If this is going to stay up, it deserves a translation into non-loon for the readership.

I'm not going to use your board for anything but announcing harrassment.

Scratch – you are right, Peterson outright refused to debate McCue.


Since he wouldn't debate McCue, I'm gonna act like a nutter.

CkSalmon – awesome picture. Saved.


I'm going to create a special file for all my anti-Dan pics because I have no life and more time on my hands than god.

While we (yes there is more than just myself) are staying off of personal property and Mormon Church property, we have obtained pictures of Peterson, his wife, kids, autos, and are digging even further into Peterson’s life.


We've created a losers club whose membership spends time collecting pictures of people we don't know, their families and the all important automobile. We're digging even further into Peterson's life using a high tech process also known as "dumpster diving".

Keep a look out Peterson because we are watching.


It's no fun to watch you if you don't look at us when we do it.

Time for some good old fashion harassment. The kind you feel like delving out to all of the Ex-Mormons or what you call "Critics". Its time for you to feel like looking over your shoulder.


Did I repeat myself?

This is really great. Can't wait to publish all of this.


And you'll know it when you hear, "Greetings Wal Mart shoppers. Before entering your car, be sure to check your windshield for the lastest edition of the Dan Flyer".

Just to do a little more clarification on this.


Waiting for the next round of hallucinations.

Daniel C. Peterson has, over the last five years, published private emails of individuals on the SHIELDS website. We just got word that a possible lawsuit is going to be filed against SHIELDS operators and Daniel C. Peterson concerning private – copyrighted – emails that have been posted there.


We hear voices.

Daniel doesn’t give a s*** about who he attacks. He thinks he has the Mormon God on his side. Well, we are out to show him that opposites are going to collide – and that the world doesn’t really give a damn about a little polygamous cult in Utah, let alone a professor from a Mormon owned university.


That's right. We're going to show him that the world doesn't care about Dan Peterson by telling the world at large about Dan Peterson. You see how that works, don't you?

Daniel has made himself out to be a celebrity of Mormonism. We are approaching Daniel like he is a celebrity. We are the paparazzi that Daniel will wish he never had.


We have no life, no job, no relationships but by god! We have computers!

Things are falling into place. Give it a bit of time to come together.


I can't think any more. All I can hear are the voices! Just because you can't hear them, doesn't mean they don't talk to me!

:eek:

Very uncool. I hope the OP is joking, even though that would be a pretty inappropriate thing to joke about. But it would be better to be joking inappropriately than acting it out instead.

DCP is not my enemy. He's just a guy who happens to believe some things that I don't believe, and he speaks out and defends this belief. If we were still believers we would probably be big fans of his. A few years ago I would have been.

I don't go around attacking my friend who is about to become a Catholic priest just because I don't believe in Catholicism. I don't go out looking for JWs to harass just because their church is retarded. I don't go out of my way to hunt down evangelicals just because they argue against modern science in favor of a literal reading of some Bronze Age goatherders' mythology.

Seriously, our beef is not with the people. It's with the beliefs. Period. Most of my family, on both my side and my wife's, are TBMs. Should I start harassing them too? This afternoon I walked over to my bishop's house to return a set of hole cutters I borrowed from him, and to have him use his planer to take down a piece of pine from 3/4" to around 1/2", for a speaker cabinet I'm making. I don't hate my bishop just because he believes in Joseph's Myth, and he doesn't hate me just because I'm an apostate (and he knows I am, in great detail).

Anyhow, this crap should be stopped. And if it isn't, then there's a clear public record in this thread showing that most of us exmos and critics and wannabe-exmos deplore this type of thing, and oppose it. It's important that this be known.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

I concur with those who have already stated their opposition and disgust to the OP.

Frankly, it's hard to believe anyone, no matter how angry or vengeful, would make such a public announcement if he/she truly intended to follow through on these threats. I suspect the poster is trying to make some sort of point. Of course, whatever point the poster may have been trying to make is now totally lost due to the extreme and offensive nature of the OP, which far outweighs the possible offensiveness of any behavior on DCP's part.

None of this should have to be said, and my original reaction to the OP was that it was best ignored, so it could sink into oblivion. Even negative attention is desirable for some folks. But perhaps it is best that we register our disapproval.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Offensive, unnecessary, and downright stupid. Don't embarrass us again.

McCue sought a sustained formal public oral debate.

If I recall correctly, this is not correct. McCue offered to debate you right then and there on FAIR.

I don't remember it that way, but anything's possible.

I'm not interested in debating McCue. I can't even muster the interest to read much of what he writes.

Doctor Scratch wrote:He was *willing* to do a more formal oral debate if that would've made you more comfortable, but you still declined.

It's absolutely correct that I did not accept his public challenge to a formal oral debate.

I've never denied that. He challenged me publicly. I declined his challenge publicly.

There's no secret there.

Yep, harassment. Typical Mormon Apologist. Attack someone and then post their email conversations. There are those "Critics" who do not have all of the details that others here on MDB have when it comes to debating people like Peterson. So Peterson uses this to his advantage and easily pushes them into a corner. He then smugly flips his intellectual nose in the air and declares that he has somehow won. Yet when he is challenged by others such as, oh, Bob McCue, Simon Southerton, or others here on this board, he suddenly doesn't have the time, or finds the person he is debating with is lacking in some stupid rule that Peterson pulls out of his ass.

Smug ass-holishness. Fits the Doctor perfectly. Always easier to win when you can be the bully. Yep, DCP is a school yard bully.

Ok, it is time to do some serious Daniel C. Peterson harassment. I mean serious Internet harassment of Daniel. One that when anyone searches for his name, it will come up, exposing who he truly is and exactly how he acts.

I'll be back in a while.

More "bridge building," eh, Blair? I ought to point out to you that I have never gone to the extent of messing with people that the apologists have---including DCP. For example, do you know that DCP claimed in a separate post that he was contacting my old teachers in order to try and extract embarrassing, personal stories about my past? Do you know that he got a hold of private, IP information, and then proceeded to use that information in a campaign to intimidate me? Do you know that the SHIELDS guys went and tracked down the police report of a Church critic's death?

Could you possibly supply a link to the post in which I allegedly made that claim?

I don't know who you are, don't know who your old teachers are, and have no interest whatsoever in tracking down "embarrassing, personal stories about [your] past."

Your claim is utterly and absolutely false.

Now, I don't doubt that you'll have something carefully squirreled away in your bizarre and obsessive file system that you will attempt to spin in order to support your accusation.

But, again, I deny it as totally and completely untrue. It's something in which I have zero interest, and that, in any case, I would be unable to do.
