Secondly, he asked for our reasons - then states they are unjustified. They may not be enough to convince him, but obviously they were reasons enough for many here to turn away from the NKJV.

Please do not impugn my motives. I have stated clearly my motive is simply to gather and understand your arguments for rejecting the NKJV. Thus far it is my opinion that your arguments are weak, mostly flawed, and uninformed. I am sure you think they are excellent, but I disagree.
The reason I challenged many of the arguments given was to see if a more cogent response could be given. This exercise has been somewhat helpful to me in that I now better understand why people from your perspective hold to your positions. I do not expect my conclusions to mirror yours.
The only disappointing thing about this experience was that much of the dialogue seemed to be a bit mean spirited. But perhaps people on this forum believe anyone that is not a KJV only person should be considered a heretic.
I think I will ask that question under a new thread to get the response of this community.
