That feel when the only woman who loved you was your mother.

But she’s dead now.

It would seem that Dr. Peterson is a fan of Smokey's particular brand of "satire":

Incidentally, has it not occurred to folks over at your message board that the person currently spewing anti-Semitic bilge there is simply having you on, to get a rise out of you? I have no idea at all who he or she is -- I hope s/he's not one of mine -- but the signature line "All posts are satire" surely seems a clue. I suspect that those assuming that he or she is actually pro-LDS are falling for a ruse.

Anything to score a point against the "dupes," right? Either it's horrible behavior, or it's not. You can't exactly say, "Oh, wow--that's awful," and then turn around and say, "But I like that it's being used to make you look dumb!"

Goodness, he really does pay very, very close attention to everything that is posted here, right?

Someone like Dr. Peterson is certainly aware of the difference between the tribe of Judah and the Synagogue of Satan referenced in Rev. 2:9.

He is also certainly aware of how evil people use fake outrage to attack employment and social lives of those they disagree with.

This fake outrage from Doctor Scratch over his rejection of a made-up weasel word is a good example.

From an opinion piece, a description of the bigot currently fouling our forums.

”The LDS Church has a White Nationalist Problem.”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints... has always had fringe white nationalists within its membership...

The internet has allowed communities of Latter-day Saint white supremacism to flourish, often anonymously hiding behind profile photos of past prophets and tagging their alt-right faction as DezNat, a hashtag short for “Deseret Nation.”

...Members of DezNat argue that they do not have an ideology and are only motivated by a desire to “follow the prophet,” as written by one member, Tanner Guzy. In what seems to be some sort of overcompensation, Guzy has based his Twitter in painful efforts to portray himself as a strong, traditional, masculine man. He does a good job of normalizing white nationalism, making it look compatible with the lifestyle and beliefs of the average Latter-day Saint guy, and he is just one of the many pushing a hateful, racist and vile ideology...

The church should be highly aware of the hateful rhetoric its members spew using the names and images of prophets and church doctrine online. This is especially needed as national violence rises and the church wishes to be an open, safe environment for all members....

The church has a moral responsibility to address the growing white nationalism within its membership. It would be wise to excommunicate members who spew such vile hatred and declare that their actions represent the faith and the word of God. If this is not nipped in the bud, other members may become vulnerable to white nationalism. While they may hide their identity online, many DezNat members are active members, parents, neighbors and local leaders in Utah communities.The church must do everything in its power — and its power is great— to use education and advocacy to eradicate the white nationalism in the psyche of some members.

The church has an alt-right problem and they must be the ones to end it.

OP describes himself as a former ex-Mormon. I doubt the vile racist is welcome in either group.

It’d be funnier if I had intentionally trolled our obsessive friend into sliding this garbage thread.

The bigot is not really following the discussions he tries to derail, is he? He does provide great object lessons, though. In particular, he provided the perfect illustration for Gad’s point here:

Dr. Moore hits it out of the park.

As for the staff over on a particular website on the web:

In fact, my objection to the word homophobia isn’t really about homosexuality as such. It’s about civil, respectful discourse.

Yet earlier:

For decades, I’ve been caught up in the study and teaching and analysis of languages and texts. I read books about lexicography for fun

Clearly, he's studied lexicography at the expense of basic logic. Is the problem disrespect, or nonsense words? Is he saying nonsense words are always disrespectful?

When the young black girl working fast food asked him to clarify what he meant by "a couple" of tacos, he was so greatly disturbed that he blogged about it in an epic-length post. At that time, he didn't appear to think the girl was a militant political leftist rising to mock the word "marriage". It was, you know, the offense to his perfect pitch for lexicography. It literally hurt his ears.

Of course, we know it can't all be about lexicography, if it were so, then he'd throw in with those waging war on Christmas. How dare people take Christ out of Christmas, even a little bit, to generalize the spirit of the holiday to persons of other faiths?

Oh yes, there's a connection between disrespect and words, but it might take a psychiatrist to explain this to him. For decades, he and his Mopologist buddies have used spelling and grammar correction as a means for disrespecting people they don't like. On the "a couple" thread, Kiwi57 himself admitted there were contexts where it could be okay say "a couple" when meaning more than two. Did the staff writer debate it? Had Kiwi used it that way, would it have sparked a blog entry?

No. Disregard Kiwi, did the staff writer ever take issue with the writing of ldsfaqs or Hurricane S? Never. His perfect pitch is reserved either for critics, or generally, for the "underclass" of society he despises, and that he associates with criticism of the Church. In his mind, lower education levels, especially in those subjects important to "high culture" correspond with dissent with the Church, and high levels of education and culture correspond to obedience to the Brethren -- see MST. His lexicography has always ever been about one thing. To puff himself up as a great intellect who bears the right to dismiss anyone offensive to him for any reason.

But he doesn’t find the anti-semitism of our latest white supremacist offensive, does he? Go figure.

I've been wondering what y'all are talking about with this new round of Smokey. Apparently I have him on Ignore. It works great.
