Doctor Scratch wrote: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.
I think, again, you've misinterpreted him. He's having fun when he's bantering about with people. I don't think that means he has said he's having fun when it comes to talking to you, or that he's having fun when posters seem to go after him for the silliest of things, attempting to paint him as something he's not.
I think he's reaching the point of exasperation. Just my observation.

I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.

Funny, during this whole episode I was thinking the exact same thing. I seem to recall Dan saying something like, "I'm never upset when I'm typing. In fact, most of the time I'm laughing or I have a big grin on my face while I'm writing my posts" Not verbatim, but close enough.

Hopefully from your near quote you and Scratch can see how to clearly interpret what he said. He's not upset when he's typing things. He was talking about, as I recall, how people wish to paint him as this angry hostile dude whose out to get people. He seems to indicate in response that he's not angry at others. he's not out to get anyone. He's having a good time.
Ah well...you guys...

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.
If there is any one glaring shortcoming to this board, it is the failure of too many people to be persuaded by your unsupported assertions, your incoherent streams of consciousness, and your inability to tell the difference between an assumption, an inference, and a conclusion.

Right on cue, leaky pants.

One thing is clear from all of this; no matter side of the story you believe, DCP is full of crap.
Not that we needed more evidence of that...
Oh, and yes, if we are to take what Ray has said at face value in this thread, it's hard to imagine that he's not bi-polar. His posts here are surreal to say the least, and I think he may have finally snapped for good.

Not a theory, just a suspicion, and I don't mean it as an insult, just an observation (and an expression of genuine concern). I've noticed you be very balanced in the past. This is simply not one of those times.
Don't know what else to tell ya.
