I'd be really curious how LDS leaders of the 80's reacted to bands like Slayer. I'm assuming Slayer would scare the crap out of them, even though their whole schtick is a joke.

How I can judge that there is chronic anger and bitterness here? I can read English. Yeah, I'm not so positive of that. How do you judge the chronic anger and bitterness of the places you asked me about, which you've never even visited? I don't. I wouldn't call DCP Liz, Scratch or any of the other ...

You just skipped over the part about chronic anger and bitterness. What goes on here is way beyond sniping, and the myths created here are repeated as facts elsewhere. How tame it is is another matter. Even tame racist jokes are to be opposed, to take an example people might understand more easily....

I guess where we differ is what we see as attempts to destroy reputations, and willful distortions. Obviously, you see nefarious motives in some of the posters here.

I'm just pretending not to care about this board, but the REAL TRUTH is that you're rocking my preconceptions and reality so hard that I have no choice but to put up a false front and act like it doesn't bother me? Is that what you're kinda-sorta passive aggressively getting at, my ...

Maybe it's just a lack of interest in the subject matter. I'm sure it makes you feel better about yourself to say it's a defense mechanism though.
