The problem with LDS apologetics isn't for lack of trying. The problem is simply that they cannot polish a turd.

Has Snidely Whiplash--aka Daniel C Peterson--ever once been so much as verbally rebuked by a mod here for his sneering, demeaning condescension? Even once?


Yes.

STS,

I believe the woman asked you a question. I don't see a reply from you. I'll ask it another way.

What is your example of uneven and cliquey moderation on this board?

Yes, he has and by posters who disagreed specifically with his treatment of Eric and a certain family matter. Including me.

Yes. Multiple times on that one issue alone.

I have yet to see an example given by STS with regards to uneven and cliquey moderation on this board. I don't know why he hasn't answered.

I don't like this at all.

sock, I don't know what Liz will say but as I stated in a post I just made, he's been heavily criticized by Liz herself (and others--myself included) regarding his treatment of Eric and a family matter, and his inserting himself into a situation where he had no business doing so.

I'm not going to dig up posts for you right now, but if you require them I can try to do that later.

If I recall correctly, STS is in Europe - Norway, perhaps.

When Liz asked: "Care to give an example?", I believe that it was 11:33pm in his part of the world.

You may have to wait until tomorrow.
