Re: The official I'm tired of...
Why is it we are talking about Peterson on my "tired of talking about Peterson" thread. Knock it off!

By the way, Peterson is welcome to post to the thread, so long as he is not talking about Peterson.

Re: The official I'm tired of...
This increasingly boring and personal topic sucks away my desire to post here as much. It dominates. I think it should be declared off-topic (since it is clearly personal and not about Mormonism per se). May I suggest a new off-topic forum? Let's call it the Scratch vs Peterson forum.


when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

Tarski:
YES!
What the heck is the fascination with Daniel Peterson?
I mean, is posting insults to or about Daniel, supposed to mean something? Do posters who do so, think they've landed a punch for the "team" (read:herd) or something?
It makes people look straight up stupid.

I mean seriously (too tired to edit previous post) what on earth is the significance of Daniel Peterson around here? I don't mind the occasional thread about him, but as Tarski said, it dominates here.
Is there some good reason why, on any given day of the week, there are multiple threads about Daniel Peterson?
Is he a huge influence on TBM's or something?
Good grief.

I totally understand John's frustration.
But in the scheme of things Dan and the pimply Nehor don't mean squat to me. They are just background noise to another wise decent board and that is exactly their goal.... to be static.

I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

Background noise. Well, I hadn't thought of it that way. It seems that there's an awful lot of it though.
I think I'm just cranky.

In public he says be nice, but on this board he openly relishes the thought of murdering Scratch.

Only in his tiny world of mopologetics that lives in his fat head.

Discussing Mormon apologetics without mentioning Daniel Peterson is akin to discussing U.S. foreign policy without mentioning George W. Bush.
