My personal opinion of Prof. Daniel Peterson of BYU

[_Kishkumen]

Maybe FARMS has benefited from "wealthy donors" interested in furthering its research, not in filling the pockets of FARMS contributors.

Tell me something I don't know. What exactly is your point?

Does that constitute, and justify naming it:

Foundation for the Acquisition of Rich Mormon’s Savings

I know some people think it immoral to have a sense of humor about this, but I don't. I told you why I thought it was funny, and I am not going to be browbeaten into justifying every possible implication of the joke. So there we are.

As long as you're a Scratch lackey, you could be seriously misguided.

You know, Ray, if that were anywhere close to true, instead of petty BS, I might even be offended. But it is not and I am not. If ever you want to explain your accusation, feel free. Until then I will simply regret that you prefer to lob poorly aimed missiles without any ordinance on board.

People get rich of their contributions to FARMS? Come on, Kish. You should know better than that.

I believe that the word "rich" refers to the donors to FARMS rather than the recipients of those donations. The point of the acronym appears to be that FARMS sought donations from wealthy members, they being more likely to donate than members who are poor.

I don't know how one arrives at the understanding that the acronym somehow refers to the enrichment of FARMS or the members thereof.

You have become, in my opinion, a Scratch sycophant. And do with that whatever you feel is necessary. Other than that, I wish you the best. Seriously.

I know one other person who would be grinding on this non-point forever, but he no longer posts here or on the board he century destroyed.

Let me know when you're not talking out of your ass. FARMS sent me requests for donations, too. They didn't set their sights on specific donors, and those who contributed did so of their own accord. It was their choice, if they wanted to donate large amounts. They were not specifically "targeted".

Well, you are increasingly looking like a Peterson sycophant, since Peterson is the person who has been most insistent on this point. Most every other reasonable person here does not agree. What bee got in your bonnet I don't know. But when it comes to the Peterson-Scratch entanglement, I have become accustomed to madness proliferating.

I am sorry you have allowed yourself to get dragged in.

I don't give a rat's ass about the conflict. I don't care about Peterson's obsession or Scratch's for that matter. I am not treating this as a team sport. I guess you do, and you have chosen your team. I hope you find much fulfillment in your new cause of protecting Peterson and attacking your friends along the way. I find it bizarre, but evidently it is more important to you than our friendship, as you have clearly stated.
