Actually,
Cassidy, this reader has always wondered why exactly you post as you do. Tomes' articles are anything but sloppy scholarship. His research has always provided thorough study of the topic at hand. You may not like his topics, but they are definitely well-documented and well-prepared, contrary to some of the slop coming out of your favorite publisher. In the past, you have often portrayed your own biases towards "the professor" and his being "Dr." Tomes.
Your other proposed conclusion is worse. You ascribe "malice of forethought" to Tomes for critiquing Lee's commentary on Revelation chapters 2-3. I find it hard to believe that you could even think of supporting a publisher with such "malice of forethought" on every page of
Affirmation & Critique, not to mention some of Lee's other seamy works like
Fermentation.
Could you please rethink your position on "Examining LSM's Eschatology ..." and re-address some specifics that we can discuss, with specific references to Tomes' paper?
