The amount of sleuthing required to access your "Wish List" involves no more than having a look at your amazon.com profile (which is public, by the way).

When did that happen? I've authored three "mopologetic works". Two were published by FARMS and the third was never submitted to FARMS.

No, I just don't like Will's posts. No I don't. Not at all.

But I can list on five hands all sorts of faithful Mormons who don't like my posts, so no big deal what I think.

Geez Bob, your "gone, goodbye" is taking longer than a horny RM dropping of his date.

I read Yahoo Bot's post to mean that he saw William as neither "Christian" nor "decent," or that he has no place among the people of God. And if I did read him right, that's really his soteriological/theological call to make.

I didn't see it as a call for the termination of his civil rights or anything like that because I don't view the U. S. at large as a theocracy or a "Christian society," even if some Christians choose to describe it that way.

And for the record, Amazon Wish Lists can be public or private; the user controls the settings. Many people make them public so that friends and relatives can buy them books off their wish list if they need a gift idea. It's what I do.

1) I don't see a coherent monolithic culture here.

2) It's a great message board that has withstood the test of time and Dr. Shades should be quite proud.

3) In a free speech zone there will be things said that others find objectionable. Opinions will vary on matters of taste and the limits of propriety. No surprise.

4) Nemesis is being quite unfair.

You know, it occurs to me to wonder why anyone should give a rat's what someone like Nemesis thinks of this board. Anyone? Anyone?

Why do people imagine that they have some right to not be offended, anyway?

Perhaps Nemesis skipped Bednar's talk on choosing not to be offended.
