“Peter Pan” is Unmasked as Mike Parker

[Marcus]

ooh, at its very very worst.

My apologies, Marcus. I replied to the wrong post.

Really.

Huh. Another godlike presence we aren't allowed to notice?

Conspiracy theorizing at its worst.

ok then. Of course you responded to the wrong post.

Your credibility is really taking a hit in this thread.

Have you considered for one hot second we don’t, in fact, “have questions” about your moderator actions? Goddamn, the ego on you. You were quick on the trigger. Neither Gabriel nor myself linked any in real life information to a specific poster here. But, hey. That’s your call. I don’t really have questions about your process or itchy trigger finger with regard to that particular moderator action.

The only thing I can surmise from the whole thing is that the poster you’re protecting has posted such heinous crap on this board that it’d have in real life consequences for him if it got back to his real life. I agree. It would. I won’t state anything more, because I don’t want a third UR7 violation.

And there’s the problem. You obviously don’t understand why I took the action I took. And you have no interest in listening to why I took the action I did. You simply decided that you know better than I do why I took the action and concocted a false narrative.

I’m more than happy to explain, but I can’t publicly without violating UR 7.

What false narrative did I construct?

I literally posted what I posted on this thread. There’s no need to back up an easily readable record. Go on now. You can do it!

So, just blowing smoke.

I feel like you need this.

If you think Joseph Smith needed a travel book to understand the location of The Book of Mormon, then you have evidence that it's false.

I have already stated I think it is a work of fiction, so I do not think Smith used Stephen's books to understand the Book of Mormon. I do believe he used them as evidence to convince others that the Book of Mormon was historical.

The Stephen's article in the T&S is under suspect of who wrote it, only signed "Ed." But Joseph Smith resigned as editor before then.

There were five editorial articles in T&S about Stephens & Catherwood's work published during the time Smith was editor. Additionally, before that, under the editorship of his brother Don Carlos Smith and Robert B. Thompson, in June of 1841, the Nauvoo Mormons were made aware of the importance of Stephens and Catherwood's discoveries in an article in the T&S entitled “American Antiquities – More Proofs of the Book of Mormon”
It is without question Smith was aware of the books and used them as evidence to convince others that the Book of Mormon was historical.

That I was quick on the trigger. That I improperly applied UR 7. That my motive is to protect someone someone who has posted heinous crap.

by the way, what you said here:

Is the exact reason why we have UR 7. The rule exists to prevent people from being harmed in real life by what they say here. Everyone here gets their anonymity protected — not just you and people you approve of.

So, I didn’t “create a false narrative”, but I surmised your actions correctly. What’s your deal with needing to quibble? You were wrong ref the Peterson timeline and who said what, and now you’re wrong with this issue, too. Stop being a baby, and just own it. Jesus.

So, no 'false narrative' for you, and no 'conspiracy theorizing at its worst' for me. What an outcome.

O/T Who of my in real life contemporaries could I tell, and they'd think I'm sane, that Peter Pan is unmasked as Mike Parker. Not a single one. Why are you here with those butterfly nets? Why are you wearing white? Is that a straight jacket?
I've become too emmeshed in Mormonism.

my sympathies, that might mean I am having the same feelings about these threads.(they are related somehow I think, lunatic antisemitism, heartland fanatics) Perhaps a bit of a walk outside will help. Anyway Msnobody glad you can confess to the feeling.

Having thoughts of going over to Red Mountain at Vulcan Park and interviewing some random black dude pretending to be Brother Nygren.

For what it’s worth:

—I don’t think that DCP is guilty of “perpetuating” the idea that “Neville-Neville Land” was run by a Black apologist. I think the likely source of that idea was Parker. If not him, then Boylan is really the only other possible person.

—That said, DCP *is* guilty of continuing to support “Neville-Neville Land,” even after the Nygren information came to light. Plus, “NNL”‘s fundamental purpose is to smear other Latter-day Saints and mock their beliefs. That by itself is a good and valid reason to hold DCP’s feet to the fire.

—DCP will never, ever condemn a fellow apologist for anything: not for racism, not for sexism, not for anti-semitism or anything else, ever. One of his fellow apologists could turn out to be a rapist or a murderer and the most you’d get out of DCP would be, “I didn’t know.”
