Hector "Dr. Stupid" Avalos referred to me by my old name when he first wrote to me, and it has been SEVEN MONTHS since the change! Place your bets! How long will this sort of thing go on? Will they ever wake up to the reality? Or will I have this to make fun of for even longer?

Due to rampant stupidity by Skeptics, and time issues, I'm only going to be on TWeb in my own (tektonics.org) section from now on. Deal with it.

Definitely a comet comment. Some of those on-line atheists will be doing the Beavis & Butthead "Huh huh! He said 'Turkel'!!" nonsense for years to come.

People will deny JPH no longer has the name Robert Turkel just as much as RumTum denies she's Cruiser.
Of course, in both cases, the truth is being denied.

"I would join countless numbers of evangelical Protestants and say I have come to know Christ with fulfilling and life-changing effects and daily witness His grace and leadership in my life. But just because God in His grace and mercy has met us where we are and adapted Himself to our unique cultural and religious circumstances in no way means He has abandoned His original plan. God does not contradict Himself. Truth is intolerant, and truth is found in the Church’s living and Holy Tradition. It is my growing conviction that only a strong living Tradition can protect us from the corrosive and destructive forces of modern life, the insidious and deceptive effects of modern pluralism, and the disheartening and confusing proliferation of religious opinions...What are we to do with this "cloud of witnesses," this Holy Tradition through which they live and speak with such clarity and certitude? Well, for me there seems to be only one logical response. I must turn to the Church and its sacred Tradition; I must listen humbly and be instructed. I cannot let God’s marvelous blessings of the past blind me to what I have missed or deter me from that to which He would lead me still. I must return home to Orthodoxy." Rev. Dorraine S. Snogren, The Road That Leads Home

They'll be using it forever.

maybe you should start using Turkel as your pen name now, just to confuse them.

I don't understand all the fussing. JP returned to his birth name. I think just about anybody would be justified in doing that.

Yes, but their main argument was that JP wasn't to be trusted because he "dishonestly" used his birth name as a pen name. Originally posted by kyleisnotdead
Now that he's officially changed it back they still need to cling to it as it is the only thing they could find that that vaguely looked like JP could be considered a liar.
Although apart from in their deluded minds there is absolutely nothing wrong with using a pseudonym People have a right to keep their names private and many of the greatest writers are known mostly by their pseudonyms. Had JP decided to write all his work as Jazz Jackrabbit there still wouldn't be an issue. (although I would battle to keep a straight face reading them addressing Jazz Jackrabbit)"If you can ever make any major religion look absolutely ludicrous, chances are you haven't understood it"

Why did JPH change his name in the first place?
Maybe, to borrow a trick from a famous musician, he could be referred to as, "the apologist formerly known as Robert Turkel" ?ein miqra yotsei miydei peshuto (b. Yev. 11b)

Just for kicks, whenever skeptics finally do start to get JPH's name right he should change it again. In the future he could be "Jamesbert Patrick Turking".
