Rules of Patheos: Midgley appears to violate TOS 10x

[_Lemmie]

So.... it’s been a while since I checked in on Loopy Lou Midgley. On Dodgy Dan Peterson’s personal blog, under some article moaning about being disinvited from speaking somewhere, The Lounatic brings up the congenial gemli, once again, out of the blue:

“Louis Midgley > Jack

Jack is right about academics, especially if they publish in the humanities, which includes history, and so-called "social sciences," or what the Germans call Geisteswissenschaften, rather than Naturwissenschaften.

Professor Peterson once called attention to the fact that in German the sciences are dealt with in ways that mash the dogmatic religion of gemli, since gemli has a very narrow understanding of what constitutes science, and also a poor grasp of what gemli imagines constitutes both science, and religion, which gemli never even tries to actually define, other than it being a way of understanding the natural world, and never being able to explain such things as why water runs down rather than up hill.“

I checked to see if gemli was posting on Sick and None, but he hasn’t posted in three days! Bananas!

The Midge is jonesing.

Good Sunnandæg, everyone. My wife and I are comfortably ensconced on our couch after a 14-mile walk this morning. We’re training, as it were, for an upcoming 170-mile communion with nature, and as I’m luxuriating in repose feeling my heart pulsate throughout my sore feet (and watching an episode of ‘Grand Design’ as additional indulgence), this thought occurred to me, “I wonder how our Saturday’s Warrior is spending his Sunday?”

I clicked on Lounatic Midgley’s disqus profile and promptly saw this bitter little pill posted to a blog entry by his friend who, apparently, advocates that the Washington football club retain its racist moniker instead of changing it to something less offensive:

“Louis Midgley > Moksha

I am in favor of changing Moksha as a name to Dunce. All in favor...”

Waging war, indeed.

It's hard to grasp that Lou the Lard head cannot fathom the incredible and delightful humor of Molksha.

One day, when they find the Second Watson Letter, they might also find this mythical document:

When Elder Packer delivered his talk on the Mantle, I defended him. And very soon I was sent a nice note from him through the Associate Academic Vice-President, who was then over Religious Education at Brigham Young University from Elder Packer. He thanked me and then indicated that I would now be in trouble with some for doing what I did. He was right.

My wife wanted to preserve that note but somehow I managed to toss it away. Rats.

Lol! Sure.

Notice the rhetorical role his wife tends to play in his stories. He wouldn't have thought about aggrandizing himself by keeping a note from 'KKK' himself, assuring him how great he is; it was his wife who wanted to keep it! That keeps him humble, and adds credibility to the story -- there was somebody else who interacted with the letter. And again,

"I should have found a way resigning in protest over the mess he was soon to make of the Maxwell Institute. But my wife begged me not to resign. But later apologized for not allowing me to go out on my own terms."

What's he saying here? That He was able to see the future? Bradford hadn't made a mess of the Maxwell Institute yet, but Midgley sees it coming, and decides to resign. Notice how he says, "should have found a way..." -- what does that mean? Don't tell me leaving the MI is like leaving the mob or something. Again, his wife adds credibility to his story that he wanted out long before anything serious had happened yet.

Lot's of other great revelations in this one. Bradford had exactly 2 friends in the entire world. Who was the other one?

How Midgley speaks about his late wife turns my stomach.

[_Philo Sofee]

Lou is all rhetoric and no substance. All these faith promoting stories and literally no way to actually verify them.......kind of like Joseph Smith's First Vision, or the visit of John the Baptist, or Peter, James and John, or that very pure and holy pissed off angel with the flaming sword. Boyd K. Packer liked Lou! Oooooooooo shiver me timbers! :rolleyes: My good lard, Lou-na-tic is almost high enough in the pecking order with Boyd K. Packer's mantle as to have his very words considered scripture now.....

Dear Lou,

I suspected you would misplace this gossamer letter, so I am sending a replacement copy to the future. I was happy to hear that you supported my statement that whatever we Brethren conjure up is more important than anything you so-called "scholars" produce. I wasn't sure any of the professors would believe that statement, but I knew they would play along because we have the power to fire them.

Consider this a get out of jail free card for any untoward apologetic hijinx you might unleash in the future.

Your Commander,
Elder Boyd K. Packer

Homerun Moksha! Homerun!

[_Doctor CamNC4Me]

It should be noted that as of late the Lounatic has dropped any self-control with regard to attacking Moksha and consistently attacks him personally virtually any time Moksha posts on Sick and None. For example, Moksha has a clever comment to this post:

Nancy Roper Hymas

I've been doing a dive into the life of Herod. He was a very evil guy, maybe even worse than you, Dr. Peterson! ;)

Moksha > Nancy Roper Hymas

Are you suggesting that Herod was a collaborator with the Strengthening the Roman Empire Committee (SREC)?

The Lounatic jumps in with this insult directed at Moksha, “The nitwit opines again.“
