New Book Honoring Midgley
Dan Petersen announces -
"I’m pleased to announce that I’m now in possession of a number of copies of a Festschrift in honor of Professor Louis C. Midgley, a volume that we expect to become more generally available sometime during the month of March (when we will also make a COVID-compliant formal presentation). It was compiled by friends and former colleagues and students of Professor Midgley as a token of the great affection and esteem in which we hold him. You can get some sense of its contents here:"

Yeah, that could be a wild ride.
I'll admit to being petty enough to get a chuckle out of the title of Peterson's contribution -- 'It's Hard to Doubt His Sincerity' -- which can be read as a placeholder for 'At Least He Tried: the Art of Damning with Faint Praise.'

The Ballad of Lou the Mean, William Hamblin
Of course it’s Bill Hamblin delighting in Lou’s life work of being crappy. And, lol, they published this having misspelled Lou’s surname. You’re welcome Mr. Peterson, for doing the job an editor should’ve done.Midley [sic] Family Photographs

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

That's on par with The Church of Jezus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But at least they capitalized "The" in both cases the Church was named in the description of contents. But I wonder how many times in the actual book that isn't the case?

Re: New Book Honoring Midgley
has the thought never crossed lou-lou's mind that gemli may have no interest in a self-published fake book about the midge? And of course, Lou has managed, yet again, to disparage others by stating things of which he has NO WAY of knowing the truth. It's helpful to see Midge's rantings though, just more evidence of the very, very inappropriate behavior so many of us still have to deal with.Louis Midgley gemli 14 minutes ago
It has been 20 hours and gemli has apparently has not noticed Remembrance and Return. One can be certain that gemli, and confident that Noel Hauslaer, and DK4L, who come to sic et non only to sneer at the faith of Latter-day Saints, will never be invited to contribute to any volume of scholarship. In addition, it is likely that none of them know much of anything about the topics addressed in this collection of essays.
Peterson's recent Interpreter article goes to some length trying to justify how 'not being offensive' doesn't mean mopologists can't be offensive. Lou-lou is the epitome of this stance.

Re: New Book Honoring Midgley
Wow, that's giving himself a double pat on his own back. First, drawing attention to his own greatness for a book getting written about himself, and second, he assumes the book, that's about himself, defines scholarly standards and that anybody who disagrees with him wouldn't be able to perform at the level to get published in that book.
what a loser.
what a loser.

Re: New Book Honoring Midgley
This looks like a fun read. Some lighthearted fare, to be sure, but other things that I would be genuinely interested in reading for more serious reasons.
