Do you think that Mormons are pathetic, faithless, [sic] losers?


Of course not, and I never said such a thing.

Again, you are clearly insinuating I manipulated the quotes I provided. That is why I provided context and links. Did you read any of them before concluding that I manipulated the quotes?

Well, I'm glad you don't. Perhaps we can take a hit for a more clear mutual understanding.

I'll make you a deal. If you stop bringing up this old joke and accusations of "stalking", I really will try to be more civil with you.

The thread Nemesis started on MAD gave me an additional perspective. I know it must be hard to hear your faith so harshly criticized. I'm going to try to do my part to improve "relations".

I've been playing this game a very long time. I've cut my teeth against James White. This stuff is chicken shoot.

I can be a very bad boy. I just went into the chat room and said the F word several times!

Read some of the stuff that's routinely posted about me here.

You must not be paying attention if you think that what's been served up to you has been comparable.

Have you ever been called a child molester? I have, on the MAD board. The offender didn't get so much as a temporary suspension. You get some pretty bad crap on this board (much of which I think is undeserved, by the way), but I doubt that it gets much worse than being called a child molester.

I know sometimes your physical attributes are attacked here, and I do agree that wouldn't be allowed on MAD. However, when it's allowed here, believers do it, too.
by the way, I do want to add that there were several posters who tried to either defend me or silence the attacks, and some of those were believers.


I see some balance, people gang up on DCP here they gang up on you at MAD.

Hello,

I am not so sure Dr. Peterson suffers fromdisproportionate insults or "attacks", as it were, in size or scope. I believe Mr. Rcrocket called someone a "faggot" in Italian, Mr. Nehor has wished for myself to die, Beastie is routinely berated in a vicious and vile manner, etc.. Even Dr. Peterson himself routinely insults people, most in a passive fashion. What I have noticed is that critics tend to try politeness at first, but only after repeated attacks on their character, intelligence, etc... Do they end up losing patience and respond likewise.

Perhaps this is the only way Mormon apologetics can truly be conducted since the material they are defending is patently absurd to begin with.

Very Respectfully,

What? That's terrible. Whom? Where?

I apologize if I may have used a word I didn't understand. The word "faggot" means hot coal, doesn't it, in English?
