Could we shut this thread and start several fresh ones on exactly the same topic? I for one feel that I have not gotten to the bottom of this crucial issue--the GoodK v. Peterson controversy. I am sure that, say, several hundred pages more of informative, insightful, and awareness raising posts about this subject will thrill me, educate me, and make me a better human being. I am particularly happy that we have been able to sustain this long past the druthers of either party. Who could have imagined such endurance, such bliss?

Please PM me when my dreams of new threads on this topic come true. I don't want to miss one edifying post.

DCP and mini-DCP have asked for this topic to be continued on a new thread, and if I had time I would, but I don't have time for much more than this post so I guess you both will have to suffer.

Let me say it again, in case DCP's well-poisoning and deceptive little whispers about "details" has confused anyone: DCP outing me as GoodK on this message board while my sister was in ICU fighting for her life was malicious and destructive. It has destroyed the relationship I had with my step-dad, for better or worse. I think it's apparent that even he thinks he was wrong by the constant minimization : "I sent a link to a public message board to a friend, essentially without comment." Ha.

Now keep in mind that DCP's definition of friend is fairly elastic. When he came to visit his friend he didn't take his friend to lunch. They didn't go catch a movie, or grab an ice cream sandwich. They met at his campus office, and DCP brought the FARMS professional fund-raiser with him to try and squeeze more money out of a long-time donor and contributor! Keep in mind DCP doesn't know anyone in my family by name - except of course the atheist apostate step-child who dared tangle with him at MAD. DCP was apparently so outraged by the things I said in my anonymous post - that he felt obligated to send it to his friend. Never mind the fact that my sister hadn't been given a clean bill of health yet, or even made it out of a Provo ICU yet. Never mind the added stress to an already distraught family.

It had to be shared, and it had to be shared immediately!
Then, after getting pages and pages of grief in another thread (Why I'm not a Mormon) about your malicious attack on my privacy, you decided to rat on me yet again to my step-dad. I am sorry to say I'm sure he was quite enthused at seeing your name appear in his in-box - and a call to arms in the fight against anti-Mormonism??!! Yippee!

Of course he would take up your cause and come to your aid - he's invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours writing in your organization. Peterson trots the second email out proudly, with no regard for my relationship with my family, as if it exonerated him - or did anything besides piss me off.
The truth remains; he never stepped foot in a hospital that was less than ten minutes from his house to see my family or to throw a hand in the blessing circle, but he criticizes me for posting anonymously about something bothering me in my personal life that he happened to know about. Posting about an email trumpeting the power of the priesthood - an email that falsely implied that my sister had benefited from Mormon magic - was just too much for him to sit on.

I drove from L.A to Provo all night to see her, even though she was unconscious and has no memory of me being there -- and you sat on your rear and emailed my step-dad. You make me sick. All over again.

On an unrelated note, I just have to tell you all that I am very, very excited about the project I am working on that will expose the church's gulag. Stay tuned...

GoodK,

I don't know whether you are trying to insinuate that I have taken sides on this issue, because I refuse to do so. I don't know what happened, and the more I read, the less I know what to think about it all. I have declared that I would not have done what Daniel has been accused of doing, and that is about all I have to say on the matter. What I am tired of--and I thought, by the way, that you were too--is the constant back and forth over it.

My mistake in thinking you were sick of it. I guess I didn't follow the thread quite closely enough, and/or I misunderstood your past expressions of weariness with the whole thing.

Trevor,

I don't want people to take sides on this, nor am I implying that you have on this. The facts speak for themselves.

As far as being sick of this topic -- do you know what really makes me sick? What makes me sick is that DCP won't seem to let it drop without getting a last word in claiming with sneaky little whispers that he is innocent.

It's not right.

Besides, I resent him for doing what he did. It's perfectly ethical for me to remind him and other posters of that.

But I apologize for not responding to his post sooner, like I said, I've been really busy.

My participation in any of this ends with this post. I am sorry that you were hurt. Best of luck to you.
