But if you doubt that this is the real Dan Peterson, simply drop a note to me via my e-mail address (which is, I think, accessible via the BYU website).

My answers here are terse because I have no intention of getting bogged down in an endless cycle of posts here. I simply want to correct false statements made about me, and be done with it. Those who insist that I'm a liar will, no doubt, continue to believe that I'm a liar. Those who aren't so sure will at least have heard what I myself have to say.


Are you a liar? Was Nibley a liar? I believe so. When one takes excruciating measures to create revisionist history, betray others confidence and go out of ones way to defend the indefensible you then become a liar.

Maybe that's why no one in your field actually knows your name.

Tell me douchebag, do you believe that tapirs can be used as horses?

You sound like a little fightened kid using big threatening words to scare someone off rather than seriously engaging them.

MDBites, ponder why there'll never be serious high profile posters here for very long.

I'm still waiting for one to show up at all... unless you're talking about exmos.

I don't know, but after reading your posts for some months now, I'm now actually ready to believe that a chimp, tapping randomly on a keyboard, if actually given enough time, could indeed, write and send posts to a message board.

This is also why the high profile posters, the serious academic and amaterur LDS intellectuals, all left ZLMB probably three years ago.

Some years ago, that place actually used to be quite stimulating.

Hi Daniel Peterson,
Welcome to this Great Discussion Forum!
Have you had any luck yet in trying to find the 'missing papyrus text' from which Joseph Smith really 'translated' the Book of Abraham from?
Thanks!

Wow, if im so wrong then it would be easy to kick me in the nuts. I clean your clock every time we butt heads, with you running off with your tail between your legs. Do you avtually believe peterson will stick around out in the wide world of actual debate? No, he will not. His visit is short unfortunately. I WANT him to stay and actually debate but sadly I do not see him actually engaging anyone here.

So Doc, prove me wrong.

Perhaps they should try that with the next round of presidential debates.

Obama can call hillary a d-bag
Hillary can call obama a n#gger
