DCP makes this board

[_GoodK]

Agreeing to our moderation decision to treat him as a different class of poster does not in any way mean he agreed with our reasons why. Only that he agreed with our decision.]

Wait... What?

And is it "misleading"? Are you actually a "seething cauldron of hate"? If not, then you really have no grounds for dismissing the new title of "Paid LDS Apologist." You will need to provide a different explanation for why you won't accept this new mantle.

I like "seething cauldron of hate."

Among other things, it's a nice illustration of your incessantly hostile hyperbole. It shouldn't be forgotten.

It was a joke--and a good one--which you tried to claim. People will recognize that it is both funny, and that it contains a grain of truth. *No one* could do the kind of apologetics you do without harboring a certain amount of hatred. That is transparently obvious, and it is part of the reason why you have collected so many enemies over the years.

No sane person is likely to really consider me a "seething cauldron of hate," because it's so outlandish. But a naïvely trusting person could easily fall for your "paid LDS apologist" claim. It's not absurd on its face.

In other words: you would rather use something "absurd" than something that is true. Some kinds of truths aren't very useful, right? Once again we are given more insight into why you are an apologist.

Scratch, you don't know what's in Daniel's heart, so kindly quit making the assumption you're making. What you think is obvious is not obvious to everyone here. And we all have enemies; heck, I've been threatened with death and excommunication, both on LDS boards, and I'm a nobody.

So try a little harder to be more civil. I don't want to have to bleed red ink.

In an effort to make the point that apologists should be actively engaged at online discussion boards, harmony and others have pointed to the number of daily hits at RFM.

It should be remembered, though, that: 1) LDS apologist are disallowed from doing apologetics on at RFM; and 2) LDS apologists are typically banned from RFM. And, this doesn't even speak to the nominal chance of having a rational and indepth discussion there.

So, using RFM actually mitigates against your point. Sorry.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

You missed my point, Wade.

Daniel said FARMS gets 60,000 hits a month (as if that was impressive). RFM gets 160,000 hits a DAY. RFM is only one of the many (1200 at last count by the church) websites that are critical of the church.

If you were making the point that RFM gets more hits than FARMS, then it isn't that I missed your point, it is just that I thought you were stating it in support of your innitial and over-all point.

But, if you were just tossing out irrelevant and inconsequential internet statistics, I am fine with that.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

The day that everyone here treats Daniel fairly is the day he will leave for good (or at least until someone starts a new vendetta against him). Mark my words.

Very astute observation, Trev.

[_Daniel Peterson]

Seriously, it's true.

If my integrity were not being maligned here on a regular basis, I probably wouldn't return here.

That's not likely to stop, though, and I do seriously question, from time to time, whether there's much point in responding at all.

I am begging them not to stop. As the economy keeps tightening, my entertainment options are being decimated. I don't know which side provides me more chuckles.... albeit for different reasons.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread to ask two questions:

1) Where is DCP? Still on holidays?

2) Does DCP really make this board? I can't keep up with all the posts and replies.....


Just thinkin'......
