They were drunk, allegedly, and only drunk people can understand what drunk people are saying.

Stem, I've been thinking about your attempts to 'remove hostility' from the boards posts and, for what it's worth, here's my considered view. The board has behaviour guidelines and as long as posters behave within these guidelines all is well. You appear to want to alter behaviour above and beyond t...

I absolutely, categorically do not want Stem, to go.

But I respect the fact that he has the personal freedom to choose his own actions and must stand by whatever he decides. I would not respect any attempt on his behalf to blame others for his departure if he so chooses.

At the risk of starting a firestorm, I'm going to state my disagreement with Stem here. I favored Proposition 8, and I don't apologize for it. When LDS leaders in our ward said they were looking for people to help promote Proposition 8 I offered my services , though apparently they had the help the...

Kevin, the difficulty with yours/stems position on the priesthood ban for blacks is that you have to be willing to accept that God allowed this mistake in His Church to go uncorrected for generations. He chose not to speak with subsequent Prophets to correct it. He allowed racism to continue unchec...

It has to be said that if the content of Mr Schryvers forthcoming and long promised article is anything like the content of his posts on MDD on the same subject he would be better off not publishing it. Whatever tattered shreds remain of his academic reputation they will surely be laid to waste unle...

Stem, pay a visit to MDD and read through the thread where Will is discussing the Book of Abraham. If you are honest you will see that the person displaying hostility towards fellow posters is in fact the same guy who you have lept to defend before he was attacked.

Sheesh, just me, can't you let things go, I say knowing full well my own vice on this front? I've clarified time and again and you keep attributing a notion to me I did not suggest. "What you seem to be saying here, by the way, is that her reaction was not an overreaction but that she was reac...
