“Peter Pan” is Unmasked as Mike Parker

[Doctor CamNC4Me]

But he did know. He’s known since April’ish 2021, and, as he himself said, it was somebody he knew. It was a fellow FAIR and Interpreter contributor.

July 9th, 2022, was when Boylan made his assertion about Nygren being Peter Pan. Linked from Tom’s post here:

What you're saying here makes no sense. As Marcus pointed out, in the prior entry at Sic Et Non, Peterson stated that the author of the blog had informed him of his actual identity and that, as he had guessed earlier, the author is someone he knew.

When Smoot stated that the in real life of the author was Richard Nygren, Peterson replied that he'd never so much as heard of him. The "him" that was being discussed was Richard Nygren. Peterson never says or implies that he doesn't know who the blog author is and never says or implies that Nygren is the blog author.

Peterson says the author of the blog is someone he knew and that he'd never heard of Richard Nygren. You're simply ignoring context and giving each isolated comment the worst possible spin. In context, when Peterson said he'd never heard of Nygren, he confirmed that Nygren wasn't the blog author.

DCP and Smoot are playing naïve here with regard to Peter Pan’s identity:

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 as DCP himself already admitted, he knew Peter Pan’s identity ~a year and half ago at the time of that post. He could’ve just set the record straight with, “Peter Pan isn’t someone named Richard Nygren. I know who it is, and it isn’t him.”

eta: The real burning question is, who fed Boylan the information that Peter Pan is a black LDS man living in Birmingham, AL? The secondary question is why didn’t DCP set the record straight when he had a chance, instead he let the falsehood marinate.

Maybe they were up to some of the same kind of silliness we get up to. The part I find regrettable is letting people think the fictional persona was a real Black LDS person, when it was a white Mopologist all along. That part was a bad idea from the beginning.

If there is something I am missing here that reveals this is all just an innocent misunderstanding, I am all ears.

... Peterson never says or implies that he doesn't know who the blog author is and never says or implies that Nygren is the blog author....

That is a facile statement of nontruth, as Doc clearly points out.

For real. Once again for the peanut gallery. March 6th, 2023, from DCP’s blog:

There is virtual certainty over at the Peterson Obsession Board that Stephen Smoot, going by the pseudonym of “Peter Pan,” is the author and proprietor of the invaluable Neville-Neville Land blog. But I know for a fact that he is not. Up until about two years ago (or thereabouts) I myself was unaware of the identity of the blog’s proprietor, although I suspected that it was someone in my circle of acquaintances. At that point, “Peter Pan” identified Panself to me and, sure enough, it was somebody that I knew.

O/T Who of my in real life contemporaries could I tell, and they'd think I'm sane, that Peter Pan is unmasked as Mike Parker. Not a single one. Why are you here with those butterfly nets? Why are you wearing white? Is that a straight jacket?

I've become too emmeshed in Mormonism.

Note here, Marcus quotes DCP from July 25th, 2022:

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

As the goodly Dr. Scratch notes, DCP can’t keep his lies straight. His timeline shifts, and I think it does, because he’s lying about not knowing who Peter Pan was. I think he always knew, and I think the Neville Neville Land hit blog is an Interpreter/FAIR collaboration. It probably accounts for the syntax bearing resemblance to other Mopologist online posts. There’s definitely an editor involved with Mike Parker’s blog posts, but I can’t explain why lest I violate UR7, so I’ll leave it at that.

Well that’s interesting that an editor there is a member of this forum.

Yeah, that IS kinda odd! Like a mishmash of storylines. Peter Parker/Spiderman:Mike Parker/Peter Pan. All just a little off kilter.

Huh. Another godlike presence we aren't allowed to notice?

This... This right here deserved a video from the BYP! Thanks man

My second post on here... I assume that's a compliment. thanks.. . not sure "what video from the BYP" means.
But I can assure you, I know the entire RLDS History of from 1844 to 1925 and how that Church's view of Book of Mormon geography led L.E. Hills to create his Two Cumorah theory restricted to Mesoamerica. Of course, he used "Central America." Hills didn't come up the the 2C idea. He clearly states it, in his books. An older RLDS member did.

It was a compliment. Here is the playlist for the videos I produce, I am the BYP = Backyard Professor, and I do podcasts, videos, live sessions with folks, and otherwise make myself obnoxious.
