I can understand why an academic journal chose to go in a new direction. I can understand frustration with Mormon apologetics. I can understand frustration with DCP's internet persona.
I cannot understand why everyone is piling on DCP while he is down. Even if DCP is your enemy, have a little class in battle.
When a fighter beats his/her opponent the fighter must help the opponent up.
What has DCP done to you? If nothing, pat him on the back and let him know he had a good run. Most of us have been punched in the face. Some of us have been knocked silly. Some of us have knocked others silly. When the fighting is done can you not shake hands and let the opponent regroup?

If you think these threads are piling on, you've never been in a board war or a flame out. Most of the posts are either supportive or neutral. And the rest? Well... what goes around, etc.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

I don't even know what's going on, lol.
Oh for shame, how the mortals put the blame on us gods, for they say evils come from us, but it is they, rather, who by their own recklessness win sorrow beyond what is given... Zeus (1178 BC)

You must be kidding.
If he has done something personal to you then I am not addressing you. I am not sure of the details of your situation and wish you the best.

Forgot to add...
Apparently I am perceiving the DCP situation wrong. According to harmony the vast majority of posters on this board are neutral or positive towards DCP and this situation. Likewise, I am guessing based on responses that DCP has harmed many posters in a very personal manner.

There was a joke in the early 70's:
- Do you understand this Arab–Israeli conflict?
- Wait a minute, I will explain it.
- Don't do it, please. I can explain it, too. I've asked if you understand it...
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco
- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

You really don't know this place, and it shows.
