What?! Pahoran calls his second wife a "whore"? I can't believe that. Next you're going to be telling me that Will Schryver is a misogynist or that Ray A is insane.
Oh, wait.......
That's right, Kevin--I remember that. And Everybody Wang Chung, you're just a bit "off." What happened was that Pahoran was doing his usual shtick with some guy called, If I recall correctly, "Thunderchops." I don't remember the specifics, but I'm pretty sure that Pahoran did indeed call this guy's wife a "whore" or something to that effect. Thunderchops cited this as one of the main things that motivated him to exit the LDS Church.
Actually Scratch, you don't remember that.
Largely because it never happened.
What you remember is this post from back in August 2008:
Kevin Graham, posting as Dartagnan wrote:There was a guy who posted briefly on my old forum named Thunderchops. Some of you might remember him, or maybe his avatar. It was a photo of him and his huge sideburns. Anyway, he told the forum that Pahoran once called his wife a whore in the ZLMB chatroom. He said that if given the chance, he would beat the snopt out of him if he ever met him.
So Kevin merely reports gossip; Scratch accepts it uncritically (of course) and repeats it as fact.
Naturally.
But it's not a fact. "Thunderchops" claims that this happened in the ZLMB chatroom. Why the chatroom? Well, it turns out that chatroom conversations aren't saved; you can say anything you like about what transpired in a chatroom, and nobody can prove otherwise.
Which is why "Thunderchops," whoever he is or was, told Kevin that: so that nobody could check up on his accusation.
The fact is that not only did I not say anything to "Thunderchops" about his wife in the ZLMB chatroom, I have no recollection of ever using it at all.
Whoever originated this story is lying.
Regards,
Pahoran
