That might even carry some meaning if Peterson interfered with Scratch's or infymus' relationship as you suggest. But since that's not the case, what in the world do you think justifies the 5 year long campaign by Scratch or Infymus' similarly stated campaig?
Let's say you had a sibling who was homosexual, and the words and teachings of Apostles and the Church caused him to feel so much guilt that he took his own life.
Let's say a homosexual killed himself while blaming the Church but in actuality it isn't eh Church fault? Then what justifies the hostility of this hypothetical sibling? Suicide is often far more complex than blaming some one or some group.
Would you be 'offended' 'upset' or do these words not accurately describe how you might feel?
I can honestly say I don't think I'd blame Peterson in your initial hypothetical and certainly not to the extent that some resent him. And I can't imagine blaming a Church for a sibling's suicide. That is just absurd.
Love ya tons, Stem
I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.
You're baffled that anyone might be irked at the apologists in general or Dr. Peterson in particular.
That's probably not true for Simon, and its certainly not true for me. People can be irked at Peterson but to wage a five year campaign against him like you have done is just crazy. I know you don't get that and you wish to paint that as me being baffled why someone would be upset with another person. look, you're nuts if you think your smear campaign is justified. it doesn't matter even if what you claim in your post is true of Peterson or not (which I'm sure he more than contests).
What troubles me nearly as much is how most posters here go along with your campaign or say nothing pretending its cool, helpful, or honest. To me it reaches some extremes that sit comfortably in the realm of pathetic. maybe that's just me though.

I don't hate critics.
It's hard to take you on your word here, Simon, considering the fact that you've been told numerous times by critics that they don't hate members, but that doesn't seem to impress you. Given how much you talk about hate generally, it seems far more likely that you hate critics than critics hate members.
So, as long as you ascribe hate as the motivation for critics, I'm going to assume that every time you write on this board, it's inspired by hate, and in your own words, that's inexcusable.

That is beyond the scope of this thread. I am talking about a specific case here; that of DCP. He is, undeniably, hated and slandered by at least a few folks here.

Tell me, Simon... do you like Scratch and Infymus? Or is there a better word that could be used to describe your feeling toward them?

Slander - a malicious, false and defamatory statement.
Simon CFR on anything posted in this thread about DCP that is - malicious + false + defamatory.
Remember - it has to be malicious AND false AND defamatory.
