No. It was just me taking away the hater's principal reason for living. Pretty unchristian of me, I suppose.
I had never even noticed the ratings before the hater began weaponizing them. And, while I very much appreciate all those who have stepped up to overwhelm his venomous spite, I think that simply doing away with the star-rankings is the neatest solution. I'd been blogging for a solid decade before I knew about them, and I won't miss them now that they're gone.

Re: Plea to support DCPs blog
Seriously. Peterson is now waiting for his carefully curated star score, which he controls by begging for fives while banning those who give less, and after that he is disabling further star ratings? Unbelievable. Surely Patheos has an opinion about this strategy.Doctor Scratch wrote: ↑Sun Apr 10, 2022 9:31 pmYou mean he's "effectively silencing" himself?

Re: Plea to support DCPs blog
We've gotten rid of credible balanced information in exchange for a one sided echo chamber. We've eliminated the broader public and closed the comments to all but faithful Mormons. Stimulating discussion? How does "great work Dan, you're so smart" pique your interest?Patheos.com is the premier online destination to engage in the global dialogue about religion and spirituality, and to explore and experience the world's beliefs. Patheos is the website of choice for the millions of people looking for credible and balanced information about religion. Patheos brings together faith communities, academics, and the broader public into a single environment, and is the place where many people turn on a regular basis for insight, inspiration, and stimulating discussion.

Re: Plea to support DCPs blog
The same Dan Peterson who would be raping and torturing small animals if it turns out Joseph Smith was a fraud:
Apparently his docile paunchy demeanor is just a thin veneer, held together with the duct tape of divine command morality.DP wrote:And few if any normal people would disagree that such statements as the following are always and everywhere true:
It is always wrong to torture animals, to say nothing of innocent people, merely for pleasure.
Rape is always wrong.
However, if the doctrine of moral relativism is true, such statements can be denied. And, really, they cannot be defended as absolutely, not merely instrumentally, true.

I really hope DCP continues his food reviews. Here is DCP describing his lunch at the local Subway in Provo:

Yeah, that's outrageous. how was the comment received?Marcus wrote:Dear god. Peterson said that about a person online? What is wrong with him?!!
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.
