You are seriously grasping at straws... why not let us alone.
A recent electronic and chemical analysis of a metal plate (one of six original plates) brought in 1843 to the Prophet Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois, appears to solve a previously unanswered question in Church history, helping to further evidence that the plate is what its producers later said it was—a nineteenth-century attempt to lure Joseph Smith into making a translation of ancient-looking characters that had been etched into the plates.
Joseph Smith did not make the hoped-for translation. In fact, no evidence exists that he manifested any further interest in the plates after early examination of them, although some members of the Church hoped that they would prove to be significant. But the plates never did.

OR just keep going on and making all sorts of false accusations... you know one day we will all be held accountable for the choices we make. ALL of us.

Joseph Smith never even attempted to translate the bogus Kinderhook plates. He knew, somehow, that they were not real.
Of course, there are rumors, put out by anti-Mormons, that he did try to translate them. If you can find them, I'd love to see.
