I clicked no the link, but I didn't see anyone calling Steve out or him "getting his panties in a wad." I guess this took place entirely on RfM, then? If so, what's the name of the thread so I can hunt it down? Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. No panties. No wad. It was just the cha...

I apologize for breaching a board rule. I had forgotten the entire rule until GP brought it to mind and even then I thought it was OK to discuss a PM as long as you didn't repost it in a forum. I wanted to thank GP for his civil response. It's always good to see another side to an issue. I am sorry ...

[BEHIND-THE-SCENES MATERIAL DELETED] I admit to being tech-impaired but even I can manage to send a PM via PM and post a post by posting. I wasn't trying to "shame" [NAME DELETED] . If [IDENTIFYING MATERIAL DELETED] had the capacity to feel shame I doubt he would have sent the message he ...

We share similar reactions to Steve Benson's posts that give information and background from his unique Mormon experience. I've read comments from countless people who say that...

Sigh, this is pathetic.

Well, we agree there Mercury. So many more enlightening things to do today than spar with you. You must wilfully misunderstand what is said. What other explanation could there be for so consistently misunderstanding such simple statements?

I'm done here.

Also, Merc, about "showing up" whenever a certain topic is mentioned - many posters do that. Many lurk more than they post but chime in when a topic pops up that relates to their specific area of interest. Mention "Mesoamerica" and you can bet a bundle that beastie will likely &q...

Meanwhile, I don't care what you, Mercury, or anyone else thinks of Steve Benson but I like to see that at least the criticism is valid and not all these mischaracterizations, inaccuracies and even lies. You'd think exmos would value accuracy and truth. Trolls? Not so much. Well Duh! Of course you ...

How come any "anon" is free to outline their bad experience in Mormonism and they are believed by fellow exxies and offered friendly conversation and support but if your name is Benson you're a life-size target for all sides? Because he makes himself a life-size target. Sheesh. I'm not su...
