This forum lacks substance

[_guy sajer]

I hope that you know I didn't mean that remark as a commentary on you in any way, shape or form and that I was simply engaging in word play.

Not a problem. It never occurred to me to take it badly.

I like ya.

That's mutual.

Gosh. Can the love fest get any worse? To which the answer is, Yes it can. Just watch what comes next:

I thought antishock8's photograph was really funny, too. Even he's not entirely without redeeming value.

You can say that only because you haven't met him. I hear he's much worse in person. He even has BO.

Huh? You talkin' to me, guy? How do you know I haven't met him?

I was joking.

Although I am pretty certain he has BO.

Although I am pretty certain he has BO.

Only a man frothing with irrational rage and hatred against Mormonism could ever claim that one of its Mopologists has BO.

The solution, I think, to the perceived lack of substance here is to have more threads about ME.

Lots of interesting topics come immediately to mind, and I'm sure that the fertile imagination of Master Scartch and his acolytes can readily supply several more. For example:

Is Peterson dishonest?

Is Peterson a hypocrite?

Is Peterson a coward?

Is Peterson a mercenary hack?

Is Peterson unethical?

Is Peterson cruel and heartless?

Is Peterson a haughty and contemptuous swine?

Does Peterson lead an even remotely decent life?

What, precisely, is Peterson's income, and where does it come from?

Is Peterson a space alien?

Did Peterson fire a shot from the grassy knoll in Dallas on 22 November 1963?

Is Elvis being held prisoner in Peterson's basement?

Did Peterson inject race into the 2008 presidential campaign?

Should Peterson be in jail?

Moreover, on the principle of "let us count the ways," each of the topics above could easily spawn a multitude of separate but equally fascinating threads.

And, of course, reprises of beloved older topics could be launched:

Did Peterson orchestrate a campaign to destroy Mike Quinn's life and career?

Does Peterson dream of murdering Master Scartch?

Did Peterson exploit an apartment-complex fire for PR?

Is Peterson an anti-Semite?

Did Peterson use that apartment-complex fire as an opportunity to smear non-Mormons?

Does Peterson stalk critics?

Is Peterson a racist?

Does Peterson salivate at the thought of causing pain to other people?

And etc.

Of course, there is "literally no way" that these questions won't be answered in such a fashion as to make Peterson look bad "in some way." "Either way," Peterson loses. But there can be virtually infinite creativity in coming up with the way or ways in which this is to be accomplished.

Trevor, if you continue to reveal sacred (not secret) Skinny-L material, you can kiss that place in Aspen goodbye forever.

And, while you're at it, you might want to kiss all of your loved ones goodbye, too.

Got that? Have I made myself plain?

Kiss my Aspen goodbye, huh? As a staunch defender of apple pie and Big Gulps (i.e. everything American), I must press on in the cause of truth, always remembering that if it is not shocking, it is probably not worth talking about.

All you have to do to shut me up is to finally admit, once and for all, that indeed you are a brain-dead Morgbot who is utterly incapable of rational thought, having surrendered your grey matter to your Morgbot overlords in Salt Lake City, where it is kept on ice in a secret cryogenic chamber, 1000 feet below the celestial room in the Salt Lake temple. You must also vow to cease forever to defend the LDS Church from all attacks against the Morg, most specifically those which may be construed as establishing its place in the Illuminati Order.

But, alas, I don't think you have the brains or the guts to do this. You just hate the truth that much. Pathetic.

Thanks, but we are capable of filling up this board with substantive threads about you without your help.

And etc.

Does Peterson lack substance?

Does Peterson lack lunch money?

Paper or Plastic for Peterson?

Does Peterson want fries with that?

Is Peterson a stranger to public transportation?

Excellent suggestions. I predict a bright, even brilliant, future for this board when it begins to address pressing and substantive issues such as those.
