Is it just me, or is Scratch coming across as a bit of a kook here?

Just here? I take Scratch as operating tongue-in-cheek. It is much more fun that way.

Mr. Scratch strikes me more of a hobbiest-provocateur, and his speciality is the Mormon apologist. Is that eccentric? Sure. Is it kooky? I suppose it is if you're the object of his agitations, and if you're prone to hurt feelings.

I'm sure he's just like the rest of the people who post on any given forum; he has interests outside of this forum, but it's clear he has a passion for haranguing Mr. Peterson and his ilk.

That being said, for me, to be able to see faces put to their Internet monikers was interesting. It makes Mormon apologia seem more folksy and amateurish knowing the people behind are so average, and in some cases goofy.

If what some people here have been telling me via private messages is true, you're definitely not alone. (It also happens to be my view.)

May I ask you a question Dan? Are you a first-born in your family? Just testing a theory I read about. Nothing nasty.

I have a half-brother, ten years older than I am, with whom I'm quite close.

And no, Scartch, I'm not going to tell you his name.

What in his "behavior" leads you to think "first born"? Just curious...

First borns tend to be ceo's and managers, rather bossy as they got all of Mom and Dad's attention. They want to rule the world while youngest born want to change it. Comedians and politicians tend to be youngest born

I think, on its face, such blanket observations would be amazingly difficult to substantiate in a meaningful way, especially cross-culturally.

I am the middle child. I guess you can use that for the basis of who I am, too.

one moment, of the well of life to taste-
The stars are setting and the caravan
starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!
