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).
