But you can be certain that one or more of the Mopologists has been lying.
They prefer to call it "Lying for the Lord" and like to think of it as a saving ordinance.

Dr. Scratch sure has the Mopologists in a tizzy over this. DCP devotes an entire blog post to this topic, while Stephen Smoot and Peter Pan both show up in the comment section (at the same time) and make several panicked denials. Hilarious!

Folks, you can't make this stuff up.

As usual, Dr. Scratch is playing chess while the Mopologists are playing marbles.

Lol.

Stephen Smoot: "the collective sleuthing powers of the Doctor and his minions leave much to be desired."

They always have. But uncontrolled imagination and unrelenting malice compensate to at least some degree.
what projection.
Keep in mind that this is the same person who, on the sayso of the anonymous and thoroughly unreliable neo-nazi poster "smoky", named an innocent film professor in Brooklyn as being Lemmie. Incorrectly of course, but you have to wonder how bewildered she must have been at the sudden onslaught of Mopologist hatemail from members OF HER OWN RELIGION.

Peter pan, smoot, and peterson are indeed in a, shall we say, collective panic.

Heartlanders such as the monomaniacal Jonathan Neville have latched onto Letter VII as some kind of silver bullet that disproves the Mesoamerican model of the Book of Mormon. With an inquisitorial and self-righteous fanaticism, Neville has denounced, variously, Book of Mormon Central, Fa.... etc etc [more vicious attacks]
Well then... it is a simple thing to put this firmly to bed to rest for time and all eternity - refute the letter of Oliver Cowdery which he wrote with the Prophet to make it into his history. Letter 7 is the perfect proof that the Mesoamerican theory is so wrong it's not even wrong.

The best part about all of this is that the heartland theory is not our problem.

It's Mormons fighting Mormons, and we're sitting on the sidelines eating popcorn...

DCP just gave himself away...

Stephen Smoot: "P.S., my understanding from listening to Robert Boylan's interview with Spencer Kraus is that "Peter Pan" is some fellow down in Alabama named Richard Nygren. But whoever this Mr. Nygren may be I cannot say. I have never met him, nor have I ever corresponded with him online."

I've never so much as heard of him. I briefly looked for him online, but found nothing.
I'd like to think that he exists, though.

My bet is that he's one of my multiple personalities, just as you are.

But in the blog entry posted before that comment...
They think that it’s Steve Smoot — who is something of an obsession with my very obsessive anonymous Malevolent Stalker — or that it’s Dan Peterson, or that it’s Steve Smoot at the direction of Dan Peterson. Actually, it’s none of those. (I myself learned only a few months ago who it is, because s/he told me; until then I was almost as much in the dark on the subject as my Stalker is.)

So? Peterson was contacted a few months ago by the actual blogger, but 2 hours ago says he has "never so much as heard of him"?

Sure, DCP. Sure.

That's actually kind of alarming if Dan's short term working memory is so bad that he can't even keep the two stories straight.

I know, it's a crack up man. I basically said so in my live on Sunday. There are so many different geography models, that until you Mormons get your crap together the rest of us have no reason at all to take anything you say seriously.

What a legacy to leave behind Doctor Peterson.
