Nope. I'd say nice try, but I'd be dishonest by saying so.

You are not able to demonstrate/show ANY intellectual dishonesty on my part using my words in the post you cobbled together to supposedly prove that I was being intellectually dishonest and disingenuous.

You are avoiding what needs to be done.

Get it over with.

Great. Your opinion is a statement that my opinion is wrong, also known as "Nuh-uh."

Chap is apparently not willing to come to Lemmie's defense.

by the way, Chap, I'm talking about Lemmie and the now seemingly apparent fact that she has been caught flat footed, red handed, in a LIE against my personal integrity. I see that as something which needs to be resolved/corrected.

She has failed miserably to do so.

I have been charged repeatedly with intellectual dishonesty. Lemmie's most recent attempt to do so is being shown to be a fabricated LIE.

Nope.

Chap just finds talking about mental gymnast, his rights and his wrongs, a deeply uninteresting experience.

I've documented my opinion, see viewtopic.php?p=1049507#p1049507 But you continue to troll. So....

MG let me try to help you out here. I suspect that "no one is coming to Lemmie's defense" because none feel she needs the help. Lemmie is arguably one of the strongest rhetorical debaters on this board, so most probably find she can hold her own. Many posters have pointed to the fact that Lemmie pointed out the conflict she perceives within the body of the charge. You may not agree with her take, but that does not mean she has not backed her argument. If you feel you have defended yourself well enough, why not leave it at that? You often say you post to let the lurker's decide for themselves, so why not go with that? When you just keep demanding Lemmie rehash her post you just kind of look like you have no response to it.

P.S. If you are needing further context in understanding why many on this board find Blake's theory to be logically inconsistent with the established narrative the LDS church puts forward for translation, I would recommend returning to about page 12-15 where IHAQ and I (I believe honor chimed in too) highlight some of those conflicts. Some things to note is that eye witness accounts to the translation process give no indication that Joseph was adding his own thoughts and often state things that would be methods for preventing him from inserting them.

You have not. You have not been able to go back to your 'false narrative' posting and show/demonstrate either where or how I have been intellectually dishonest and disingenuous.

Your opinion doesn't count for anything at this point.

Proof, OTOH, would go a long way.

Your friends have left the scene and are not willing to support you...although Xenophon seems to think you might be able to defend yourself.

Now you are resorting to calling me a troll.

I am not. You lie again.

I am simply standing up for my personal honor against your most recent attack against my personal integrity.

And yet, here you are.

I can see why you aren't willing to stand up and defend what Lemmie has done.

There is nothing there to defend
