Yeah, solo is right. Everything fits, except the Kishkumen-Scratch seems to have lost the strange compulsion with DCP, which is certainly a good thing.

Do you seriously think that after three years of pursuing a crusade most particularly against Mr. Peterson that Scratch would suddenly drop it? What kind of sense does that make?

As much as I admire Scratch, I considered his preoccupation with Mr. Peterson to be a real limitation. You will not find me similarly engaged. Mr. Peterson is just one of many Mopologists, and Mopologetics is but a single facet of the Big Bad Mo.

I am sure I will find many other things to discuss. Like Glen Beck, for example.

Good to see you, Kish. Please tell your sockpuppet hello for me. S/he (i.e., the sockpuppet) can often be a prick, but in the end, I rather like him/her. You can tell him/her that my old "Mister" incarnation is sorry for you-know-what.

As for your statement here---I disagree, and I must take issue with your mischaracterization of my posting as a "preoccupation with Mr. Peterson." What you are saying is akin to accusing a political writer of having a "preoccupation with the president." DCP is far and away the most prominent Mopologist, so if one is to write about Mopologetics, one will inevitably and often wind up writing about DCP, just as one writing about US politics will inevitably and often wind up writing about the president.

And I have covered a wide range of Mopologetic topics. I believe that The Brackite linked to a series of threads demonstrating this. Furthermore: I think you have to factor in the rather obvious fact that Dr. Peterson is very skilled at turning discussion topics into referrenda on his own martyr status. He has worked very hard to portray me in a negative "obsessive" light, and frankly, I think that is unfair. He's clearly been trying to blacken my character.

I think Crockett and Peterson will take a little time off as they have taken quite a whipping in the last few day. Now that you are back they will likely take double time off.

Well, you aren't the only person to think that I am someone else. Funny how you come back, proving that I am not you, and yet you persist in the idea that I post as someone else. Humph. Should I be able to guess who it is you are mistaking me for?

Now, Dr. It is not for me to dictate to you how you undertake to criticize the Mopologists. I, however, have my own interests. Needless to say, I am a huge fan of your work, but I am tiring of Mr. Peterson, so I leave that particular endeavor in your capable hands. I have become more interested in other issues of Mormon culture, as my recent posts reveal. All the same, I am positively chuffed about your big comeback. I remain an avid reader of your research into Mopologetics, whether I participate in it or not.

Yes, and I read your work on the motivations of Mopologists with great interest. I never said that you focused on Mr. Peterson to the exclusion of all else, but it would be fair to say that an appreciable amount of your posts have dealt with Peterson in one way or another.

Liz just started a thread with Eric's Original Post that has a question that is spot on for Dr. Dan and Lawyer Crockett to answer to. So I also doubt you will see these two characters for a while.

Perhaps, doubleOOjerk, will take some time off too.

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

Welcome to the club. Folks (including DCP and Crock) have been saying for years that Scratch and I are one and the same, despite our repeated denials.

It's probably just one of the many petty torments they imagine they are submitting us to.
