and certainly the most vulgar, LDS apologist I've seen badger the Interwebs


Fortunately he's among us gentle critics. And not an emigrant in BY's day. They had rather extreme ways of dealing with "discourtesy" back then.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

I don't understand that, Will.

Folks who work hard extremely demeaning others only come off looking like assholes themselves.

I'd think sheerly out of self-interest you'd abandon that strenuous effort.

I assume that you're referring to Skinny-L?

Of course, that isn't its purpose. Not even partially.

And you know that Pahoran is a member of Skinny-L . . . how, exactly?

Are you now stating to us that Pahoran was not really a member of Skinny-L?

I think this, like the "metcalfe is a butthead" episode, as well as many other examples, is a demonstration of the ventings of apologists' spleen, born out of wounded egos.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

I've said nothing about that, one way or the other. Scratch can either come up with the answer on his own, via his rather creepy network of "informants," or he can simply invent it out of whole cloth. He's comfortable with both approaches, I think.

"Spleen" and "wounded ego"? Bill Hamblin?

That's hilarious.

Truth be told, it's not that strenuous. Much practice has rendered the burden light.

However, it is true that in certain company (the present not included) I have sensed the pangs of an inferiority complex.

It's just not a very good one.

Oh, Will, by the way....Based on your latest little outburst, I'm afraid that we won't be able to use the pink fuzzy handcuffs anymore in the Goddess Suite. When you escape from the dungeon, you just insist on making a fool out of yourself, and it is frankly ruining my reputation as a good dominatrix Goddess.

It's solid leather and chains from now on.

Sorry for the interruption, folks.

*sigh* A Goddess' work is never done! ;)

I think you should provide The Brackite with an actual answer, Prof. P.
