The Real Reason FAIR BOARDS is CLOSING

For someone who is supposed to be as well educated and literate as you proclaim, you may want to review the question I posed above. “Where can HEAR about many of the things that FARMS can even find a forum for?”

I guess it's my literacy that's preventing me from understanding your question.

“Where can HEAR about many of the things that FARMS can even find a forum for?”

What on earth does that even mean? I can't decipher it.

I recognize that Clark and Sorenson have written many articles for FARMS on Book of Mormon archaeology. But, as you have already admitted to, such articles have been ignored by the secular academic community. So, other than this board, where can we “HEAR” about this information??!! Simple question.

Because the secular community, by and large, is unaware of their expressly Book of Mormon articles, you think that you can only HEAR about relevant facts HERE?

Weird.

You could, like, um, subscribe to the journals that they publish in, you know? You can, like, you know, look at the FARMS web page?

If that’s what gets you out of answering some fairly obvious direct questions, then take the “tenure” way out (although I did not know “associate professors” had that to their disposal at most universities!).

Are you writing in English? "Take the tenure way out"? As in "take the tenure to an extended distance"? Or as in "take the tenure method of exit"? "Exit" from what? Are you from Planet Zarkon, too? How can "tenure" be stretched out? How can "tenure" help me to "exit" from your manifestly obsessive interest in my daily schedule? What in the world are you talking about?

Incidentally, I'm a full professor, and have been for several years now. But it's really striking to see how fascinated you are by me. You've really been doing your research. Do you go through my garbage cans? Good thing I've got a shredder. Is that you parked across the street? Just don't try to interview the little kids in our neighborhood, though. The parents are likely to report you.

You're creeping me out, Ref. Remember: I've got a dog and several guns.

As I have said many times before, this seems to be the only place where we even hear about many of the things that FARMS et.al. can even find a forum for!!!!! IE: Book of Mormon Archaeology

You could try reading Professor Sorenson's books and articles. You could try reading Professor Clark's articles in BYU Studies and in the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies.

Ref I'm not going to let you come into two threads guns a blazing just to push your agenda. We have had enough of your kind here on this board. You can say goodbye now. Wait no you can't!

As I've said before, you appear to believe that Bill Hamblin and I and the other editors of the FARMS Review conspired together either to invent Michael Watson's second letter whole cloth or, at least, to substantially misrepresent its contents.

As I have also said before, Professor Hamblin quoted every single word of the letter in his article, apart from its greeting, its date, and its signature. Every single one. So there can be no question of our having taken anything out of context or having omitted something that would fundamentally change its meaning.

Unfortunately, Professor Hamblin mislaid the original of the letter some years ago, and there's nothing I can do about that. But I saw it, and he saw it, and at least three other editors saw it. Our source checkers saw it, too.

If you want to accuse us of misrepresenting a message sent on official letterhead of the Office of the First Presidency, or of forging it outright, I hope you will do so. It would be, for a member of the Church and an employee of the Church's university, a very, very serious offense. I encourage you to put my career and my Church membership on the line. Contact Michael Watson and demand that I and my co-conspirators face justice!

Otherwise, stop insinuating that we're lying or falsifying. I grew tired of the suggestion a long, long time ago.


Sorry Dr. Peterson looks like we had to come in to rescue you again from the big bad rapid anti's that have such better arguements then you have. Ref is banned and anyone else that wants to go with him, keep badgering the posters here and we will do another round up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.... This seems extremely significant. DCP and Bill "Don't Call Me Jacob" Hambling are making arguments on the basis of a letter that Habmlin misplaced??? Holy smokes. Unbelievable. Of course it's only fitting that DCP would be making assertions on the basis of evidence that no longer exists. Yet another instance, apparently, of de rigueur FARMS scholarship. Utterly stunning.

Well done, SB.

If DCP thinks Ref is a stalker, wait 'till he gets a load of the uber-stalker "Mr. Itchy."

Here are the new BOARD GUIDELINE for THE NEW AND DELETED FAIR BOARD


Board Guidelines
Guidelines for all Mormon Apologetics and Discussion Board:

The Mormon Apologetics and Discussion Board are a discussion forum for apologetics (defense of the faith) related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) or Mormonism in general and related topics of interest to the LDS and Mormon communities.

Open and frank discussions will occur but participants are expected to exercise common courtesy and 'netiquette' when posting. There is a fellowship forum for discussing topics without debating them.

While we encourage a free exchange of ideas, this is a free idea zone, not a free speech zone. All comments and discussions should be substantive and informative and posters should exercise good judgment in what they post. Posters should act at least as well as they would in a live, public conversation or debate.

Forbidden topics and posts include but are not limited too:
- Politics
- Harassing or threatening statements.
- Personal insults, ad hominem, flaming or badgering other posters.
- SPAM, advertisements, Pornographic or illegal content.
- Posting personal messages, content that is copyrighted or materials from other sites without permission from the author(s) or owner(s)
- Posts or links that encourage or start board wars (cross posting, etc.)
- Advertising your site or board and other forms of proselyting both pro or con.
- Content that may be sacred to others and not intended for public consumption (sacred rites, Temple ceremonies, discussion of the Temple clothing, etc.)

Moderator and Administration actions are considered final word on a subject. Arguing with the moderators and/or any attempts to circumvent moderator actions are forbidden (creating multiple identities to avoid suspensions, cross-posting, etc.)

Behavior that is deemed in violation of these rules and guidelines can result in being suspended or permanently banned from the forums without notice. Behavior that is deemed illegal (stalking, predatory behavior towards minors, posting illegal images or content) may be reported to legal authorities.

Rules governing poster conduct also apply to personal messages and e-mail hosted or facilitated by the Mormon Apologetics and Discussion Board. Message logs and posting logs may be accessed for cases of reported abuse or harassment.

By posting on Mormon Apologetics and Discussion Board you agree to the terms and conditions of this service, and assign the copyright and use right in the material posted to MA&D. Materials posted on the Mormon Apologetics and Discussion Board may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of MA&D and the materials' authors. Participation on these boards is at the sole discretion of MA&D administration and can be revoked at any time.
