I think Kyler was trying to cover himself lest the SeN pack of apologists smell blood and begin tracking him.

"When Book of Mormon authenticity becomes mainstream."


When flat earth becomes mainstream. When Atlantis rises from the sea. When Hogwarts becomes an accredited institution.

In support of the notion that I’m the person behind Neville-Neville Land, the much less talented but ever-aspiring anonymous Mini-Stalker, whose oft-repeated mantra is “You just can’t make these things up” (which he typically invokes immediately after having just made something up), points to frequent use of the terms gadfly and blowhard, which, he says, is a verbal signature that’s unique to Steve Smoot and to me and characteristic of the two of us.

Well we finally know now that Everybody Wang Chung is the "mini stalker."


Or is he? Maybe mini-stalker is just an office you hold, similar to the LDS concept of "Elias" as a calling or name-title for someone in a preparatory role. Before you move on to the full fledged "Doctor Scratch" Malevolent Stalker state of exaltation.

Exactly.

When Book of Mormon authenticity becomes mainstream, Interpreter will have their hands full helping everyone understand what they've been missing.

The first step would be to actually fulfill the low bar criteria which Phil Jenkins has asked for, and so far not one Mormon anywhere in the world has risen to the occasion to fulfill. Just ONE cultural item overall acknowledged as a legitimate Nephite or Lamanite artifact, kind of similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls being world known as legitimate Jewish artifacts.... You know.....an actual piece of evidence for the reality of the putative Nephites, Jaredites, Mulekites, or Lamanites.... just a mere one item to start this fantasy of Book of Mormon going mainstream.

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]

It’s been a source of much amusement for me the last few days to watch “Doctor Scratch” and his cohorts flail about aimlessly trying to determine my true identity and coming nowhere near the mark. Scratch is so convinced that I’m Stephen Smoot that every little piece of evidence, no matter how wrong, simply confirms his predetermined bias.

It tickles me to death that Neville has managed to unhinge not only Smoot, but at least one other unknown Mormon apologist.

I don't think it does much good to their Christlike image to advertise that there are actually more that just one dirty apologist out there running vicious smear blogs against fellow Mormons... but who am I to stop them?

Go for it smoot and friends! You're doing great! As great as FairMormon's TITS in 2019

Well, to be fair, I was only a finalist this year for mini-stalker. I lost out to some strange short film about missionaries wanking.

Hint: Given its association with Socrates, I would, personally, never apply the epithet gadfly to my Malevolent Stalker. For me, it has too positive a connotation. And I have too much respect for Socrates.

I wish he'd give up the pretense that he reads Greek philosophy.

The Mopologists are certainly making a lot of noise. Despite the denials, I don’t really see much reason to abandon the widely held assumption that Smoot is behind “Neville-Neville Land.” Their denials have taken on a vigor and stridency that has only one equal in the annals of Mopologetics—I.e., when they were swearing up and down that the “leaks” from the Maxwell Institute circa 2012 were all silly “conspiracy theory.”

Should I suggest that Smoot was betrayed by someone in the Mopologists’ inner circle? Someone who is fed up with their attacks on fellow Latter-day Saints? Well, let’s just say that this scenario is every bit as plausible as the LGT.

In the meantime: sure, I’m open to the possibility that someone else is behind “Neville-Neville Land.” But you can be certain that one or more of the Mopologists has been lying.
