Re: Peterson and Gee's libel against Ritner?

I came here in the first place to dispute the kinds of things Scratch was anonymously posting about me. They're serious allegations -- e.g., that I'm a racist, a mercenary, a liar, an anti-Semite, a religious bigot, a slanderer, a deliberate wrecker of families and of people's careers, with homicida...

Re: Peterson and Gee's libel against Ritner?

Why respond to those but not to the substantive criticism? I respond to substantive matters in other places. This is not a place where I choose to deal, at any significant length or at the cost of any significant time or effort, with substantive issues. Too much nonsense, too much static, too littl...

Re: Peterson and Gee's libel against Ritner?

There's far, far too much static here for serious conversation.

Re: Peterson and Gee's libel against Ritner?

Will you give notification of a response and a link to it? This kinda applies to the Book of Abraham thread too. I intend to post a notice. And, if I remember, I will. As it is, I appreciate the criticisms. They're helpful. (I'm serious about that. Substantive criticism is quite rare, and I value i...

Re: Did FAIR Put the "Kibbosh" on Kerry Shirts?

daniel_peterson@byu.edu. I would write to you, but what happens when you brush aside what I have to say as beneath you, or say something snide. It's not like I'm allowed to share what you write on the forum. You can say whatever you want and no one's the wiser. But you know that... Ah, the sneaky d...

Nice try, MS. You can keep bumping your thread, and inserting its opening post into other threads, from now until Doomsday, for all I care.

I'll respond when and where I choose.

Hint: It won't be here.

Re: Peterson and Gee's libel against Ritner?

I'm a bad guy for trusting what my former student was telling me as things transpired. That's reliance on second-hand information. I should trust the other guy in the dispute, instead. That's . . . er, not reliance on second-hand information. I only entered into this, years ago, to defend my former ...

Re: A Study In Scarlet...

Hence, my language about "the possible exception of Mike Quinn."

I try to be generous to the opposing point of view.

But even he doesn't see it that way.

Re: A Study In Scarlet...

The story does not shake my faith in the gospel, and it does not necessarily convince me of any type of fundamental 19th Century Utah atmosphere. It does, however, influence my opinion of Brigham Young. As horrific as the bishop's act was, for the prophet to sustain such an act is just as horrific,...

Re: Peterson and Gee's libel against Ritner?

the problem is critics of Gee aren't willing to just leave it alone--they are actually trying to discredit Gee on some weird basis here. Precisely. And even if you were "assigned" a committee, I doubt very much that you had zero influence or control over who was on the committee. I suppos...
