Re: Hi! Welcome To Troll ChatBot....
Oh my. Has someone been reading here? Or is this phenomenon just that commmon? Have you ever been in an online community where you trying to discuss information that you are deeply invested in and then someone, seemingly out of nowhere, begins to deliberately sow discord among the group? The intenti...

Re: Hi! Welcome To Troll ChatBot....
An excellent reddit comment that sums up some current trolling. Online commenting is like a window into a person's real self. They're not polishing up what they say out of concern that somebody they actually know would find out and judge them or cut them out of their life for it. So when you see som...

Re: RFM on Kamp in Court
Wow. The judge ruled in Dehlin's favor, citing Jenn Kamp's blatant abuse of the legal system. The case is over, and all that is left is for the court to determine how much money Jenn (and her husband) owe John Dehlin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpkWhC3XZ3c This is surely what would have happen...

Re: What happens to the Honest Mormon?
I read somewhere it was an Area authority who said this. Rasband, I think? So Elder Rasband instructed the stake presidents in the McKinney Temple area to push this lie about the steeple height being a sacred obligation for the Saints? That steeple height claim sounds like something I would come up...

Re: What happens to the Honest Mormon?
The stakes near the proposed McKinney Temple in Texas were instructed to mention how the height of the temple steeple was essential to the LDS faith at the city planning and zoning meeting. I suspect the Church was trying to push this lie so the steeple height would be less of a stumbling block. Th...

Re: Physics Society.
As far as teaching goes, technically I can teach whatever I want. I'm required to offer what amounts to one course each semester, but I have Lehrfreiheit —the freedom to decide for myself exactly what it is that I'll teach. What a blessing that is! I've created a couple of courses for my university...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory
[...] Jorgensen offers up a number of reasons why "none of the accounts that record the miracle [were] written on the day of the manifestation or shortly thereafter." Readers will need to decide whether any of them are convincing. [...] As always, Tom, you remind me why I rush to read any time I've...

Re: Hi! Welcome To Troll ChatBot....
The Phoenix Suns is an NBA team, the current home of a pair of players whose careers I have followed for years: Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. There is a forum dedicated to this team, and to no one's surprise, trolling happens there also. This comment explains: I've been posting on Suns' forums sinc...
