Hello,
I would like to state that Mr. Yahoo Bot just insinuated, once again, that I'm a "faggot" hence the reference to "Italian friend".
Really?
What's the connection? Are you implying that homosexuality is prevalent among Italians?
Incidentally, and just FYI: both DCP and Kishkumen, both of whom you insist on calling "Mr" in what looks like a display of faux politeness, have actual doctorates, while Scratch, like you, does not.
I'm a real person, with a real name and a real reputation.

OK. I understand. I apologize for making light of this when it indeed is hurting you. I haven't been reading the posts on this thread since the first page. I was just excited to see that you were back here.
I wish you could be here and enjoy yourself here. I'm sorry you can't.
for what it's worth, I would be very happy to engage in light-hearted discussion with you any time.
Peace,
Zee.

Well, I’m going to try to get along with everyone.
I may need to have a conversation with you Daniel and also Uncle Dale, etc.
I think we can share interests and I have no desire not to be friendly.
Wow. That was a thorough rebuttal to Dr. Scratch's assertions reference your involvement with Dr. Quinn. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Unless Dr. Scratch has something substantive I'd like to see him admit he was a bit off base on this one, and make amends. Admitting fault ought to go both ways.

Post Script- Hello Mr. Pahoran. I don't know who you are & I certainly don't know that you hold a PhD in any field. Speaking of faux politeness... "Regards"....

I think he can and does. What he doesn't enjoy are baseless long-term campaigns against him. Those sort of things are hard to enjoy--unless you're a masochist.
By the way, did you hear about the one about the masochist and the sadist? The masochist asks the sadist to hurt him. The sadist replies, "no."

Daniel Peterson wrote:Permit me to clarify some things here:
Quinn resigned from BYU in 1988. (I'm not sure that it's accurate to say that he was dismissed, though I think that the University may not have been altogether sad at his resignation and that he would probably have been dismissed sooner or later had he not resigned. But I'm speculating at this point.)
His excommunication came several years later, perhaps in 1992 or thereabouts.
In other words, his excommunication was subsequent to his leaving BYU, not the other way around.
I learned of his homosexuality sometime after his departure from BYU, but, I think, well before his excommunication.
You're changing your story. This is what you originally said:
DCP wrote:As I’ve noted before, I first heard that Quinn was gay when, with Todd Compton, sometime (I believe) between 1982 and 1985, I was visiting in the home of a person in southern California (where I then lived) who would be widely recognized as more sympathetic to Quinn’s theological and historical views than, say, to Bruce McConkie’s.

Please go back and moderate Mr. Yahoo Bot's "recchione" slur if you would since you're so hypersensitive about homosexuality. Thank you in advanced.
Oh, and calling someone a Big Bozo is as tame as it comes especially when they're misattributing a quote to me.

Wait a minute. Didn't Dr. Peterson just say that he didn't engage in discussion reference Dr. Quinn's homosexuality prior to his dismissal? I'm certain our good Doctor Scratch would simply create a quote, no? It makes me wonder if Dr. Peterson was visiting with Mr. Yahoo Bot since he seemed to be involved in this mess, too.
I'm confused now. Did or did Dr. Peterson not engage in discussions reference Dr. Quinn's sexuality prior to Dr. Quinn's dismissal?
