And, even though (to the eventual enormous disappointment of my small band of obsessive stalkers) I have no significant skeletons in my closet, I know that I would not be looking forward to other people pawing over the detritus of my earthly sojourn. I've seen how fundamentally certain people continually misrepresent me while I'm living.
Quite interesting--particularly the bit about "skeletons" in his closet. But what struck me the most here was his insistence that he's been "misrepresented." I'm going to call "baloney" on this claim: I think that, by and large, critics have been quite accurate in their assessment of him and their reportage of his behavior and comments. In fact,
I defy him to provide even *one* example that proves definitively that he's been "misrepresented." I'm predicting here and now that he won't do it, because he can't. Rather like when Jenkins insisted that Hamblin supply "one sherd" of evidence in favor of the Book of Mormon being real history, let DCP--or any Mopologist, for that matter--supply one instance where he was "misrepresented."
It isn't a misreprentation that Doctor Peterson
(1) accepted a cash donation to Interpreter in exchange for his commitment to keep bad-mouthing of this message board off of his blog, Sic et Non
---and---
(2) has, for the past >18 months, allowed all types of bad-mouthing of this message board on his blog, Sic et Non
Both of those facts are easily demonstrable via public-domain web searches and archival sites. He entered a good faith contract and then proceeded to behave in incredibly bad faith.
He's claimed he can't be expected to moderate his own blog, but let's call that what it is -- a lie. Doctor Peterson is more active at moderating his own blog than he ever was at teaching or professional research. His own activity levels, which are also easily witnessed in the web history, shows an incredibly active, hours-per-day, blog owner and comment moderator.
He's claimed that somehow he doesn't have to keep his promise because some people at this message board will bad mouth him. But that wasn't in the agreement. In fact, he specifically noted no such expectation in the agreement. He wants to move the goal posts, but that's a dishonest dodge if ever there was one.
So not only is this particular skeleton "out of the closet," but rather than apologize and do better, he's chosen to stomp his feet and cry foul every time these facts are pointed out, acting like some sort of wronged child whose cereal box toy was unfairly taken away.
