This is too funny. Along with Midgley, Kiwi just cannot stifle the urge to insult. The only thing left for him is a passive aggressive taunt, hoping to draw out someone who disagrees with him, apparently so he can invoke the “they hit me first!” middle-schooler defense. Here he is, quoting Midgley from before Peterson’s moratorium:

Well, of course you weren't. It goes without saying. And after all, nobody says you were.

Dan,

The Interpreter needs to send back Dr. Moore's contribution ASAP. Do the honest thing for once.

I think this is true, and it's partly because our posters know they are at higher risk of being banned should they do so, but I would just like to encourage any of the above to bring up this board if they wish do so. The payment is to interpreter, not this board, and nobody should feel any obligation whatsoever to help them keep their commitments. I'm not saying there's an obligation to derail their commitments, but that there's no obligation either way. And so if a poster from here is neutral, feel free to be neutral. Nurturing? Feel free to be nurturing. Adversarial? Feel free to be adversarial if that is what you wish to do.

Thank you Dean Robbers, for pointing out the obvious potential implication of my wording.

Absolutely, I did not mean to imply any obligation, condition, or special request for participants of this forum to keep its existence or content hush-hush while interacting with forum guests at SeN. My intent was merely to point out that each of those individuals appears to have been careful not to incorporate references to MDB in their comments at SeN in the past. It was an assertion of fact, which I think is correct, but I could very well be mistaken. Dr Shades in particular, appears to have avoided referencing MDB unless someone else at SeN brings it up first. Should any of that change, however, it would not alter the simple terms of my agreement with Dr. Peterson in any way. And I am under no obligation to encourage or otherwise entice any specific behavior by members of this forum, present or future.

Yes, I agree! Dr. Shades *poofs* into existence over there precisely when he is summoned! Just like a genie.

And DCP, Kiwi, and Midge do an awful lot of summoning.

You are correct, I discovered and joined this board months after, I had called out Professor Midgley on his pattern of racially insensitive remarks (starting with his Jewish remarks), as well as challenging the Lamanite narrative and DNA.

Later after seeing a unrelated quote posted here from his Maori articles, I looked into them. That is when questioned his cultural appropriation of the Maroi for his religious beliefs. He also equated Lamanites with mud, which being someone who he would identify as a Lamamanite I took exception to.

Professor Midgley is a product of his time and the system he bought into. It still does not excuse him.

Yes, and their actions amaze me to no end. If they dislike me and/or this board so much, why do they insist on thinking and writing about me/it so much??

There is too much truth over here. We call them out for what they are, whether it's the plagiarizing issue that seems to have subsided thanks to Lemmie, et al, or Midgley's boorish stalking spying behavior (I bet he has a file on many posters here, trying to doxx them if he can).

What’s weird is why aren’t they obsessed with r/exmormon? For example, the subreddit drops constant truth bombs like:

https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comme ... incidence/

That, to me, is much more damaging to the Mormon church’s mission and to Sic et Non’s vanity project than anything we do. Why the intense, unending focus on this board?

I posted over at SeN because I thought it would be fun. Stem told me years ago that I should give the MAD board another go. I didn't pursue that because who wants to be where you are not wanted. I've stayed at SeN out of stubbornness after realizing I was very much unwanted. Kiwi has suggested that I am masochistic. I try to laugh off the constant attacks by Dr. Peterson's two lieutenants, they have made posting on that blog mighty unpleasant. Dr. Peterson has mentioned wanting to change things. Perhaps he will. Dr. Peterson has suggested they are in attack mode because of my association with the Shades board and that if I hung around and posted pleasing stuff they might eventually mellow out. I think there is much more to it than that. A culture of such attacks has been allowed to develop along with a sense of being victims. The lieutenants believe they need to make venomous cobra strikes as a means of protection. Those bitten think that Animal Services needs to be consulted over the matter of tranquilizer darts. Some with a powerful dosage, some with a geriatric dosage.

I enjoy talking with Mormons. They can be very kind people. There are some people on SeN whom I assume are okay by virtue of not being insulting and some that appear to be those kind Mormon people whom I enjoy. Then there are those who have taken up the poison pen as their contribution to the faith.
