Because he was EXed he can never be a reliable source as a HISTORIAN? Does being EXed effect other areas too? Would you avoid hiring any EX for jobs?   Never mind that man behind the curtain, look over here! I have at least two very good friends who were exed, both are sincere people.  But they were exed for morality reasons.  I think Quinn was exed for pride--thinking he knew more than the anointed ones who have been called up and chosen to lead the LDS  church.  I have not read quinn's book, but I am pretty sure that although he may have gotten his facts right, his conclusions were either inspired of the devil, as yours often are, :>) Kevin, or he just plain got into a power struggle and had too much pride to admit he might be wrong.  He stood in his own light, rather than the light of revealed orthodoxy.  So, he fell, as did Satan, for much the same reasons.  Pride cometh before a fall, as the saying goes.  Blainerb
