To Whomever this "Chrisw80"is. You said you deleted comments by myself, because YOU think that the comments were 'not neutral'...I was adding information to correct previous comments about which was stated as 'folklore', and the use of such is Mormon folklore'...which was referenced by Gadianton...as a word, that is stated as Mormon Folklore. That is like calling 'quotes' from the Bible as 'folklore', when if you did some investigation of your own, you will and or would come to know that the 'publication from inspired translation' IS INDEED scriptural, so since the titled book called 'The BOOK of MORMON" is indeed a 2nd Witness to Jesus Christ.

Let me share and offer you an 'ultimate challenge' for you. Let me see if you have the intelligence and openmindedness, and yes, courage to 'take upon yourself' the challenge of 'simply reading a book'.

Mormon is not the name of a religion, but more properly the name of an individual, in this case, a prophet whom, anciently, before his death, took 'all of the scribed and written records of his people, consisting of one thousand years from approximately 600 years before Christ...600BC until approximately 421AD...after Death, and 'literally abridged' this record, which therefore is their written and recorded record of their existance. To assist you in this endeavor, let me reference you to a 'chapter and verse' reference, found in this ancient publication... Turn to the back of this book, to this reference...Moroni 10: 3-5. This is a clear testimony and challenge to the individual who will read this book. Moroni is the son of the Prophet Mormon, whom the entire book is named after, because of His taking to task, the abridging of this ancient people, who came our from the Jerusalem area at that time. So, when someone 'makes reference to something from this ancient publication and references is at 'Mormon folklore', then this is a completely incorrect statement or description, and as far as I am concerned, for you to 'delete something' you know little about, and have not even 'looked into', to me that should be illegal. Of course it is not neutral, because it is factual. Mormon, once again, is not the name of a sect nor people, nor religion, it is the 'proper noun' and 'name of a person', not some 'folklore' nor is 'Gadianton a ficticous (sp) name or title...READ the BOOK, and if you do, having in the beginning, read the 'reference I just gave you', you'll come away completely more enlightened, and you'll understand my article or clearification. So, again, I offer you the challenge of reading that 'book' and then you will understand my writing. This is not a 'dare to you', but a 'genuine challenge' for you, especially if you 'love or like' reading a really good book, or reading at all, for what you will read, you will come to know as 'absolute truth', not some meer opinion or neutral statement. I CHALLENGE YOU...and when you have read this book, then contact me again, on my private e-mail. If you are sincere, in your private time, about reading it, you'll find out that you'll hardly be able to 'put the book down' as you immerse yourself in its pages... REMEMBER, just before you begin reading it, turn to the 'reference' I have given to you and read it. You'll come to understand why I go to lengths to see about your own genuiness, and if are a 'seeker of truth' and enjoy, also, reading a fantastic publication, of truth.... Sincere regards...

Oh, I am also an ameature history buff, pertaining to the Pacific War Theatre, during the WWII conflict, and of naval ships, development and actions... My father served and survived war in the Pacific, even meeting and marrying our beloved mother, while on a 'leave' to the Pacific Coast, meeting at a USO playing ping pong.

ANOTHER PROBLEM for you from the following article...

Battle of Samar REVISION as of 01:08, 21 July 2013

This pertains that that 1st photo, on the right of your page. That photo reads, as below here...with the *

In the photo it says that those escort or American Jeep Carriers...'burning from earlier gunfire damage, is braceted by a salvo from a Japanese cruiser (faintly visible in the background, center-right) shortly before sinking. In that photo, if you will look at it, you will see billowing smoke from damage from that 'vessel off on the horizon to the off-center-right' and the individual whom labeled the photo called the enemy *Japanese *cruiser... I happen to have an enhanced and magnified photo of that vessel to the off center right on the horizon. That vessel is in fact the IJN SUPER BATTLESHIP YAMATO using its main battery of 9 '18.1 inch' main guns, shooting at this American ship formation. The Japanese thought that this was incorrectly Admiral Halseys' main task force, when indeed it was only made up of escort vessels. That 'distant ship on the horizon' is much more than a 'Japanese Cruiser', for this encounter was the 'only time' during the war, wherein one of Japans SUPER BATTLESHIPS ever used her main gun batteries for any sort of ship to ship encounter.
