John C needs a new headline writer

Let me fix that for you:

John C's title: "Actually reading Nephi"

Better title:  "Speculating wildly about Nephi's psychology based on my idiosyncratic reactions to the actual text, which doesn't really support my forced readings"

(He even admits this: "this is speculation based on the tiniest textual clues" - his entire argument hinges on such speculations).
