La Trahison Des Clercs in the Fulness of Times

[_EAllusion]

It is kind of amazing the amount of chutzpah it takes to build a narrative around critics of Will trying to silence him despite them loudly proclaiming the exact opposite while simultaneously being part of an Orwellian board culture that uses censorship extensively to control narratives.

It is kind of amazing the amount of chutzpah it takes to build a narrative around critics of Will trying to silence him despite them loudly proclaiming the exact opposite while simultaneously being part of an Orwellian board culture that uses censorship extensively to control narratives.

You know, what makes that amount of chutzpah even more amazing is that part of this ongoing narrative is:

1. Mormon Discussions is an obscure message board that nobody cares about:

These demands originated from people who participate (most of them anonymously) at the Mormon Discussions message board—an online forum dominated by critics and enemies of Mormonism.

Don't forget, Loran, that there are fewer than two or three dozen regular posters on this site. Not only are they mostly anonymous and this board extraordinarily obscure (even by cyberspace standards)......

Yes, bluster of the sort where untrained amateurs cast unwarranted aspersions on the reputation of a man who has done nothing to merit it, and whose conclusions so far appear to be uncontradicted, except on obscure LDS-related message boards at the hands of mostly-anonymous message board posters. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8910&p=235774&hilit=+obscure+message+board+#p235774

But it just strikes me as somewhat ironic that a bunch of untrained amateurs posting on an obscure message board can proclaim to have so easily contradicted the published findings of a respected Egyptologist ("As this thread shows ...") via their potent powers of rhetorical fiat. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8921&p=235313&hilit=+obscure+message+board+#p235313

2. It is self-evident from MsJack's epic Schryver thread that the latter did not say anything misogynistic or otherwise offensive.

And yet a thread that clearly exonerates Schryver on an extraordinarily obscure message board has managed to convince the powers-that-be in the Church and/or BYU that Schryver's game-changing Book of Abraham apologetics should not be published.
