Could be. My scoutmaster when I was growing up was what you might call a Nazi Mormon. My mom tells me that a few years ago he was on an LDS chat or message board and ended up leaving his wife for a woman he met online. So, stranger things have happened.
My predictions for this thread we're watching (it's at 17 pages right now..)
1) Legend gets banned or suspended
2) DCP or Juliann gets the last word right before a mod shuts it down
3) We won't ever get the time back we wasted reading it. Oh well.... :)

and don't forget:
4) This won't be the last time Peterson starts a "Woe is me - I'm so persecuted and/or critics are so stoopid" thread
ps - so as to avoid a mention on the spelling lesson of the day, "stoopid" is intentionally spelled that way; I think it looks stupider like that.
Didn't Dr. Peterson recently announce that he wouldn't post there anymore? How long did that last? Two weeks? Three?
It lasted about 3 weeks. by the way: Saying one thing and then doing another...isn't that lying?

Abulafia is trying to bring some reason to the thread--but I'm sure everyone's too worked up to pay attention to what she's saying.
I don't know how she puts up with it over there. She's been uniformly kind and polite, and she gets trashed repeatedly.
Me either. She's been very polite on that thread while getting her ass chewed by the TBM's.

No, I believe that's called playing with semantics.
I'm sorry - you can't make that argument since you post under a pseudonym. At least James is using his real name, so he can say whatever he wants and because he uses his real name, it's true and irrefutable.
:o)

The only reason I posted is because I saw Chaos was on the thread, and I thought for sure it was about to be closed... guess I scared him back into his hole. So I guess this means six more weeks of winter.
