Will the real N T Wrong please stand up?

    I noticed this morning that someone accessed a post on this blog from a blog I thought was no longer available: Emerging from Babel. Its successor blog, to my surprise, is also (again?) available, now titled: all songs lead back t’ the sea. Imagine my surprise to discover that the author of these blogs now is: ntWrong. The man gets around.

    Note to Steve Caruso: Stephen’s two blogs are among the most important in the annals of biblical blogging. Right up there with Doug Chaplin’s old Metacatholic: yes, Metacatholic, too, is at least in part available, in that case, thanks to the Wayback Machine.

    It seems to me nonetheless that Stephen aka ntWrong has indulged in ethnic cleansing on some of his comment threads. At the very least, I cannot find some of the conversations we once had on his threads.

    This post may be old hat to those familiar with the N T Wrong Disambiguation Notice (left sidebar, at bottom). I still wonder, though, about the most (in)famous names in anonymous biblical blogging. Will the identity of their authors – you know, the Stephens and Dougs [not Doug Ch., another Doug] and Deanes of this world – ever become public knowledge? Should they?

Stephen is N.T. Wrong? Man, I've had a grudge against Stephen for the past couple of years after a stormy discussion we had on abortion. But I liked N.T. Wrong. Now what am I supposed to think? :D

That's what endeared Stephen to me: the stormy discussions.

He must be miserable now, since Obama, in which he placed so much hope, cannot be said to have made much progress on the things he cares most about.

Why am I thinking, "We are NT Wrong. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us – always."

Hehe but seriously aye, Stephan loves to feng sui his comments and posts, I've noticed. I have a number that I manually archived before the Library took over the job of doing so, but I'd check the caches there if there have been any recent removals.

Peace,
