Peterson, Hamblin, Schryver Online Antics: Request for Help

[_Bob Loblaw]

Do you buy dinner first for gang rape victims too?

At least I can tell my friends I have finally met Mr. Schryver. What a small, insecure person he is.

How do you "ignore" a user on this board? I've heard people reference the feature, but I'm not sure where to find it.

Go here http://mormondiscussions.com/phpBB3/ucp.php?i=zebra&mode=foes and add them to your foes list.

by the way: I missed where Schryver identified himself as a "representative of the LDS church". Link please?

You don't need a specific link. Will posts here under his real name, which is William Schryver. Will is a known apologist from the FAIR board. Those who participate here know who he is, and when he takes up any type of argument which is pro-Church, he is consistent in posting in that vein.

The reason that MI had a problem with Will's posts on Ms. Jack's thread is that it was obvious that Will was not taking the type of responsibility he needed to be taking as a soon-to-be published apologist.

If you really can't comprehend that, then you obviously know very little about academics, Church policies, and the priesthood, in general.

In the interest of full disclosure, Dr. Scratch, I think you should also include Hamblin's preface to that statement:

All one needs to do to see the bigotry on this board is replace the ubiquitous terms Morg and Morgbot with Kike. Try the following on for size:

He's not claiming he has those views about Jews. Omitting his opening statement changes the meaning enough to be misleading. Of course, the fact that he equates "Morgbot" with a racial slur against Jews is, I think, offensive enough.

You don't mean to suggest that Doctor Scratch/Kishkumen was misrepresenting what Hamblin said, do you?

Thanks, Stormy! This thread is much better already!

From what I've heard, seems about right.

OK, this is the first time I've heard this. Where did you learn this from? Link please.

Isn't that what your "investigation" is all about, Ludd?

William was in the process of having his Book of Abraham research published through MI. A representative of MI, upon reading the compilation from Ms. Jack's thread, influenced the other members of MI to squash the publication. That is the whole reason that Will has been whining.

There should be information surrounding this on Ms. Jack's thread. If I have time, I will look for a link, but, frankly, I am inclined to let you do a little simple reading yourself, and conduct your own damned research.

"Ludd" ~ Plenty of "normal people outside of message boards" have reviewed my thread and decided that William's behavior was unacceptable. Some of them were associated with the Maxwell Institute and made the decision to cancel William's upcoming publications based on it. Argumentum ad populum is already highly fallacious as it is, but in this case, I don't believe the populum you're invoking even exists.

Yes, I made a risqué joke to my personal friend, MrStakhanovite. I did that because I know his sense of humor and I know he's okay with that kind of thing. I would never direct that sort of comment at a stranger on the Internet whom I was having a heated disagreement with. I'm not against occasional bouts of ribald humor with friends. I am against using crude sexual references to debase and deride ideological opponents.
