measurements ever made of any ancient Egyptian scroll, insofar as Professor Gee has been able to determine. The measurements of the thickness of the papyri were conducted employing a novel methodology, by a PhD expert in a relevant field, as Professor Gee assisted and I recorded the measurements. It also would have contained some of the first really high quality images of the papyri to be published. The paper had been reviewed and approved for publication by the Church Historian.*
Jerry Bradford, to my knowledge, knew all these things. And yet, because he had apparently been influenced by some to believe that the article was apologetic nonsense, he demanded that its publication be halted, and used a ridiculous smear piece prepared and/or promulgated by the same group of apostates (and their sympathizers) who have most recently been the recipients of the emails leaked from the Maxwell Institute.
It's a long and winding tale, and I hope to publish it to my blog within the next two or three days.
* = This should not be misinterpreted as suggesting that the Church Historian's office endorsed the contents of the article. But its approval was required, by contract, on account of my extensive use of high-resolution scan images from the Joseph Smith papryi.
