Leonard Arrington Testimony

Every once in a while, I put together a testimony for an exceptionally prominent deceased LDS scholar and post it on "Mormon Scholars Testify." This one seems particularly relevant to the claim, advanced by some critics, that Mormon history has been systematically falsified, and that the truth can only be had from critics:

Okay, wow. This is just hideous. What a desecration of Arrington's legacy. How in the hell did you get authorization to do this, Dan? For heaven's sake, take it down. Don't smear the man via association with your rancid projects. To claim that what you've done is cheap and opportunistic is a gross understatement. Take this down immediately. My God. How horrifying.

What a ludicrous response.

It's not ludicrous at all, Dan. Get it off of there. How can you feel good about pillaging the man's work for your own dumb crusades? Seriously: who gave you permission to do this? This is sick.

A friend correctly notes that Kenneth Godfrey's recent entry is also relevant here:
