Hi folks,

I’ve been having fun posting over at Millennial Star for a bit over a year now, and had been neglecting this blog rather thoroughly.

I see a couple of folks decided to send me up about the meat commerce thing. Just so you know, my family didn’t like that bit either. I’m not dedicated to the idea that Emily was being that creative (saying “Yes, sir” to the question of whether she engaged in carnal intercourse with Joseph Smith by knowing she had passed him a plate of poultry at dinner, e.g., meat commerce). I honestly think Emily more likely simply overstated the facts in hopes of helping the Temple Lot Church retain the property that was the subject of the lawsuit in which she was testifying. And there is also the possibility that Emily was a conjugal wife of Joseph Smith. I’m simply not persuaded that her simply “Yes, sir,” in such a high pressure situation after decades of defending “the principle” is tantamount to an ironclad proof that Emily had sex with Joseph.

As for failing to publish the comments indicating I am stupid and mentally lax, there are entire threads proclaiming my intellectual vacuity available in the public domain. Thus I feel no particular need to approve ancient comments that were made on my website during a time when I wasn’t paying attention to my personal website.

Anyway, I will probably start blogging here more often.
