Did you, or didn't you publicly "out" your son as the author of the two Deseret news articles on the Internet?

Feel free to just respond with a "yes" or a "no".

Links would be helpful.

Supply them, or don't.

What kind of sophistry is this?

Since your memory is admittedly weak on this topic, I'll remind you of what was said earlier:

Deny that you've promoted the articles on the Internet and I will gladly post some links as a rebuttal.

Is your question self-referential? (I ask because your responses seem far more evasive than Dr. Peterson's--not that I see Dr. Peterson as being evasive.)

I don't know of a better word than "evasive" to describe Bro. Peterson refusing to deny that he, himself, promoted the articles publicly on the Internet. Do you?

I clearly explained what I did and what I didn't do.

I believe, though I may be mistaken, that I may have recommended the articles on Facebook -- as I've also done for articles by unrelated friends or acquaintances (e.g., Orson Scott Card) and for articles on both Mormon and non-Mormon topics by complete strangers -- without any comment identifying their author as my son or even as a relative. (In fact, I may not actually have commented on them at all.)

That's it.

Though I did point them out privately to a few friends, I didn't publicly boast about the articles or identify my son as their author. Nor can I be reasonably portrayed as having, in any manner, invited my self-anointed enemies here on this board or anywhere else to attack or ridicule my son.

There's no evasion in what I've said here.

If there's anything more out there than what I've described, links to it would be helpful and, presumably, easy to supply.

The games continue. (Yawn.) A post in the "Telestial Forum" promising a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't glimpse of the links that will demonstrate me to be a liar . . .

If Eric does ever actually supply the smoking gun, would somebody be so kind as to save the link and share it with me?

Thanks in advance.

So are you denying that you both:

1. Shared the articles on the Internet publicly.

and

2. Identified your son as the author?

I'm bored with your games. Either provide the supposed links or don't provide them.

I've finished my day's work on the computer. I'm headed up to Salt Lake for dinner with friends and an opera.

As am I with yours. My response is here for those following along.

That's it? I've seen much more exotic itineraries posted by you.
