Re: Boylan the Beggar
You really captured the essence of Boylan's "work." In fairness to Boylan, that's actually the essence of most Mormon apologetics in terms of trying to retrieve traces of Mormonism from antiquity and/or the Christian tradition (minus the use of Logos). It's almost all vague "bullseyes" and comparis...

Re: Boylan the Beggar
Boylan's blog seems to consist almost entirely of long quotations from other people's writings. The quotations appear to be duly attributed, but in my quick sample of posts I didn't find any original commentary by Boylan at all. Is his idea of scholarship nothing but typing out texts? He doesn't se...

Re: Boylan the Beggar
He either doesn’t know how or is to lazy to introduce his post’s point in the first sentence. Every post just starts in as if in the middle of a paragraph. Half the time the reader is left to guess what is his writing and what he is quoting. It’s a mystery how he managed to graduate past grade 9. W...

Re: Boylan the Beggar
I know that a begging page on any of the donation sites may not reasonably be expected to conform to academic writing standards, but really: mixing of first- and third-person pronouns for himself, then the same third-person pronoun for others is a bit jarring "... blog posts for my blog ..." vs. "....

Boylan the Beggar
I'll start this off by saying that I don't mind people getting paid for apologetics and I don't mind people asking for help when they need it. My issue is with hypocrisy. Robert Boylan a.k.a. Richard Nygren has a history of insulting people for their income (or at least what he thinks is their incom...
