The Top Ten Happenings in Mopologetics 2008

[_Mister Scratch]

All of that is besides the point, though, Scratch. You can be quite effective at going off on tangential personal asides.

Back to the original assertion which has yet to be proven wrong:

Gravity doesn't exist. Nor do objects or mass. You live in a solipsistic experience, and none of this is.

You can go off and talk about who is being intellectually dishonest, and that's all well and good for you. I'll stick to this issue from now on, aside from personal matters. I will cease playing your game.

You'll "stick to [the] issue"? The OP is "The Top Ten Happenings in Mopologetics 2008." Just who, Blair, is playing games here?

Care to apologize?

[_Daniel Peterson]

Not one dime of my salary comes from apologetics.

As I've always said.

If I did no apologetics, my salary would remain entirely unaffected.

As I've always said.

I have never denied the occasional $50 royalty, collected every two or three years.

And not one dime of this has ever come from the Church.

What's the big deal?

Truth. That's the big deal.

I said nothing about sticking to the thread topic. Which doesn't even exist!

Then why, Dan, were long-time messageboard participants such as Dr. Shades (a vehement critic, no less!) surprised to learn that you had collected money? Why did you mention your salary when the discussion was very clearly and obviously directed toward payment for apologetics?

The answer seems pretty obvious: you were trying to deflect attention away from the fact that this little "hobby" of yours is extremely well-funded.

[_Gadianton]

What a Lively discussion we've got going here. The two best things about the Holiday season are Mr. Scratch's top 10 list which is always anxiously awaited by everyone, and the posting of Dr. Shades's "Twas the Night Before Christmas".

It sure has been a year filled with twists and turns for the apologists.

[_Daniel Peterson]

It's reassuring to see that the two "Backslappin Bros" are still locked in an embrace.

9. Wheat Stalks Runtu The malign poster known as "Wheat" made an unsavory name for himself as he began to stalk and harass the mild-mannered poster known as Runtu. Widely believed to be a sockpuppet for William Schryver, Wheat continues to post rather vicious and morally questionable material on MDB.

??? When did this happen? Why wasn’t I aware of it?

Just like every other charge you make about people, you can’t produce a single shred of evidence to support your claims. Not even debatable evidence. You just pull this stuff out of thin air. And the most puzzling thing is that all of your friends here nod in agreement when you do it, even though they know it’s all made up, too.

All I ever said about Runtu is that he is a missionary for apostasy. Which he is. Just like most of the rest of you on this board. Your primary focus in life is to convert all believing Mormons into the almost 100% secular humanists you’ve become. Save the world, destroy the faith of a Mormon.

When I first came to this message board about a year ago, my intent was to try to better understand you folks. But the longer I have observed you, the more despicalbe I have found you to be. At first I thought Shryver was going way over board with the things he wrote to and about you. But now I understand where he was coming from. You folks are a bunch of seriously disturbed freaks. Mr. Scratch being one of the worst of the bunch. And I no longer feel sorry for any of you. You folks no longer believe because you have hardened your hearts against God and you refuse to hear his voice. And one day soon you’ll all regret the choices you have made to become an enemy to God, the Church, and the mostly humble and righteous people who call themselves Latter-day Saints.

Hi there, Will. All of this material has been documented. Far better documented, in fact, that your false allegations against Dan Vogel.

I'm not sure why you first started that myth and I don't know why you are so insistent on perpetuating it. But I'm sure you have your reasons.

And I don’t know Dan Vogel, nor have I ever made any allegations, true or false, about the man. Sorry Scratch, your fantasies are lost on me.

You stalked and harassed him on his blog. Did you not?

No.

But I’m sure your readers would love to see you present some evidence for your spurious allegations.






You are a psychopath. Plain and simple.

[And, yet another. Wheat, you might want to change your writing style. I have a feeling your posts will be disappearing quite often.]

Wheat, you are more deluded than I thought, which I didn't think possible.

[Mod Scottie: Ray, this is a personal attack.]

Hate to break this to you but this is a lie.
