You truly are a prime example of what happens when…

P.S. Why do you consistently have to be so nasty? What happened along the way?
I dunno. Some raging dick clown decided to show up and troll every_single_thread into the ground, not answer questions put to him, antagonize good faith posters, and get off on it while doing it. This is you:rl]
You are a clown. A dick clown.

I deleted the totally inappropriate picture. You are disgusting.
When I saw this here thread though, I finally realized I’m probably hardly the only one with these concerns.
Unfortunately you are seeing some of the worst. To be honest, I’m not sure moderators would actually take down some of he disgusting graphics posted on this thread.
Now I'm offended, Res - you ask the new guy which province he's from, but you've never asked me
I know - in the real world it seems to be more common to offer perks to new subscribers than it is to offer retention goodies, so I should just suck it up.
Damn, Malkie. Don’t suck it up. I’ve just got old man brain. Which province are you from?
Wot? R U trying to doxx me?
I live in Ontario, and I'm known to my Stake Presidency as the guy who opposes the sustaining of the Q15 at every General Conference.

Well. Since it’s a free for all on this forum, and since Mental and ‘His Own Man’ are flagrantly violating the rules with no oversight, my deal with Shades is off. IT’S DICK CLOWNS HERE ON OUT, BOYS.

So if others behave poorly, you are automatically granted a golden ticket to behave poorly yourself?

That was my feeling. Some of CAM'S posts were over the top for the Terrestrial Forum. And I know you agree with me on that.

You've come to the right place for answers, Canadiandude2.
First of all, DCP and substance are like oil and water. He doesn't do substance. And so, if there is a scholar out there doing something really interesting and engaging, there is a reason why he's not looking at that, and instead, spending his time battling trolls on his blog. Nearly 20 years ago on the precursor to this message board, which was a home for several old-school LDS scholars, DCP stayed out of the deep end of the pool. He would claim that the Internet isn't the place for real scholarship, and that if he wants scholarship, he'll peruse journals that the message board detractors likely didn't have access to. Interestingly, for all the heavy scholarship he implied kept him occupied, we haven't seen much by way of his own scholarly publishing or commentary come to the light of the day through any venue, including SeN.
You're right that the turf of the scholars you've noted is the grounds upon which his stay at the MI came to a close. It was a tactical error on his part to not be tuned in to the power that movement held. He does send out minions via Interpreter to challenge the new era of PC Mormonism, but it's less through direct engagement, and more through Interpreter publishing their own reactionary commentary on the Proclamation of the Family and stuff like that.
What was the final straw that caused Daniel Peterson to stop engaging directly with critics on the message boards? Was it his firing from the MI in 2012?
I know I've seen him post on the old Discuss Mormonism board ages ago.
