This thread has flushed out extremists on both ends of the spectrum.
On end constantly repeats KJBO talking points.
The other end calls everyone who suspects Darby or Wescott and Hort's motives, "KJVO".
There is a million miles of middle ground between Logos and BB, including the ground where the Truth stands.
Neither extreme can make a point without building a false premise, and insisting that others stand on it, and defend the fictitious position.

Where is the middle ground between one who says all Bibles that are not the KJV version, are Satan's Bibles, and one who maintains the position of the KJV translators that all versions are valid Bibles when done by scholarly religious professionals like the King James Translators?
Where does double inspiration fit into the making of the KJV?
Where does single inspiration fit in?
Why would one have to insist that : anyone who believes that the KJV is a valid translation, believes some "double-inspiration" crap that can be attributed to Ruckman and his camp?
This is the foolishness that the extreme on the other end brings to the debate.
You believe that the KJV was the last good translation in English, so...you must defend the extremists that believe every thing in-between the Truth and the Wacky fringe.
This is so similar to politics, that it is scary.
I don't wish to associate with Homosexuals, so I must defend Westboro Baptist.
Or: I believe that that KJV is the Word of God, in English, but don't trust Farstad's motives with the NKJV, since he clearly doesn't believe that the body of documents from which the AV was translated, was God's Word.
So, I must defend Riplinger, or Gipp, because I'm obviously "KJVO" (which has no definition, and is usually a slur).
I don't mind the endless debate on mss evidence, the Truth comes out, and debate is healthy.
I can't stand getting into a conversation where the other party insists that I put on someone else's clothes, and act out their part in the play.
There is little difference in the 2 ends of the spectrum, and neither are scholarly.
