I never denied that.
I know the real history and have recited it to you.
Nothing I said contradicts what Scoutmaster posted in 112. In fact, when he was being accused, I came to that thread and supported him. The Smiths did have guns and they had them to defend themselves from the attacks they anticpated from the Carthage Grays, which materialized and cost them their lives.
There was not a shootout because they were trying to escape. There was a shootout because a mob came there to kill them...which they succeeded in doing.
Ok. Jeff. You beleive what you want, you can apparently continue to make excuses for Smith, that is your right.
It is my right to see him as he was not what has been revised about him.
Jeff, I'd ask that you review the thread and your Freemail. My memory (and I've checked) is that your support came a few weeks later in a gracious Freemail and not during the thread.
As we chatted, I expressed disappointment that neither you nor any of the other LDS Freepers who knew the truth were willing to state it publicly while I was being called a liar.
I fully support your right to your theological beliefs. I simply didn't enjoy being called a liar for stating history - history straight from the LDS Official History of the Church and church CES sources - as I answered a question that another Freeper had asked.
