I honestly don't recall him saying that. I believe that he said that Will showed no signs of misogynistic behavior when they met in person. That's different from stating that he treated women poorly on MDB. As a matter of fact, Dan expressed to me in an email that Will was definitely out of line in his treatment of me.


I could be wrong, but I remember DCP also saying he saw no misogyny in Will's online behavior.

Even if true, of course, Scratch's characterization is false...again. He may very well disagree that Will's behavior, though reprehensible, is not really misogyny. That's more a matter of opinion though. Either way, he'll be attacked, whined about, followed, and excoriated for the simplest of things--like because he posted comments on another forum that were rather innocuous. And yet, I'm the dude who people complain about whining when I call you guys out. Ah well. What can we do with such hostility?
Love ya tons,

I think you're overreacting just a little, Stem.

oh boy, here we go again. Putting it on me for calling out the overreacting. I truly wish I could see things so favorably for my side. I just can't do that though.

No one's nailed Dr. Peterson to the cross yet, brother Stem, though you wouldn't know it to hear you rantin' and ravin' and carryin' on so.


(Sorry, listening to an Irish comedian right now.)

heh...the funny thing is the initial complaints about him make it appear he's something of an ogre, a guy whose trying to nail others to crosses. I call it out and it all gets turned around on me. You guys...Quite the tricksters.

One of your problems, Stem, is that you take the comments of individuals here and act as if the whole board said it in unison.

Nice try, Buffalo, I didn't do that. But kinda ironic how people do that with LDS, or posters at MDD or scholars associated with Maxwell.

You do it all the time. Constantly. You really aren't aware that you're doing it?

Doctor Scratch wrote:Sure it does. Using people's sacred, deeply-held personal beliefs (i.e., their testimonies) as an "appeal to authority" over on the Huffington Post is pretty darn offensive, in my opinion.


I just wanted to quickly comment on this.

I can see how it would be annoying/offensive if someone were to continually go to news sites and "spam" the comments with a website link that is wholly unrelated.

However, the story in question was about Mormonism. So no, it's not offensive in the least.
