you wonder if it's good enough to publish without embarrassing Kofford Books.
What is wrong about publishing something by an egotistical prominent idiot, in order to illustrate their idiocy? Like clips of Donald Trump ridiculing Obama's birth certificate.

If a book company is trying to build a reputation for publishing solid, well-researched publications, they may not want to publish something by a prominent idiot, egotistical or not, regardless of the motivation.

To be fair, I have not read Schryver's manuscript and know little of it. If it makes a significant contribution to the discussion I would consider it for publication.
You're absolutely vile and obnoxious paternalistic air of intellectual superiority towards anyone who takes issue with your clear misapprehension of core LDS doctrine must give one pause. - Droopy

No one said you wouldn't. I've been pleasantly surprised before, and maybe Schryver will surprise me this time. From what we've seen of Schryver's theory so far, I'm not holding out much hope for his book, if there ever is one.

In my judgment, the "tone" of Mormon apologetics has always been quite agreeable. It has always come across to me as: confident, masculine, meticulous, honest, authoritative, and assured.

Quite fitting, as there's more than a little homoeroticism in those quotes, as well as obvious misogyny.

The parallels between Macho Man's anger at the president of the WWF and the anger of the Danites at Gerald Butler are truly uncanny.

Are the Danites angry at Gerald Butler?






Who is Gerald Butler? Is he related to Gerard Bradford by any chance?
