Mr. Peterson is one of the biggest assh*les I've ever seen post on the Internet. He consistently demeans other posters by tweaking their handles, flat out insults them, and then stomps away when he gets treated the way he treats others.

He rarely answers questions that are substantive. He obfuscates, and self-admittedly comes here to "have fun" and to push people's buttons. I don't know why YOU, Jason and Harmony, feel the need to protect this jerk.

He makes claims that he doesn't back up. He plays word games. He sidesteps answering questions. Etc etc... If you think that's a "quality" poster, then more power to you. I think he's an ass. He's as deep as CC when it comes to defending Mormonism, and as wordy as Dart when it comes to insulting others.

So. See ya, Mr. P. Your schtick is tired, and you're a boorish bully. You helped to destroyed someone's career, constantly berate other scholars' works, and are a liar and protector of a fraud. Not a quality guy, if you ask me.

No. What? No! Who did it and where? Show it to me. Don't let the mongrels on this board disgust you away, Daniel.

It is not necessary to leave the board for any reason other than rule-breaking, which you haven't done.

Is that what you'd like? It seems you got your way in booting PP, . . .

PP hasn't been booted. He started a side business that takes up most of his "play time."

. . . and, perhaps for a time, antishock....

The antishock8 thing was a trans-moderator decision. It would've taken place with or without harmony; she can't be blamed.

Miss him or not he rode off on his own horse, Jersey Girl, regardless of who he blames.

He threatened me several times that if I wanted him to leave, he would. I think he was really just calling out for help. Maybe you should have told him to leave if you were really his friend.

Don't beat yourself up over it though, Jersey Girl. When he comes back you'll have another chance to show him you care.

Even though I am mostly a lurker, I have enjoyed your posts.

I may not agree with you but many of your posts where thought provoking.

Take care.

I am not happy to see Daniel go! Nor Nehor either. A variety of opinions and the odd ad-hom makes the board interesting!

And I think Scratch needs a reason to get up in the morning.

You're a contemptible boor, anti-shock. And a cowardly one at that, since you post anonymously.

I guess perspective is everything. Clearly yours and mine differ.....significantly.

You done this so many times (here and on other bb's) that I've lost count. You'll be back.

I feel no need to protect him at all. I just think it rather disappointing that he, or any other poster, is berated, belittled, cursed at, called names-like you do to him frequently-and treated with such hostility that it drives them away.

Also, I guess I don't see him the way you do. Sure he can be annoying at times. We all can. But "one of the biggest assh*les I've ever seen post on the Internet. He consistently demeans other posters by tweaking their handles, flat out insults them..."

I really don't think so. Hell man, look at your own style.
