But then, you seem to sort of like to paint people who don't like you as being really bad people in general.


I really don't see the point in this. I've clarified my position. You simply won't buy it preferring instead to adhere to your own perceptions about Pahoran and your buds. Its plainly obvious to me what you fail to perceive. Ah well. I'm not out to paint anyone anyway. I do call people out at times though.

Good morning, MDB! I wanted to offer readers a bit of a sneak preview of tonight's concluding acts....

On a far away, hidden message board, trouble is brewing. The Kingpin of Mormon Apologetics has formulated a plot to stir up contention and create discontent...

Princess Liz has sought to maintain a "safe haven," where NOMs can engage in friendly and reasonable dischord...

Will her vision be able to withstand the onslaught of "The Kingpin'"s freak-show obsessions???


Stay tuned for:

Act 6: A Splinter in the Mind

Act 7: Group Therapy

And much more!!!

I think he's clearly reaching the level of exasperation.

Do you think Ray is?


Clearly yes.

I kind of laugh at all the drama, but maybe I shouldn't… I honestly don't think these guys lose sleep over what is said here.


I don't think they lose sleep either. But that's hardly the point.

Speak for yourself, Rambo! ;)

When Ray A refers to my low IQ and calls me a r*****, I can't sleep for nights. I'm also on my second beer already, and the night is young.

I blame it on Ray.

But, I still believe this board is true!


I know gramps. If you need a shoulder to cry on let me know. Better yet we will smoke up together and then all your problems of Ray will go away.

by the way along with Harmony I don't think DCP is a typical Mormon either. So he isn't really one to talk.

This is way better than TV!

Well except for "It's always sunny in Phily" I love that show.

Dr. Peterson is *not* "exasperated" or "upset." He said quite explicitly to Dan Wotherspoon on Mormon Stories that he's "having fun" when he posts on messageboards. So, you can view his latest meltdown in one of two ways: (1) he's legitimately upset, and he fed Wotherspoon a bogus story, or (2) all of his histrionics are just a big act.

If they don't lose sleep and it's not effecting there happiness over all then I think it's ok to enjoy the drama.

They really need to mellow out if it's effecting them in a big way.

I think he is having fun. But I don't think he likes personal threats and I don't like them either. When there are personal threats then the message board is no longer fun anymore.

Only you are objective enough to see the truth.

In fact, over the years, he has, many times, indicated that he wished he had a Ph.D. in abnormal psychology. He truly enjoys watching nutters in the crazy house.

I don't take him at his word about being "exasperated" or "upset." It has always been a game for him.

What did he expect?
