Jersey Girl quoting some crazy man wrote:"Mamackrah suggests all sorts of things to the ear, especially with syllables such as Mah, mack, and rah. These are full of meaning in any language."
What a bizarre statement. The syllables 'Mah', 'mack' and 'rah' are utterly meaningless in English. They're not even words (except perhaps for 'mack'). Many languages wouldn't even have these sounds.
LOL at the quote. I think the Backyard Professor deserves a a spot in your signature...
He does indeed.

I'm afraid that I don't understand the meaning of your sig line. Are you saying that you've personally debunked the research of all of those posters including Kerry Shirts?

Hey Gaz,
You're under no obligation to reply here. If you'd like to, go right ahead. Otherwise, I'll probably keep rowing this little boat on my own.

It means I've personally debunked one or more statements they've made in their 'research'. You'll see I credit Mr Coffee with a couple. Unfortunately the sig limit prevents me from crediting everyone here.

Have you specifically debunked Kerry's research on this board? If so, could you point me to the thread? I'd like to see what you had to say in response to it.

We're back to where we started. This is the post in which I demonstrate one of his key statements is nonsense. If those aren't the words of Kerry Shirt, I'll amend my sig.

Alright, if you count that as debunking who am I to disagree with that? Carry on.

You have to understand the context in which my sig started. It was a discussion with bcspace and Coggins over what constituted 'lazy research' (a term they invented to refer to any statements made by critics of Mormonism, in any context), and who was debunking whom. It's not meant to be taken deadly seriously, and doesn't mean 'I personally have annihilated every academic article this individual has produced'.
You'll note that bcspace has a sig in which he claims that every critic of Mormonism is guilty of lazy research, and further claims that I was unable to find a single counter-example. That was a lie, since I gave him several examples, and reminded him of them as soon as he wrote that sig.
But anyway, if debunking means something other than 'demonstrating it is false' to you, that's no skin off my nose.

Perhaps the sig should be "lazy research uncovered"?

Well to me, 'debunked' means 'proved untrue'. I used it because it was the buzz word in the arguments with bcspace and Cogs.
