The chief symptom seems to be a hostile obsession with a certain mild-mannered academic at BYU
Who are you referring to? Certainly not yourself. (Unless you are completely delusional.) I have never (as far as I can remember) said *anything* concerning your "actual job" at BYU---which is a professor of Middle Eastern Studies. For all I know, your characterization is accurate, and, in your performance of that job, you are completely "mild-mannered" and "academic."
Is this the way you behave online, though? No, not at all. You aren't "mild mannered" at all. You spread vicious rumors, you call people names. You use equivocation. You berate people for being "dumb" or "uneducated."
I guess in the end your characterization of yourself as "mild mannered" is yet another one of your spin-jobs.
-- hence the alternative name DCP Derangement Syndrome -- and a conviction that he's lying as long as he's breathing.
Come on now, that's silly. We both know that you only lie during important junctures. If you lied all the time, then even the TBMs would start to doubt you, and that would damage the "place for faith to exist" that you've worked so hard to cultivate.
Scartcholepsy is invariably malignant, and appears to be extraordinarily resistant to any known medical regimen.
Sort of like Mopologetics, I suppose?
It's silly to fault the editor of a review for asking others to write reviews.
Not when the reviews are belligerent smear pieces.
I've had very little to say about Quinn, period. You bring him up.
Yes, *now* that is true. You avoid discussing Quinn because you know that, due to your many slip-ups, it will be easy to checkmate you yet again. You guys really screwed up on this one, Dan. You ought to just admit it. There'd be more dignity in it.
I'll probably just ignore it, if and when he does.
Of course you will! Ignoring, in the sick mind of Dan the Mopologist, is always preferable to owning up to one's mistakes! Name calling is always preferable to apologizing! Such are the ways of the Mopologist.
You seem to have a boundless appetite for this,
You seem to have a boundless appetite for:
---Utilizing smear tactics
---Spreading malicious gossip
---Chickening out from debates with the likes of Kevin Graham and Bob McCue
---Watching anti-Mormon silent films for FHE
---Losing crucial pieces of evidence (2nd Watson Letter)
---Deceiving people with sockpuppets (FreeThinker, Logic Chopper, Fritz, etc.)
---Threatening legal action in order to score points
---Equivocating
---Lying about the number of "Metcalfe is Butthead" printings.
And so on!
and other sufferers from Scartcholepsy appear to do so as well. But most on this board don't live in Bizarro Scartchworld, and I think going the rounds on your accusations approximately 7,856 times is probably just about enough.
So what? Most people acquainted with your antics either agree that you have behaved very badly on a number of occasions, or else they are shaken to the core at having your jerk behavior put up as evidence. (Remember A Light in the Darkness?)
Such is the way of Dan the Mopologist! Name-caller and gossipmongerer extraordinaire! Will he ever own up and admit that he was wrong? No! It can't be done! It would be too much of a Watershed Moment! To think, that this self-described "mild mannered academic" might ever be so soft as to feel human emotions such as guilt, to think that a person would ever offer up sincere apologies! Absurd! Unheard of! The Mopologetic Agenda rolls on!
