But I’m baack. Sort of. It simply seems to me that the ability to announce new publications, symposia, firesides, and that sort of thing on a free public message board is too useful to surrender. Particularly in view of my role as Director of Outreach for the Maxwell Institute. So I’m intending to use this forum occasionally in order to make such announcements. (We'll see whether anybody actually reads this "Pundit" forum.)

We here at Mormon Discussions will pay attention to anything you feel might be neglected at the MAD board.
God speed, my friend (or should that be "erstwhile friend"?)

Read: "I need an outlet to self-promote and brag". The Faulconer announcement is an exception, perhaps, but I predict Peterson's future "announcements" will be 90% about himself and his doings.

And, yes, I was abducted by lesbian neo-Nazi biker chicks recently landed from the planet Zarkon.

Probably the same chance that Nibley had of becoming a GA. He'd have to change his Internet ways drastically. But if this did hypothetically happen, I presume that like Spencer W. Kimball, he'd have to go around asking forgiveness of those who may have felt offended. Kimball even apologised to people he felt he hadn't offended. It might actually be a good thing if DCP became a GA. His whole Internet life would flash before him. Sort of like an NDE.

Is this something like Mr. Garrison on South Park pining because his father the pedophile didn't abuse him as a child (therefore, he felt unloved)?
I would love to see Dr. Peterson apologize to people he has not offended with the idea that they might feel left out. "I'm sorry I didn't offend you. It is not that you weren't important enough, or wrong enough, to offend. But there are only so many hours in a day, you know!"

OMG! I didn't realise he was posting in the Celestial Kingdom. LOL. Does anyone remember the story of the camel that snuck its way into the tent, from SWK's Miracle of Forgiveness?
