Rules of Patheos: Midgley appears to violate TOS 10x

[_Dr LOD]

"... Decolonizing Mormonism: Approaching a Postcolonial Zion (2018). One of the things that I have discussed with Dr. Nathan McCluskey, Gina Colvin's husband was whether I was planning on writing something about his wife. And I said that I have actually begun to draft a scathing review of some portions of this book. But that I have lost interest in finishing my essay because Gina has now lost credibility with the Latter-day Saint audience by becoming an Anglican lay preacher of some sort, and joining the now dying Community of Christ--that is, that new sinking ship."

Gee Midge, you are so full of BS. I can guarantee you that both women do still have credibility, and their opinions do hold some weight with Church Authorities in a positive way. In fact I had a phone call yesterday with a GA which was mainly about a medical question, but this GA did mention the book by Brooks, as something I should look up, as we were engaged in small talk.

Neither of those two individuals were removed by church leadership from a university sanctioned position as you were. You have the credibility problem.

[_Doctor Scratch]

An informant directed me to this thread, where Mr. Midgley says:

Well it seems that someone who hides his identity behind the sneering handle Gadianton P. Robbers disagrees. The first time I was confronted by this jerk was on the Kiwi Mormon blog. Disgusting. Nothing more can be said about this one.

Wow, that's a spirited reaction to my mere down-vote of a comment that wasn't even by one of his buddies.

I guess I'm a little surprised he feels this way, since on the Kiwi Mormon blog I was very respectful in my interaction with him. I must have made him think, since he changed his response to my question to him at least once.

Am I mistaken, Dr. Robbers, or were you banned over that innocuous remark? American society is in turmoil at the moment over many, many years of racism, and Dr. Peterson's good friend is using the "N-word" on his blog, and that is allowed to stand, and yet you are banned for merely stating your academic title?

[_Gadianton]

Coach P implied that I'd been banned for correcting Mr. Midgley in his manner of addressing me -- I informed him to address me as "Dean". That's the second comment I've ever made over there, and so it could be months or years before I can say whether or not I really am banned. It's possible that he chickened out at the last moment. Remember how he banned Dr. Moore and Dr. LOD and then freaked out and unbanned them but something went wrong and the reversal didn't work right, and then he lied and said he'd never banned them?

But yeah, wow, they went nuts on this one eh? I'm sure they are a little nervous that I might actually start posting. On the Kiwi blog, I asked Midgley some probing questions -- no insults. He replied in several paragraphs and then erased the whole thing and wrote something totally different. He knew I'd corner him and avoid giving him an easy way out by resorting to insults. Bear in mind, I've never called Mr. Midgley a name, nor have I used the word "stalker" to describe his activities, and yet, one would think I'm the most terrible person he'd ever met. He was so bent out of shape, that he said I was probably in charge of a "garbage truck"- lol - good one! That's one hell of a wit he's got!

A garbage truck on a good route would command far more than his salary as a professor, by the way. A guy in my home ward in the bishopric had his own truck and operated it personally, and he wasn't doing too bad.

Coach P, of course, doesn't want me posting substance over there for sure; better nip it in the bud. He's been down that road. :)

OH. MY. GOSH.

Yeah, I'm sure Dr. Nathan McCluskey is still "fast friends" with Midgley after hearing that. How on Earth could he not be?

Doctor Scratch, I'd be surprised if Midgley does not account for a full 50% of the future items in the upcoming "Top Ten Happenings in Mopologetics, 2020" edition.

To be frank, I don't think I've ever wished for anyone to live a longer life than I wish for Midgley to live. In spite of the fact that he's 94 years old, I pray that he tarries with us for a very, very long time to come. The man is an absolute goldmine.

Dr. Peterson - If we were to run into a person who thought it ethically permissible, even a moral imperative, to eliminate the Jews or to enslave African Blacks or to burn widows on funeral pyres, as we might easily have done in Nazi Germany or the American Confederacy or the pre-1829 Indian subcontinent, most of us wouldn’t simply have said “Oh well” and observed that different societies and cultures see things differently.

President Hinckley would suggest we stand for something and at the very least it should be in loud opposition to such atrocious ideas and actions. We should take it to the streets if need be; our conscience would be clearer if we did so. Whoever degrades the least of these people degrades the greatest.

But we can’t prove them the way Galileo demonstrated (supposedly from the campanile at Pisa) that objects of different mass fall at the same speed. We can’t demonstrate them by chemical analysis, or by counting elk in the Canadian Rockies, or by measuring tree rings or peering deep into space or dissecting frogs.

Or by counting downvotes made by Dr. Shades.

Moksha: I counted fake Dr. Shades upvotes, not downvotes, of the truly, unwarranted, nasty, disgusting things that were packed into the comments about me by you and others from the Sty who took over the Kiwi Mormon blog. Those upvotes constitute solid evidence--even proof--that Dr. Shakes is himself in full agreement with the rubbish in those comments.

Just as long as there is a full search for the duplicate set of keys to determine which one of the Shades crew took the strawberries you will get to the bottom of it, Sir.

What in the everliving “F” does attractiveness have to do with anything?

"I am confident both both Joanna and Gina are attractive women with whom I would enjoy having a polite conversation."

The Keeviler elf thinks much, much too highly of himself. Also, when did this:

"I have explained to Nathan McCluskey that Joanna Brooks has already lost credibility..." happen?

God he's such a little lying twat.

I would love to see Midgley publish this review.

Personal challenge to you professor. Let’s see if you can do an actual objective review of the content of the book.

I think most of what he posted here is a lie. He really didn’t say any of that to Colvins Husband. He is too much of a coward.

Charles: If you have in mind Decolonizing Mormonism, I have read the book. You are clearly not paying attention. Yesterday I posted the following comment Decolonizing Mormonism, which is a collection of essays edited by Gina Colvin and Joanna Brooks. What follows is my comment that you seem to have ignored:
But I want to do a little advertising for a very odd book. Why? One must also keep in mind that Joanna Brooks has also been the co-editor, with Gina Colvin, of a book entitled Decolonizing Mormonism: Approaching a Postcolonial Zion (2018).
One of the things that I have discussed with Dr. Nathan McCluskey, Gina Colvin's husband was whether I was planning on writing something about his wife. And I said that I have actually begun to draft a scathing review of some portions of this book. But that I have lost interest in finishing my essay because Gina has now lost credibility with the Latter-day Saint audience by becoming an Anglican lay preacher of some sort, and joining the now dying Community of Christ--that is, that new sinking ship.
But I have within two inches of my left hand a copy of this collection of essays that begins with an essay entitled "A Maori Mormon [sic] Testimony" (pp. 27-46). A what? Really?
And the second essay is by Thomas Murphy of all people (pp. 47-66). And then an essay by Joanna Brooks, Gina Colvin's co-editor, entitled "Mormonism [sic] as Colonialism, Mormonism [sic] as Anti-Colonialism, Mormonism [sic] as Minor Transformationalism: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives" (pp. 163-185).
This very uneven collection of essays is has an "Introduction: Approaching a Postcolonial Zion," by both Gina Colvin and Joanna Brooks (pp. 1-23).
I have explained to Nathan McCluskey that Joanna Brooks has already lost credibility and with now Gina having resigned her already radically flawed membership in the Church of Jesus Christ, that I have lost interest in describing the worst of the worst essays in this book.
But my interest in doing so might easily be revived.

When did Dr Colvin resign her LDS Church membership?

[_Lemmie]

Kishkumen mentioned recently how disrespectful Midgley was of Colvin’s choice of worship. He seems intent on making the same mistake repeatedly:

Midgley:

Next time Midgley rants about gemli “disrespecting” his LDS faith, maybe that can be re-posted for him (including his lie about speaking to Colvin’s husband).

[_I have a question]

Who paid for Midgley's trip to New Zealand?
