Could I inquire as to the nature of the board's fixation with Dr. Peterson? Nine of the twenty-five threads on the first page are either about Peterson or are having a discussion about him. I just performed a fast scan of the threads. When it comes to Dr. Peterson, I'm sorry, but that's simply strange, and it's getting dangerously close to the point where this board, taken as a whole, has an obsession compulsive condition. Have the members of the board here run out of topics to discuss, or has Peterson transformed the guys in this room into a collection of fan boys?
This thread explains it pretty well:

viewtopic.php?p=2683983#p2683983

For my own part, I avoid most of the DCP threads. I do periodically gawk at the antics of ill-behaved Mormon apologists as one gawks at a dumpster fire.

But hang around dumpster fires for too long and you'll come home smelling like both smoke and trash.

This board started from a clash with FARMS apologists, continued with that clash, sometimes with these same apologists as regular posters here, and has not stopped criticizing the same style of apologetics. I think it is pretty self-explanatory for those who know the style of aggressive, obnoxious, and bullying apologetics FARMS was long known for.

William G,

Don't be a dodo and lump everyone here as having an obsession with dumb Dr. Peterson. I don't have an obsession with him and it would be just as well if I never heard about him again notwithstanding Doctor Scratch.

Now, if you want some good threads to read, I've got lots of them up in the Celestial forum and they don't focus on Peterson but do occasionally bring up some of his apologetic antics and he is challenged. How about you go up the Celestial forum and find something there that interest you? I've got several threads on the first few pages that may interest you.

What are you interested in, if I may ask?

It is eyebrow raising that DCP hasn't grasped the simplest way to get rid of slander is simply to begin producing quality written research. Quit worrying about your own ego and produce material that is fun to read, and worthy of thinking about. Produce stuff that isn't worried about showing your own religion is the only true and living religion on the face of the entire universe, and give us something worth our time already. Good gawd do you have to turn 88 years old before grasping this simple idea?!

Well, we have discussed many topics and Dr. Peterson's sense of humor can be rather winsome. Better to have fanboys who can help him maintain a degree of humility than a dagger-wielding horde of sycophants.

Absolutely not. Some of "the guys in this room" are girls.
