A "morose inebriate at a bar"? That hardly seems charitable: in fact, it's the kind of typical bullying insult that has been the hallmark of Peterson's online personality for decades. And is he (of all people) really in a position to complain about "repetitive obsessions"? Uh, let's see: How many times in the last month has "SeN" dealt with: 1) The Witnesses; 2) Near-Death Experiences; 3) Traveling and Eating; 4) The Interpreter Foundation; 5) The "Hitchens File." In fact, didn't someone--Billy Shears, perhaps--post a word cloud showing, as visual proof, just how obsessive and repetitive the Afore is?DCP wrote:noel, I don't mean to insult you but, umm, well, are you always sober when you post comments here? Seriously. I've begun to wonder. The comment above -- far and away not the first of its kind -- is weirdly stream-of-consciousness, the sort of thing that a morose inebriate at a bar might intone to nobody in particular. Assuming that you're under-the-influence and depressed actually makes sense, in my mind, of your constantly strange behavior here.
But it's gratifying, I'll admit, to see you mention Israel Finkelstein just a couple of days after I expressly identified him as one of your on-going repetitive obsessions.
But attacking Noel didn't seem to be enough. I guess the lushly warm ocean breezes of Maui were not enough to dowse the Mopologist Overlord's penchant for insult, because look at how he goes after Shulem:
Quite nasty, no? Does it rise to the cruelty of him torturing a cat via a "water-bombing," as reported by one of his co-travelers during a youthful excursion to Israel? (The same one where he mocked the Jewish wedding ceremony?) You will have to be the judge of that. But it seems quite remarkable that even vacationing seems to inspire rotten behavior in him.DCP wrote:Shulem is a piece of work. But he's a buffoon, and I don't take him seriously. In fact, I rarely read his posts and almost never open a thread that he's launched.
