Hello Bot,
Actually, I'm a pretty innocuous individual in real life. I get along well with my colleagues, keep pretty much to myself, and don't say much unless asked. I try to stay away from parties, class reunions, and all but patent attorneys, whenever possible.
However, I did think that DrDarbyLDS might benefit from knowing a little more about the fruits of the critical thinking skills he holds in such low regard.

Again, Dr. Darby is Stak. Obviously. And he's needlingly me because I hold in low regard smug skeptics who strut around with the phrase "critical thinking" when it is either empty of content or filled with naïve beliefs about how to analyze ideas. He's grouping me with something he knows we share a dislike of.

Since there isn't enough Nephite archeology to fill a thread (or even a single post), I'm hoping the discussions turns to the proper use of grammar in reformed Egyptian.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Thanks, EA. Appreciate the information.
Didn't realize that Dr. Darby and Stak were one in the same. Haven't been around much lately.
Rereading the good Dr's. posts on this thread, it makes sense though, I guess (all except for the gratuitous DCP graphic, that is).
Have a good evening.

Like I said.
Around here, I think Doc does pretty well. I always enjoy reading his posts and I'm sure he is good company at any gathering.
I'm not so sure about you, though. You seem a little mean spirited and egotistical for good conversation.

Good Gawd, we have got to find some better Photoshop jockeys for these folks. Peterson may be a shameless purveyor of invented and disingenuous crap but I don't know if he yet requires being distorted into a Jabba the Hut lookalike...
