On the contrary, you and many others are obsessed with the MAD board. You report its daily doings; you obsess over Dr. Peterson. Most of you know little difference between right and wrong as you defame him and others with real names. Cast that beam out of your eye.

As long as it's "non-sexual..."

MAD has considered itself at war with this board since its' inception.

Your post comes directly after one in which Will Schryver is quoted as referring to "Shadyville." Seriously.

Nor, by far, is that the first. Many simply refer to "the other board."

Poor crocket. Yet another horse reference has gone down in flames. What else can he do but accuse others of "defaming" Peterson.

It's like our own little bot with a preprogrammed reply.

by the way, here's an interesting MAD thread from Dec. 2006, in which Dr. Peterson made this statement:

(luigi)
As I understand it remains of one horse were found in Florida which was thought to potentially be pre-Columbian-but that it is still up in the air.

DCP
There have also been non-C-14-dated finds in Mesoamerican archaeological excavations and a C-14-dated find in Wisconsin.

http://www.mormonapologetics.org/index. ... =20220&hl=

Of course, he spent the rest of the thread denying that this statement of his had any meaning whatsoever. Interesting how ambiguously worded it is, however. One would THINK that DCP was actually saying that there had been a C-14 dated find in Wisconsin of a pre-columbian horse. One would THINK that, but apparently that would make one a strawman builder, according to Dan.

So just what in the heck was his statement supposed to mean???

Also, according to livy111us, Dr. Peterson was filmed for the video around Jan 2006.

You are right. They are too occupied with ethereal matters to be concerned with the likes of the Mormon Discussion board. It's not like they keep tabs on it or would ever think of banning anyone for posting here.

You are also right about our obsession. You might say we are mad about MAD. "We should cast the Hah-ko-kau-beams out of our own eye before worrying about any planetary objects or Floeese causing them to squint."

Hoping to continue the remarkable success of Latter-day Saint Ken Jennings, FARMS has sent its best and brightest, Professor Daniel Midgley-Welch to compete on the long-running game show, Jeopardy. The following is a partial transcript of his appearance.

Alex Trebek: We also welcome to our show Daniel, a food sciences professor from Provo, Utah. It says here that you enjoy archeology in your spare time. Found anything interesting, have you?

DMW: Don't you think it's rather presumptuous to discuss Book of Mormon archeology before you've read some of the scholarship? Honestly! Do your homework, Alex!

AT: Um, OK, let's play Jeopardy.

DMW: I'll take Potent Potables for $100, Alex.

AT: Jesus turned the water into this during the wedding at Cana.

DMW: What is a nonalcoholic grape-juice-like substance completely unrelated to the modern concept of wine?

AT: No, I'm sorry, we were looking for "wine."

DMW: Really, Alex, your ignorance is showing. You seriously believe that Jesus would violate the Word of Wisdom? I'll take The New Testament for $100.

AT: Jesus was born in this small town in Judea.

DMW: What is the land of Jerusalem?

AT: No, I'm sorry, the answer is "Bethlehem."

DMW: Excuse me, but that's just nitpicking. Anyone who knows anything understands that Bethlehem is in the land of Jerusalem. I thought this was supposed to be a well-researched show.

AT: I'm sorry, the judges inform me that the correct answer is "Bethlehem."

DMW: Well, then, let's try New World Fauna.

AT: This large rodent is found primarily in the jungles of Central and South America.

DMW: What is a horse?

AT: No, the answer is "tapir."

DMW: That's what I said. "Horse" is just a modern equivalent of "tapir." Any idiot knows that.

AT: Whatever.

DMW: I don't like your tone, Alex. Are you one of those vile anti-Mormons, like Robert Ritner? All right, let's go to American Hoaxes.

AT: This one is a visual daily double: These bell-shaped plates, which turned out to be a clumsy hoax, were identified by Joseph Smith as the record of a descendant of this Biblical figure.

DMW: What is "there's no proof that Joseph Smith ever saw the plates, let alone translated them"?

AT: I'm sorry, but that's not a question. Look, can we just stick with the game?

DMW: All right. Let's try 19th Century Politics.

AT: Along with slavery, this practice was called one of the twin relics of barbarism by early Republicans.

DMW: What are loose dynastic familial ties?

AT: Uh, what? Can you be more specific?

DMW: What are nonsexual and wholly spiritual ties through the law of adoption that are unrelated to sex with 14 year olds?

AT: No, the answer we were looking for was "polygamy."

DMW: Why, I am shocked that you would assault the virtue of those pure and lovely women who were merely adopted into the lineage of the prophet. You really have a grudge against Mormons.

AT: Who is this guy? Let's move on to final jeopardy. I'm sorry, Daniel, but given your negative score, you'll have to sit this one out.

DMW: I sure hope you never write a book, Alex, because if you do, I'll make sure we give it a terrible thrashing in our review of books.

AT: Is that supposed to scare me?

DMW: Let me guess, King World Productions is funded by the George D. Smith foundation, am I right? You had better watch out! I'm about to raise my arm to the square and call down fire from heaven on you.

AT: Can someone call security, please?
