Some seem to find it amusing, perhaps even slightly interesting.

If you don't, don't read about it.  I don't read most threads here.  And I don't complain about them, either.  Never have.

Or, alternatively, have this thread and/or my other threads that bother you shut down, or get me banned.

I really don't care much.  Your call.  I seldom post here or pay attention here any more, so perhaps trying to ban me would be your best step; it wouldn't seriously trouble me if you did.

Who gets away with (or even cares) reporting on personal matters on this forum as much as Dan?

Dr. Peterson's content to comment ratio is excellent compared to most posters.
This is a Mormon dialogue and discussion board, not a misrepresent, demonize and debate board.  Please learn the difference before posting.

I care.  There is a growing group of people who take this scratch guy seriously.  I mean its idiotic to do so, but I care.  I don't think it healthy at all.  i don't find it useful for anyone.  And I think it can be destructive if it continues to grown and fester.

Let's compare:

More baskets vs. one more asinine website

I'd take the baskets.
I nominate this for post of the month!

(1) Honest.  (2) Well-informed.  (3) Denying that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been a Christian institution without interruption from the beginning of its history.

A critic may choose any two of the above three.  Choose wisely.

I'm wondering how his obsession will affect him in the next life, when it will be harder for him to stalk Dr. Dan.
That may well be a definition for hell: eternally unsatisfied and ineffectual malevolence.
To whom it may concern: If you feel inclined to do anything for or in behalf of me after I die -- or even while I'm living, for that matter -- that is comparable in intent to Mormon vicarious baptisms or other ordinances for the dead, feel free. I would even regard it as a magnanimous gesture.  I would appreciate the thought in any case.
Nobody gives you all the facts all at once, leastwise anti-Mormons and hostile critics. If selective focus or emphasis amounts to deceit, they are the worst of offenders.
If I detest anything as virulently as anti-Mormons obviously detest Mormonism, feel free to label me as "anti-" the thing I detest. I won't mind in the least.
An author who undertakes to criticize publicly another's religious faith and practice has the obligation, in the first instance, to understand it.
... and the anti-Mormon saith unto them: I am no anti-Mormon, for there is none — and thus he whispereth in their ears.
