Perhaps. Is that something frowned upon by you? I'm sorry. Your tone raised some curiosity, that's all.

If "condensending" means pointing out the deficiencies in an argument, then I'm condensending.

Maybe your "tone" raised some curiosity on MAD, too?

The point is that you rushed to label me a Mormon, when you knew nothing about me. Yet your post on MAD is about the "offensiveness" of being labeled "anti-Mormon".

Does it work both ways?

Where did you "defeat" Professor Peterson?


Assuming Dan Peterson, as editor of teh FROB, agrees with what it publishes, I think its clear Goodk used his own logic against him. If "cult" should be abandoned because the alleged cultists do not refer to themselves as such, and they resent the label, then reciprocation and charity dictate that the term anti-Mormon be abaondoned when allaged anti-Mormons resent that label.

And the fact that there is an admitted ambiguity in "anti-mormon", should at the very least invoke consideration and charity in apologists so they can give critics the benefit of the doubt, and use the term only when critics apply the term to themselves.

But Dan doesn't like having to answer for things that he edited. And the mods at MADB do not like anyone challenging Dan on anything. They have made this clear over and over. Dan Peterson receives special treatment and they are not shy about saying it.

I give you 8-10 for honesty.

0-10 for consistency in argument here. Or, maybe 4-10. You did say Scratch was probably a bastard. Make that 9-10 for honesty.

You don't read Scratch's posts? I see. Very objective insight.
Look Ray, you really got on my "p*** off" list when we first met. Your attitude was not appreciated.

As for Scratch, I'm sure he's a bastard (correct me if I'm wrong Scratch).

Let me be blunt, I will reflect what I get. I can be a real jerk as well. the difference between you and I and to a far greater extent Charity is I don't say I'm not and can never be. Don't worry, it's not just Mormons. Check out my responses to dartagnon. I guess we don't see eye to eye either.



I'm assuming by this "Ray A" character's tone that he is a Latter Day Saint, am I wrong?


Ray A. is an Australian who is not currently an actively practicing Latter-day Saint, although he has been in the past. He has alternately been, over the years, at times more sympathetic with the exmo position and at others a defendant of Mormon apologrtics. He continues to hang onto a belief in the Book of Mormon. DCP is a personal hero of his whom he's met personally.

Kevin, a question for you, which is probably a sidenote, but I'm curious. Has Dan ever called you an anti-Mormon? I don't know, you tell me.

It's really more simple than that. Are you saying that me calling you a Mormon is offensive?

I see. A personal bias was obvious, just didn't know where exactly it was coming from.

Paul Ray thinks so! :O

At least I think that was his point? Who the hell knows?!
