Would it be too much to ask...
to have at least a few threads where any involvement by Dan Peterson isn't followed immediately by just a bunch of name calling and personal attacks? It's happened far too often, I think, since he first posted here, that as soon as he shows up in a thread, he just gets dog-piled by people calling him names and whatnot, and aside from being rude, it also pretty much derails any thread this occurs in.
Ok, a lot of critics don't like Dr. Peterson. We get it. Can we have a few name-calling-free threads now?

Seth,
I think that he'll have to go to the Celestial Kingdom for that.

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 agree.
There is no reason for us to act as venomous as Pahoran et. al. act toward critics on the "other board".
;)
I actually appreciate Dr. Peterson's perspective, and can learn a lot from him. The fact that he is posting here opens the possibility that he just might learn something from us as well. In spite of himself, he might actually have a good time here.

So... tempted... to... name-call... must... resist...

I thought the Terrestrial Forum was supposed to be free of name-calling as well(?)

PP, Merc and Schmo seem the primary offenders in this regards.

Thanks for thinking of me. You're too kind.
Wait a second... are you calling me a primary offender? Stop the name calling, for god's sake!
