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.

It appears that DCP was embellishing this claim as well. Par for the course for that guy.

He is embellishing because he said one or two?

OK, whatever. :rolleyes:

The point is, even if it was one PM, it was horrible, and the fact that he is supposedly a practicing bishop makes it even worse.

Now, granted, this exchange happened a few years ago. I am not sure that Everybody Wang Chung had announced his bishop calling when all of that happened.

I would think, however, that if he is indeed a bishop now, he would want to straighten things out and apologize.

Calling someone's daughter a crack whore is definitely crossing the line.

Hi Liz,

Of course I have apologized, twice. You are aware of this, I hope, because you were the one who demanded an apology. As I have stated twice before, (now a third time) I have made posts in anger that I regret. I'm not perfect, never claimed to be and all I can do, and have done, is move forward from such statements I have made in the past.

It's interesting to note that Ray continues to make highly offensive and false posts against me and my family. For just one example of many, Ray recently stated that my daughter was arrested for possesion of cocaine and he stated he would post the link. Of course I issued a CFR (I do have a 9 year old daughter and I can promise you that she has only tried poprocks) that was never responded to.

Liz, do you think Ray should man-up and issue me an apology. Also, not to offend, but you of all people shouldn't be involved in this issue. You have literally hundreds of mean nasty posts attacking people personally. I guess Kish was right when he said that tribalism can blind even the best of people.

Thanks for reading my response.

Have you ever responded to those questioning whether you are/were a bishop? Just wondering.

Yes, and so have others.

Has DCP ever admitted that learning that someone's name does not appear in a date base is information?

Daniel C. Peterson wrote: In the meantime, though, Everybody Wang Chung continues to post comments on the message board that seem radically incongruous with being a faithful member of the Church, let alone a currently-serving bishop. Many of them are extremely insulting toward Peterson. He is also reputed to have sent some extraordinarily abusive and crude emails to one or two people who are friendly to Peterson.

Notice Liz doesn't answer the question: why did DCP write in the third person? Or did he have a ghost writer? Equality finds this curious.

You think that if he is a LDS bishop, he ought to apologize?

I would think he ought to apologize, period (I think he has suggested that he has apologized more than once)

Now, since we are publically posting about who should be apologizing. Do you think Ray ought to be apologizing to Everybody Wang Chung and this entire community for posting PM's (at least twice while I was on-line) on the public board? Because I certainly do!

Peace,

Do you think Darth J should apologise too, for posting This?

Here's a challenge for you, Ceeboo: Ask the Admin and mods here why my posting a PM was censored, but Darth J's still remains.

Good luck with that.
