I think the main reason Dr. Peterson doesn't come here to Post is because there's not much here he finds worth responding to. Where are the scholars on this board? Where are the keen insights to the history of religion and Mormonism? Where are the theological discussions? Where's the scholoarly stuff or at least reviews of scholarly articles? Shucks, where are the scholarly reviews of FARMS/FAIR articles?

Let us also not forget how crude this place can be. There's a reason he calls this place a sty.

Set an example then. I just hate it when folks like to call us stupid, and yet can't produce anything better than what this board already has.

For the record, I could care less who is Mormon, so long as you respect my decision not to be and why. I don't agree with folks hiding history or lying about what they're about. If you can keep away from that, then so be it.

So, asbestos...gonna be the shining figure for all us degenerates to look up to here?

We got Gaz and Coggins. If they're not scholars I don't know who is. ;)

He doesn't let that stop him from reading here.

They don't exist. FAIR had to disassociate from that board because of the bovine fecal matter that is there. The only people who bring up points are the people who eventually end up banned.

Juliann and DCP are hardly examples of intelligence. DCP likes to spend his time degenerating others, and Juliann likes to twist words to make her points, and then when backed into a corner, claim that she knew she was lying, she was just doing so to see if you were on your toes enough to catch her.

Do you find it odd, then, that he so frequently responds to postings here on MAD? Or that he cherrypicks material from this board in order to use for his signature line?

Where are the scholars on this board?


The fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as a Ph.D. in Mormonism. All of us come to this subject as amateurs, in a sense.

Where are the keen insights to the history of religion and Mormonism? Where are the theological discussions? Where's the scholoarly stuff or at least reviews of scholarly articles? Shucks, where are the scholarly reviews of FARMS/FAIR articles?


Did you miss the discussion on juliann's misappropriation of scholarly sources relating to apostates? Or the thread about the legitimacy of peer review at FROB?

No, because I have no intention of making this board a place where Dr. Peterson would want to post. I'm not complaining about the quality of this place, so don't attribute that me. All I'm doing is coming up with possible reasons that Dr. Peterson doesn't want to waste his time posting here.

In other words you do not have the capacity to be that shining example, because you are just as depraved if not more so than you are accusing us of being.

Go back to Stepford, a.k.a. MA&D.

How about the Pundit's forum? How about when they talk about articles by FARMS and FAIR? Granted there's not much of it there, but there's more there than there is here.

I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm just trying to explain how others are likely to view us (yes, us. I'm pretty sure I'm not well liked among the faithful either).
