Of course you will!

Your one "virtue" in this whole crusade has been your obsessive consistency.

You missed my other "virtue" in this thread: truthfulness.

Is anyone else hoping this thread goes longer than the massive thread on which it was originally based?

It hasn't been the only thing you missed in this discussion.

Not me. I am hoping it will die -it's too embassing. I advise that a certain someone (hint hint) just stop responding. Rollo is not going to change his mind.

I'd be happy if they'd go back to arguing the merits of the original stuff. The Quinn stuff has been hashed over many many times. I thought the missing transcript would be sexy enough for discussion, but apparently not.

No I wish it would end. I think the half that deals with Quinn should be put in the off topic forum.

OK, Scratch. Going back to the original OP of the thread. You have Dr. Peterson on record stating that if Juliann and company lied about an existing transcript, then they should have taken responsibility for that action.

Also, in reading the portions of the thread that were posted here, I didn't find Dr. Peterson to be blindly, blatantly defending Juliann, Jan, or anyone else. His comments during that thread seemed rather benign to me.

As far as this whole case of what has and hasn't happened with Quinn.....I'm inclined to believe Dr. Peterson's side of the story. You and Rollo have yet to produce any real evidence that Dr. Peterson was intricate in the excommunication of Quinn. There is a lot of conjecture based upon pieces of conversation from second hand sources you have managed to glean.

Well unless those that actually discussed the transcript are here there's not much meat in the discussion. It is obvious to anyone that read the thread (I actually read the thread and not the OP) that there was deceit there.
