Some of the rabble (note I said some) at the Great and Spacious Trailer Park (GSTP) are claiming that I am universally attacking everyone who ever posts there. They are wrong. Note what I actually said:

Certain denizens of the LDS apostate intellectual slums of the internet claim that my friend John Gee, a professor at Brigham Young University, lacks all credibility in professional Egyptological circles. (This accusation, by the way, comes from people [i.e. the “certain denizens”] with no advanced degrees in any relevant field, no academic positions, and no peer-reviewed publications of their own.

Note what I am not saying:

1- That everyone on the GSTP are making those claims.

2- That no one at the GSTP has any academic credentials at all.

3- That an intelligent, informed person cannot disagree with Gee about specific issues and interpretations (Egyptologists and academics disagree with each other all the time).

Note what I am saying:

1- Certain people at the GSTP claim Gee is unethical and has no credibility in Egyptological circles.

2- The specific people making these claims that no academic credentials whatsoever by which they can evaluate Gee.

3- That Gee has credibility among Egyptologists is shown by the fact that he has widely published in the field, and has edited an Egyptological journal.

Here are specific examples the types of statements made by those I am referring to as certain denizens of the GSTP (examples could be further multiplied).

Gee is a goddamn lying snake. I trust him no farther than I can throw him.

Just a quick Shout Out to John Gee, who I know is reading this thread.You are a Pathetic Liar, a Coward, and an embarrassment to Mormonism.No wonder your college professor disowned you. If it weren’t for your testimony getting you all these favors at your Church’s University, you’d never be able to get a job anywhere else because you have no credibility outside the small herd of sheep you keep lying to.

John Gee can take the Explanations of Facismile No. 3 and shove them where the sun don’t shine. They are lies created by Joe Smith and John Gee is simply covering those lies through his dishonesty and inability to come clean.You make me sick, Gee. You are the worst Egyptologist on the planet and will be remembered as such. You think Budge is the butt of jokes? You ain’t seen nothing yet. The John Gee jokes that will be cracked 50 years from now will be nasty and cutting. You liar for the Lord!

Gee seems determined to prove himself to be a dishonest asshole. He’s doing a damn good job.
