Oooooooh. SSS is Smokey. Makes sense with the whole failed doxing thing.

Why should getting paid for spin-doctoring be a more touchy subject than getting paid to teach Arabic? I could see being sensitive about being paid to teach Poly Sci, but that is different.
I wouldn’t take that bet.
Dr. Scratch - thank you for the warm and generous welcome. And I apologize for the delay in my response. With the rapidly declining health and eventual passing of Prince Phillip, I have been engaged in service to my beloved country with the Governor General. God save the Queen.Doctor Scratch wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 4:51 pmWelcome, Sir Sam Steele! No doubt the Mopologists are very jealous indeed of your knighthood--just as Dean Robbers pointed out. And I would imagine that the Mopologists have been thrown into something of a paranoid frenzy over your OP.
We are legion.Which "troll" were you, after all? Dr. Detroit? Professor Tapir_Bukk? The Beef Experience? There have been dozens of posters who've been banned, ...
I remember those days very fondly. And I remember distinctly, reading through a post where Dan was arguing for his very odd conception of Libertarianism. His defeat was clear as his central propositions were easily shown to be lacking in both context and rigor. But he refused to back down; to give one inch. He was so invested in the view - and the argument about the argument of the view - and didn't seem interested in refining his own understanding given extremely compelling arguments.... which makes me think that Dr. Peterson's remarks from many years ago--about how he never asked for people to be banned on FAIR or ZLMB--were lies. It now seems clearer than ever that he at least exerted pressure for people to be banned. He simply cannot hold his own in certain debates.
I agree that Dr Peterson can be superficial at times - clearly he does not always read well for comprehension. He is also very touchy on the topic of whether apologetics may actually damage faith.drumdude wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 2:56 amDr. Peterson has spent a lifetime honing a single skill: the ability to superficially skim information in order to cherry pick it for laymen' consumption and to win arguments online. He's the living embodiment of the Plantonic ideal of Confirmation Bias.
As a hobby for a layman, I can understand doing this. But as the foundation for an academic career? Pretty disappointing, especially to those he promised books and other academic output.
He gets extremely touchy anytime the topic of getting paid by the church for this activity comes up.
