John Dehlin's Meeting with SP

[_stemelbow]

In many ways John is admirable.

He posts on the internet in his own name.

His internet persona and his local church persona is one and the same; there is no hypocrisy.

He doesn't try to defame people with real names or to damage their professional reputations.

There's much room in the church for honorable people, as opposed to anonymous cowards who try and hurt people on the internet.

Was that a jab at me? If it was it hurt.

LOL!

According to Yahoo Bot, all of us who post anonymously are "anonymous cowards". This has been Bot's standing for years. Right, Bot? ;-)

Way to step up for putting your real name out there, Mr. Bot.

Way to step up for putting your real name out there, Mr. Bot.

My real name is well known here. You only need look at my profile. It is certainly well-known enough for a seasoned poster (and, to his credit, one who is not anonymous) on this board to make a complaint to the state bar against me, send emails to my law partners complaining about me and threatening me, and for anonymous persons to contact my stake president to complain about me.

State Bar complaint: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6980&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Emails to partners and threats: viewtopic.php?f=1&p=312674

Wrong. That has not been my position. As I have told you many times.

Using anonymity to hurt real people is cowardice. That is my position. The constant attacks on Dr. Peterson and others are atrocious; the culture around here is noxious.

Not all anonymous posters try to hurt people with real names.

So, it's OK to hurt people, as long as you use your real name?

WTF is a hay bash? Is that something the Catholics do with the left over hay from the xmas displays?

"Hey Father, lets have a hay bash!"

I'm sure it has something to do with light cotton.

Um, hay is sort of pokey so I think burlap or leather would be better. Leather is great. I haven't tried anything with it but it looks pretty cool (cat woman). I foresee this post getting removed... that's okay.

Which is why most of the board recently sent out good wishes and prayers to Dr. P. in regards to his son. Good call, Yahoo Bot. How noxious!

Hey John (I gather from the recent replies, that this is you)

No biggie at all.

Very kind and generous of you (by the way, I am glad things went as they appear to have been reported).

Sorry to be so direct (selfish?), but to be very honest, and because it is you, I was kinda disappointed by the very short contribution you made in this thread.

If you would be so kind, I would really enjoy hearing/learning much more about things sorrounding the OP.

If not (for whatever reason) I understand. (Just thought there was no harm in asking) :)

Peace,
Ceeboo

That kind of disingenuous response will not deflect my point.

“Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret/Him will I put to silence.” (Psalms 101:5 (NIV)).

Talk about having no sense of humor. Sheesh.
