That's exactly what DCP did, Stem. You quibbling about whether the term essay was used is sad and dishonest.

Go ahead and quote DCP's comment again, full text. I triple dog dare you!

Wait a second. DCP did what exactly? We'll start from there. I think you've misunderstood.

He described the article* in question as "alleged"

*synonyms:
arrangement, article , cantata, chart, concerto, dissertation, drama, essay, exercise, exposition, fiction, getup, literary work, manuscript, melody, music, novel, number, opus, paper, piece, play, poetry, rhapsody, romance, score, setup, short story, song, stanza, study, symphony, theme, thesis, tune, verse, work, writing

No he didn't. He described a "hit piece" or "smear" as alleged. This much is clear. Notice how "hit piece" or "smear" doesn't come up in your list of synonyms. by the way, even Kishkumen get's the DCP did not call an article alleged. He made the observation after I did. Its dishonest to claim as you ahve done--DCP describing the existence of an article as alleged. Also its dishonest to claim DCP claimed the existence of an essay as being alleged.

I know you won't get it. But some reader might.

The way Peterson phrased it there is no way to make the distinction you're making.

The way Peterson phrased it there is no way to make the distinction you're making.

Says he, "On the message board where my Malevolent Stalker holds forth, he and several of his acolytes have been hyperventilating for seven outraged pages now -- and the thread may actually be picking up steam -- about an alleged "smear" or "hit piece" that not a single one of them has even laid eyes on."

What? Its clear, he is merely challenging the attempt to categorize it as a "hit piece" or "smear". He is not challenging the existence of any old writing or article.

I'm glad you stay tuned for this very elementary lesson, Buffalo. Now, next on the list, Buffalo's desire to label everyone else he has disagreements with with derogatories.

Break it down for me exactly how you separate "alleged" from (we'll use the generic term) article. Give me your reasoning. Explain how it's clear that alleged only refers to the categorization and not the piece itself.

I love how you call me dense and then you ask me to do this for you. Sorry, Buffalo. Exposing your hostile efforts has been accomplished on my end. Knowing the readers are largely sympathetic to you and your tactics I imagine you'll be okay, so don't fret. They'll, somehow, still see you as a credible poster. Afterall you go after LDS folks. That's what they want.

Personally, I think Peterson is a pussy if he and his cronies can write a critical review of John Dehlin but don't publish it, regardless of what some anonymous GA says...

I mean, if it's not a smear piece, what is there to fear?

So, you're unable to explain how to separate the two? In absence of exegesis from you, I'm left to conclude that it's based solely on your desire to defend Peterson, not from what he actually said.

I'm sorry, Stem, you haven't accomplished your goal. You've only established yourself as a partisan.
