DCP tucking tail and running away didn't make the list? Stak love was a little over the top, but I liked the rest.


That was item #4. Read it again.

As a public service for those who enjoy reading Doctor Scratch's annual Top Ten Happenings in Mopologetics lists, here are the ones from previous years:]

Dr. Scratch,

Although I do not necessarily agree with the content of the order of your list, you certainly got the Number 1 slot right. Your contribution made entertaining reading, and helped foster a sense of community.

It was also a good counterpoint to the MDD 2012 Moderation Team Goals thread by Nemesis last week:

In the holiday spirit of MDB's top 10 lists on how the church and this board are so evil we felt it would be better if we expressed next years goals we as a Moderation team have set to improve on from this past year.

There was the positive Book of Abraham thread and one other he also ran away from after being cornered... wasn't all about misusing quotes and giving Stak props.

That wasn't very nice. How do you know he's lazy? Have you met him?

I know he's got a full plate, what with his standing orders from Lou Midgley to harass Sandra Tanner, but it always seemed to me like he was giving you the run-around.


Well, Sandra Tanner has been harassing LDS for, what, 30 years? I hardly think one visit to the UTLM constitutes harassment.

Am I right in thinking that the evil Sandra Tanner was inspired to proclaim the Hoffman documents as forgeries long before your Church's Prophet? In fact, had the Church authorities listened to her, two people probably would have been saved from being murdered.

What has Sandra Tanner been doing that classes as harassment?

Scratch
Then, in late October, the board imploded after Dr. Peterson began a series of threads complaining yet again about his various obsessions. This irritated a number of the members of The Cafeteria community, who began "leaking" word of DCP's "Meltdown of Epic Proportions."


There was no reason for anyone who was irritated by DCP on the Cafeteria to "leak" any darn thing at all. They could have challenged DCP right on the board in full public view just like Chickdeario did.

But they are cowards who spit in the face of Liz's friendly invitation to participate. ..

...Jerks without spines.


I think you are making a mistake if you exclude DCP himself from your list of possible leaks...

Yeah, it always give me a chuckle when I think of the anti-Mormon Tanners having more powers of discernment about whose duping the LDS Church than its ordained 'prophet, seers and revelators'. What a crock of s***.
