Daniel C. Peterson,

Really? CFR that I've ever sent "emails" crude, professional or otherwise, to anyone about you. Strange and false accusations, but I look forward to your response to my CFR.

It's pathetic and tragic. Daniel C. Peterson really is the Willy Loman of Mopologetics.

Daniel, please stop. You're only hurting yourself and the Church.


Desperate actions from a desperate man.

He is resorting to despicable tactics to save face.

Joseph Smith, Jr. wrote: In the investigation it appeared evident to the council that the proprietors were a set of unprincipled men, lawless, debouchees, counterfeiters, Bogus Makers, gamblers, peace disturbers, and that the grand object of said proprietors was to destroy our constitutional rights and chartered privileges; to overthrow all good and wholesome regulations in society; to strengthen themselves against the municipality; to fortify themselves against against the church of which I am a member, and destroy all our religious rights and privileges, by libels, slanders, falsehoods, perjury & sticking at no corruption to accomplish their hellish purposes. and that said paper of itself was libelous of the deepest dye, and very injurious as a vehicle of defamation,—tending to corrupt the morals, and disturb the peace, tranquillity and happiness of the whole community, and especially that of Nauvoo.

I think that Everybody Wang Chung is quoting something that Dan said on MDDB.

Who wrote the above, and where is the original? Why is it in 3rd person?

Further questions:
1. Well, was it one person, or two, who received the allegedly "extraordinarily abusive and crude emails"? Why leave the question open?
2. If (as it seems) the quote attributed to Daniel C. Peterson was written by DCP, I wonder why he cannot say "He sent ..." instead of "He is also reputed to have sent ...". If I were one of these one or two friendly people, and had indeed received "some extraordinarily abusive and crude emails", I think I would be happy to have DCP make a somewhat stronger statement here. Perhaps he doesn't believe me :cry: .
3. I could be wrong (and will stand corrected if it can be demonstrated), but as far as I know Everybody Wang Chung has posted on all sorts of subjects, and frequently (perhaps most of the time?) does not refer to DCP. Of course, it could be the lack of such reference that DCP finds extremely insulting :smile: , in which case, Everybody Wang Chung, please up the DCP content of your posts to avoid ill feelings.

It would mean that the MDDB is performing and running exactly as it was designed to perform and run!

And, to be entirely honest with you, the intended insulation and protective walls that have been erected.......work!

Peace,

Oh good, I was afraid you'd stopped active posting.

Liz, actually the above quote from Daniel C. Peterson was provided by you. Daniel C. Peterson posted it on your board:

Daniel C. Peterson's response.

Maybe you can have Dan respond to my CFR on your board and let us know his response?



Daniel C. Peterson,

How many lies can you spread? Evidently, as many as there are stars in the firmament. Here is a brief sample:

Not being paid for apologetic's lie;

Chino Blanco being Dr. Scratch lie;

Robert Ritner lie;

Second Watson Letter lie;

Everybody Wang Chung sending emails to Peterson's friends about him lie;

etc., etc., etc.


Daniel C. Peterson, please stop. You are doing real and lasting damage to yourself and the Church.

I pray that you will get the help you need and recognize the error of your ways.

Peace,

Everybody Wang Chung

He probably had in mind Everybody Wang Chung's PM to Ray concerning his daughters. A PM isn't an e-mail, but functionally they aren't much different.

This is the incident he was referring to. Ray actually showed me the PM Everybody Wang Chung sent him. It really was awful. However, from what I recall, Everybody Wang Chung claims to have apologized. Ray said that he never received the apology PM.

Maybe, in order to clear the air, Everybody Wang Chung could simply apologize here?
