DCP posting personal information of Cody Temple critics

The truly hilarious thing is to watch the video DCP links to, that shows the temple is on the edge of town and really not the eyesore one would imagine based on the dramatic opposition to it.

OMG! The proposed temple site is right in the middle of town! Good Lord! Does DCP ever tell the truth?

[Gadianton]

This is classic Mopologetics and vintage DCP: it has nothing to do with actual issues or politics, and instead it’s about punishing people personally. Think about it: what’s the end goal here? To get the temple built? To persuade the people of Cody that the temple is okay and won’t be an eyesore? Is it to discuss the vagaries of the Cody zoning laws, or to explain the LDS history of oppression so that folks might understand some of the embittered reactions to all of this?

No: instead it’s about targeting a couple of individuals in the hopes of….what, embarrassing them? Mocking them or making them look stupid? Hoping that part of the more unhinged readership of SeN will start a campaign of harassment?

I think Marcus was right to highlight DCP’s comment about getting banned, since it strongly suggests that his current actions are motivated by revenge and vindictiveness. It’s not about “issues” or “ideas” or “defending the Church.” It’s about trying to exact revenge.

yeah this is really interesting given he doesn't know any of these people and has no connection to the area. Is this even one of the places he's vacationed?

Given the Church's lawyers and PR department are all over it, there's nothing for him to do, and as far as social commentary, it's a tiny town in Wyoming, it just doesn't feel like an issue a normal person would get spun up over. If it were San Diego and there were people with money and power sticking it to the Church and in opposition to a visible bunch of Saints who were pushing for it, I'd at least understand why he wants to comment. It's a small town being a small town, move on.

That’s an interesting point that I hadn’t considered: maybe this is all a means of brown-nosing for the Brethren? He just said that he is trying to drum up money for his anti-Community of Christ movie, and we know that the Church funnels money back to Interpreter. Maybe this is a public display of loyalty?

Well, someone could go over there and ask him why he singled out those two individuals. If I’m right about his motivation, he won’t answer—instead he’ll deflect and say, “I didn’t do anything wrong! I merely reposted why they themselves wrote!” Of course, that doesn’t answer the question of why *he* did what he did, but that’s Mopologetics for you.

It's sad but psychologically fascinating to watch DCP's actions be guided by what he thinks will earn him brownie points from the Brethren. This is a grown man, near the end of his life, who has largely lived by what he thinks will help get him attention and a prestigious calling from the Brethren. Tragic.

DCP really is the Willy Loman of Mopology. I guess if there is anything positive to say about DCP's life, it would be that it can stand as a warning to others about the folly of pride, anger and delusion.

Here, by the way, is the most recent anonymous personal note that I've received from just one of them. It's the 2,322nd from him alone. It arrived three hours ago:

dowsin dan flimflam man luv ta play victim cuz ya know a dozen
fvcks cluck. the phd packin woowoo spew crank need his creepy.
liv it up ya mealy mouth shifty shifter propaganda pimpin loser lyin .
poor pathetic pampered persecuted preening dumpling.

It's a quite typical specimen of his work. I fished this one out for your edification, but they typically go straight into a special file just for him, where I've been accumulating his messages for the last eleven years and a month. (How many of them I've missed, I can't say.) I don't think that my grandkids -- whom he sometimes mentions in his notes -- really need to become objects of his attention. Do you?.

I really don’t believe the story when Dan mentions these emails. It doesn’t pass the smell test, at all.

I don't believe DCP for a second. If you ask me why I think he is lying, I can give you public example, after public example of DCP's lies, plagiarism, dishonest and unethical behavior.

It's not an exaggeration to say that DCP seldom, if ever, tells the truth. Well, at least DCP has a cool fake accent from his mission to fall back on.....

Why is Cody, Wyoming getting a temple before Wendover, Nevada anyway?

DS: "Might I suggest your obsession with these emails is bordering on the unhealthy."

What "obsession"?

They go directly into their own file. I seldom even read them. And the computer itself automatically does the counting.

DS: "There's obviously deep-seeded reasons you continue to mention them on your posts here at Sic et Non and on podcasts and on radio shows."

When was the last time that I mentioned them here, DS? Several months ago, at least. And I suppose that I should be gratified that you pay such unhealthy and obsessive attention to my podcasts and radio shows, but can you please remind me of the last couple of times that these anonymous hate mail messages were an important topic on any of those radio shows or podcasts?

DS: "You should just block them. It would take just a few seconds to never have to see them again."

I scarcely ever see them now. But I'll have a large file of them ready for the police or any legal proceedings, when and if the occasion warrants it. And, in the meantime, I would rather be aware of what this secretive loon is up to.

It's fun to see you try to turn even these nearly 2500 piece of anonymous hate mail into grounds for criticizing me: You're dedicated. I'll give you that.

Daniel’s numbers don’t add up. See the history here:

viewtopic.php?t=156274

2021: the emailer has sent 600 emails in 9 years
2022: the emailer has sent 800 emails in 10 years
2023: the emailer has now sent 2300 (or is it nearly 2500?) emails in 11 years

Dan, your dumb little story doesn’t pass the smell test.

I really don't understand the big deal about looking up information that is public. That said, Dr. Peterson has complained several times that there is an individual who looked up one of his son's publicly available Amazon.com information. It does seem a little hypocritical of Dr. Peterson to complain about his son's publicly available Amazon information, but defend his actions for doing. in essence, the same thing.

An interesting comparison.
