Rules of Patheos: Midgley appears to violate TOS 10x

Michael: "...being a Mormon"? I trust you mean being a Latter-day Saint. Way back when Jay Todd phoned me to tell me that Elder David O. McKay had just read an essay that had just appeared in print, and that he like what he had read, except my us of the words "Mormon" and "Mormonism."

:rolleyes: Midgley needs to adjust this exaggeration. He has posted it several times in the last year or so, but he keeps forgetting that McKay passed away months before this essay “had just appeared in print.”

Lemmie,

I was just going to note that Lyin' Lou Midgley just dropped another whopper in that he said, "... Way back when Jay Todd phoned me to tell me that Elder David O. McKay had just read an essay that had just appeared in print, and that he like what he had read, except my us of the words "Mormon" and "Mormonism." ONE MINUTE LATER I HAD RESOLVED to try my very best to avoid those labels UNLESS I WAS QUOTING SOMEONE ELSE, who have turned out to be critics. Notice that I now am trying to use the label "anti-Mormon," which is difficult to do, I will grant. I am not scolding you, just explaining my preference."

Capitalizing mine.

Lyin' Lou Midgley has used the descriptor 'Mormon' thousands of times, outside of his claim above, over his career. He didn't resolved to do crap. H was just taking the opportunity to be a dick on Dan's blog.

Lou would probably argue with Jesus if Jesus were here, posting on sic et non, politely asking for civility.

"Lord, he would say, your own Apostle told us to not allow any slam dunks from the critics."

Jesus says in response, "My son, this was an example of a man letting his feelings get the better of him. My gospel is not of attack, attack, attack. You should love your enemies until you don't have any enemies any longer."

"But Lord, Lou complains, they're attacking the Book of Mormon, saying it's not historical, saying Joseph made it up or had help making it up. They even trash the beloved history of my Maori and their conversion story. We should defend against these lying losers and doxx and expose them for the bigots they are."

The Lord says, "My son, Joseph Smith made it up. He wasn't speaking for me and he had an infidelity problem. I didn't wish for him to be murdered but unfortunately that happened. The movement he created is misguided and now is an agent of persecution under the guise of 'religious freedom.' I'm here to try and correct the wrong."

Lou demands, "Who are you? Where are you posting from? Notice how this guy who claims to be Jesus defiles the Prophet like so many critics, blaspheming and hiding behind a false name. Dan is going to look up your email sent to Patheos right now and we will discover exactly who you are!"

Kiwi57 chimes in, "I always knew this 'Jesus' was an imposter and a bigot, just like those liars from the sty."

Jesus then weaps saying, "Lou my son, until we meet quickly and you see me for who I am and know with a perfect surety of your deeds."

Lou's and Kiwi57's computers shake for a moment and suddenly Jesus is gone.

Peterson has very kindly prompted Midgley into adjustIng his story so that it doesn’t clash with known facts:

Moksha, who is not all that swift, and hence his this little zinger has nailed him right in his own bum. Why?

Moksha, whose world is a hate board, does not seem to seem to realize that Elder David O. McKay has passed away. And hence the essay I mentioned was not published in Interpreter, and that Jay D. Todd was the editor of the old Improvement Era.

If Moksha (and also Dr. Shades) will have a look at my essay entitled "The Search for Love: Lessons from the Catholic Debate over Moral Philosophy," BYU Studies 11/2 (1971): 188-200, he will note that by that date I had published essays in the Natural Law Forum, Western Political Quarterly, American Political Science Review, American Journal of Jurisprudence, BYU Studies and the Improvement Era.

In addition, if Moksha will read the essay in BYU Studies, he will see that the essay that Elder McKay read, which led to the phone call from Todd, was published in 1970 in the Improvement Era. Beginning students in universities were or should be to do little research, should they not?

So it was in 1970 that Jay Todd delivered that stern rebuke from Elder McKay concerning my use of words like Mormonism and so forth.

President McKay died in January 1970, right?

Yes. This message that Jay Todd delivered over the phone took place just prior to his passing. If I remember correctly, my wife wondered if he had read my essay, entitled "The Christian World Awakens to the Neen for Prophets," during the months that it was in the editorial process.

I asked because I know that the anti-Midgley obsessives over at the Shades/Moksha message board have raised an objection previously on that score.

I'm aware of how long the approval and editorial process for the Church magazines has taken since the 1980s, so I'm assuming that it was little different in the 1960s and 1970s.

It was perhaps six months in the editorial process. Jay Todd, who became a friend, explained to me that most of what they published was in the que, after it was approved, for many months, and that my essay had gone through much more rapidly than most that were sent in, rather than those being requested. I was a bit cautious about identifying the tile of my essay because I had a feeling that I would be asking for trouble from those on the hate board.

A few days ago I ran across a post by a friend on Facebook. I thought it was powerful and to the point, on what I was discussing with Professor Midgley before he threw his childish fit. Professor Midgleys reaction to this illustrates to me just what his true feelings are.

....I suspect that it was something that the truly weird Dr. LOD posted on your blog that led to back and forth exchanges I had with the Dr. Velho Burrinho that began in October and took place constantly on sic et non until Professor Peterson finally gave him the boot. Subsequently, Velho Burrinho MD has sent me two email messages. Then more recently Dr. Velho Burrinho sent me a disgusting spam after I sent him photographic proof that I met and immediately befriended Dr. Nathan McCluskey, who is Gina Colvin's husband, and also Dr. Melanie Riwai-Couch, in Christchurch in February, when I was not stalking anyone.

Here is the post I sent.

Benevolent racism feels so kind, respectful and loving that you think you are not racist. Those of us on the other side are always like "WTF did you just say?" All the while you smile and blame us for not accepting your racism as love from God.

Check yourself Utahl. You love this and benevolent misogyny. Check yourself. if ever there was a time for being open to repent and accept the consequences of your sins, the time is now.
-Cheii Moroni

From midgleys answer one can see how he choose to "check himself"

And his "proof" of having business cards. Does not change the optics of his transoceanic stalking of Professor Colvin.

We can't save the elderly from being frail and near death. It just is.

We can try our best to keep them from harm.

WiffIely Moksha • 4 hours ago
At what cost? Are the young denied their lives to not prevent the deaths of the elderly? What we doing is not costless.

Moksha: Exactly who is this "we" you opine about?

Moksha Louis Midgley • 22 minutes ago
Good point, Louis. I am only speaking for myself when I say we should do our best to keep the elderly from being harmed. I realize that is not an opinion you would share (especially if I said it).

It looks like SeN now has a Deznat invasion going on. Too bad they banned us they could use the help on this one.

This might be the single ugliest and most problematic thing I've ever seen Midgley write:

Black Lives Matter, if we are talking about a single organization, is a pig in a pigs skin, but the slogan is something else. One must keep in mind that endorsing one is not commiting [sic] to the other.

If it quacks like a duck it is a duck. Professor Midgley repeatedly makes racist comments such as this. This is who he is.
I rest my case.
