Re: Wayment, the JST and AOF8
I just saw this genius post from several months ago from kishkumen. I especially love the following. Bravo! Plagiarism is what a person with no ideas does. Art is skillful theft sanctified by genius. Individual parts of Joseph Smith’s career may look like plagiarism, but step back and examine the wh...

Re: LDS Church gets $54 million in Stimulus
From what I saw when I looked at the link, these payments are being made to universities with the requirement that the school would use at least half of the money to provide emergency financial aid grants--as the document says--to students, and therefore implicitly with the option that the school co...

Re: M. Gerald Bradford has died?
Oh, that makes me sad!
I liked him! We talked over lunch once several years ago, and he was very enthusiastic about my work on the lost 116 pages.

Re: A friend asked why am I here on MormonDiscussions.com
As will hopefully be obvious now, I am LLHWEAPS/MsNobody's unnamed friend. We are old friends. We've known each other since ZLMB, along with other old timers like Shades, Jersey Girl, and others. We talked there on the board, and also on the chat room, and also via email and phone. We've been friend...

Re: A friend asked why am I here on MormonDiscussions.com
Awww, agape to you as well, "MsNobody," my friend. I don't frequent the board so much these days, so I'm lucky I caught your thread! I guess ironically I owe it to the fact that people have extended the thread so longI taking you to task for it that I got to see it! Thank you so much for your concer...

Re: First Vision Conference 2020
Or one could just keep interpreting everything according to the same biased lens. After all, it worked so well with this one! Don The OP phrased his last sentence as a question, meaning he was unsure. The questions regarding Vogel and Quinn are valid given the topic and one should note that the pos...

Re: Bricolage and inspiration
Physics Guy, I don't understand what "a cheap form of sincerity" would mean. This seems like a value judgment on something other than the sincerity itself. Help me understand? Also, by the way, I'm not saying the thoughts I've offered here comprise the totality of Joseph Smith's revelatory...

Re: The Lost 116 Pages, by Don Bradley
Dr Moore, Fascinating! I like the organization of data here, but unless I'm missing something - which I may be! - you are doing heavy specific analysis based on airy, non-specific assumed numbers. When you say, "I calculate a more likely time to accomplish a day's translation work at 5.9 hours&...
