I am not a Mormon myself, nevertheless, his linguistic arguments supporting his ideas are pretty compelling.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564529894912348676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-23793769684314625962014-02-02T10:07:33.331-05:002014-02-02T10:07:33.331-05:00The entry hedges on the number of mormons involved...The entry hedges on the number of mormons involved. Some of them certainly are, some of them are probably not. And the entry does not say that Blodgett is, in any way, a formal member of any particular group, but rather that his (pseudo-)research belongs to a specific discipline of lunatic cargo-cult research. And that conclusion certainly holds. And yes, the point of the entry is to expose this kind of bullshit, and it is rather unnecessary to provide any substantial criticism of this delusional, racist rubbish. Just flatly reporting some of the central claims is enough to make people realize how helplessly insane these people are. <br /><br />Now, if Blodgett is, in fact, not involved in this kind of bullshit, I apologize (and must have made a serious mistake somewhere), but your comment certainly doesn't indicate anything to that effect (if these are "100% lies" then why do you restrict yourself to argue with rather irrelevant details that are not even asserted by the original post?)G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-16117068730429806962014-02-01T23:25:13.131-05:002014-02-01T23:25:13.131-05:00It is easy to see that this author has told 100% l...It is easy to see that this author has told 100% lies. 1st. None of the groups he mentions are Mormons. 2nd. Blodgett does not belong to any of the groups he mentions. That is about all he says, therefore, it is all lies to blacken someone's name..mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17459783009861569614noreply@blogger.com
