I realised that when you made the comments about DCP, which was why I apologised for misunderstanding. It was really inept on my part. It is commentary, and it could be commentary in one thread, that I have attacked or criticised. Which is why I said personal correspondence is always more profitable. Emotions, on both sides, get carried away on open forums, and we say things that we would not say in one-to-one correspondence. Such is the nature of the beast.

I know, and I appreciated your apology. I don't recall ever saying anything unkind about Dr. Peterson, unless my opining that, yes, he did gossip is somehow malicious.

It appears the baptists are indeed reaching out to the Mormon community : )

You are right. To avoid sarcasm and ridicule lets cut Mormons out of the process.

It'd be easier just to cut jerks out of the process which means some Mormons and a lot of other people.

Some of the biggest assholes I know are Mormon. Disproportionately so.
