Best and worst of 2012In Daniel's comment to the article, he states:
DCP wrote:But — just to be clear — at that point I also resigned (I wasn’t fired) as director of “advancement” (fundraising) for the Maxwell Institute, because my dismissal as editor had expressly been described as part of a realignment of the Maxwell Institute that I felt I could not support (for, among others, ethical reasons).
DCP has now clearly crossed the Rubicon into open rebellion. It's only a matter of time before he is hauled into a disciplinary court.
He truly is the Willy Loman of Mopologetics.

Please. Loman had a sad sack dignity. He understood his failures.

Blixa nails it. DCP thinks he is winning. After having learned the art of self delusion from the church he has now become the poster boy, via the MI escapades.

to say something would be unethical for you to do is not the same thing as saying it would be unethical for others to do it.

Leave Daniel C. Peterson Alone!
Sorry... Don't want to waste time putting graphical words onto an image of DCP crying and then have to upload and link it somewhere.

Your particular system of ethics is peculiarly terrible, attacking the good doctor's character anonymously.
Whereas I'm not a fan of Dr. Peterson's departure from the Maxwell institute and how he did it and how Hamblin has said various things about it, I do credit Dr. Peterson a certain amount of dignity to complain about how things are going on there.
You don't know really his ethical concerns. I can see a number that jump out. Attracting donations and then changing the mission of the enterprise. Committing to publish papers and then not. Not cooperating in the editing process to get volumes out. Enact a mission change different than the original mission. An academic is entitled to complain about such things.
I believe that an institution is entitled to change its mission, and donors and authors of pending papers have no claim whatsoever on the future operations of a non-profit entity, and that egos are clashing in the space of a 6 by 10 office that not too many people care about, but I also credit the ethical concerns. But I would never, ever, disparage somebody public like Dr. Peterson the way you do without putting your name to your classless cowardice. Some day, God will hold you to account.

And then never whine about people pointing out here details of your "personal" life, filing complaints against you, or emailing your partners.
