Interpreter apologists wrestle with Nephi’s transoceanic vessel

[Kishkumen]

Look, I don't doubt you are smart and have degrees and know about literature and other school stuff. It's your understanding of Joseph Smith and Book of Mormon construction that lacks. THAT is my specialty. And I've spent a great many years studying it. So, take your degrees and shove 'em.

That's my opinion.

LOL!!!

Come on, Shulem. Don't be an idiot. Because, well, you are. You're just being an idiot. You can't really hope to understand the Book of Mormon by focusing on the Book of Mormon alone. Same with Joseph Smith. So, no, those things aren't your specialty because you don't understand how to contextualize them properly, and it takes contextualizing them properly to understand them. I'll grant that you know a lot about these things, and I fully credit you with your great knowledge, but, damn, have the good sense to recognize that people with actual training have something to bring to the table. Take their advice with some grace instead of thrashing around like an angry teenager.

I think the truth of the matter is that you don't even know enough about what I am saying to understand why it might be helpful, so you stoop to childish behavior to cover your ignorance.

Screw spelling. Screw school. Screw college! Spelling is the least of my worries.

Ur just jealous and acting out. Go take a breather.

Jealous of what? Your ignorance? Seriously, jealous of what?

I'm sure you believe that. But I don't care. I don't!

And, I will continue in the manner in which I continue. I suppose you will do the same.

Who cares? Think what you want. I'm not going to waste time playing mind games with you about how f-ing smart I am and how much I know.

I do what I do. You do what you do.

[Kishkumen]

I'm sure you believe that. But I don't care. I don't!

And, I will continue in the manner in which I continue. I suppose you will do the same.

Oh, I am sure you will continue, and I wish you the best. I will continue to point out that a lot of your assumptions and methods are complete bunk.

I do what I do. You do what you do.

OK. If you can't back up your claims, it is no skin off my nose.

This is a free speech board and you are entirely welcome to do that. I have no problem with that. Of course, I may chose to object and state my reasons. Or not.

Look, I wasn't born yesterday. I don't fall for that. I don't care about EGO!!

I'm beyond all that, dude.

Great, lovely. That still doesn't count as backing up your claims.

Then you may freely consider all my claims NOT backed up. I don't care. You're not the only reader on this board and there are a variety of readers who see things in different ways and in a different light. You're a tough NUT to crack, Kish. For me, you're too much of a game and a sideshow. I don't have the energy or inclination to try and reach you. Like I said earlier (spelling) you loose/lose me in so many ways. I don't understand you very well and will leave it at that. You're worried about my freaking spelling? You know what, Kish? You're a snob. You really are.
