To be honest, I think this whole debacle was beneath Bill Reel even getting involved in.
He is absolutely killing it every week it on Mormonism Live, and he really doesn’t need to waste time on the apologetic drama.
It’s a win for the apologists if they can drag him into this nonsense. Even if they look bad. They don’t have a reputation to uphold, it’s already beyond trashed.
NOT to the continuing faithful who are feeling trapped and hurting WITHIN the church and continually being brain fed by apologetics in order to keep them in. Bill knows this is pure gold that will help tens of thousands make that final decision to STOP BEING DECEIVED by the church and ITS MINIONS. You are being too short sighted. This is not about Bill. It is about helping many more tens of thousands SEE THE REALITY of the STUPIDITY of the what the church has produced people wise, and they think they are better off within it.
And the very best way is to strike it right where it counts, their egos and personal self-judgmental righteousness. Who on this green earth would EVER want to associate with the Interpreter folk after seeing them as they really are?!? This kind of ridiculously embarrassing action and words and thinking within Mormon apologetics is the further light and knowledge Father promised us to help us be freed of the slavery shackles, and those who try and persuade many to stay in their shackles in a false freedom.
It was never about me. I looked at my wife about a month ago on a drive and told her some day someone will sue the entity or me and we will lose a lot, maybe even all of it. But it will have been a fun ride and we will have helped a ton of people. She smiled and said yep. I'm glad to finally be making enough to do this full time, but it was never about the money or the recognition though my ego certainly benefits from the latter. I'm willing to do what I do knowing a day may come when they make an effort to take it all.

Thank you for the evidence that Mike had no problem denying other claims of who he was when that was a white person. Only when it was a Black man does Parker see no ability to deny the claim he is that person. Weird.... But that will be helpful.

Do we know when Boylan's synopsis changed? when he removed Nygren Reference from video synopsis?

eta - Good Lord. Robert Boylan is more vicious than I thought. From his exchange with Hazleton (linked above):
Yes. And recall Boylan's earlier comment about low IQ?
Update: can someone pass this onto Bowman--Rob: Maria broke into your computer again. No way you would write something as low IQ as Doubling Down on Diversionary Polemics: Robert Boylan’s Response on Moroni’s Move, you know, being the top-notch biblical scholar you truly are.
Maria is Bowman's 26 year old daughter.
You really don't have to look far in Boylan's blog to find nastiness and/or poor thinking.
I wonder if he has changed since hearing Pres Nelson's admonition at GC - the "nastiness" part, that is.

Parker uses the words "unhinged" and "despicable" on his "Richard Nygren affair" post. He really needs to look in the mirror. Those adjectives aptly capture the absurd immaturity that he and Boylan, and all of those in-the-know, have been at with NNL.
I will not be surprised when the whole NNL blog is taken offline.
Edit: forgot to quote Mike Parker speaking about Mike Parker.

no it will likely not be Mormonism live. It will be multiple youtube channels with very different audiences and will include the Mormon Discussion Inc. Channel

And then after posting that, he later added another statement he titled afterword.
