1. When you accused me of making up Nemo's idea.
95%+ of the statements of fact you portend to type are nothing more than things you made up, presumably for comedic effect (that falls flat an equal percentage of the time). So I can be forgiven for assuming you were making things up yet again, especially considering that you didn’t post a link to any source.
2. When you asked, "What in the living Hell are you going on about??"
95%+ of your posts are a hodgepodge mashup of unrelated themes and/or time periods, presumably for comedic effect (that falls flat an equal percentage of the time), so I can be forgiven for assuming that you were posting nonsensically again.
Wow. It is interesting that after years of you commenting positively on the bird's posting style, you suddenly bring out this brutally savage attack.

Yes. I have developed a great deal of respect for Shades' free speech ethos and so I was surprised by his interaction.

Sorry, I can see how that was maybe not clear, but I intended that question to be for Shades. But I appreciate your response, thank you.

??? Do you have me confused with Philo Sofee? ‘Cause never—not once—have I ever commented positively on the bird’s posting style.

Do you ever think to yourself that a little levity might make this place, during times of intense venom spewing, a bit more bearable? It helps me cope with the heaviness of many discussions.

Anyway, take a look at the title of this thread. It seems to lend itself to a lighthearted approach. Let me be nonsensical and I can forgive a ton of Aspergerian ridicule.
Well, I appreciate your humor, Moksha. I hope you don’t change a thing.

Me too.

I read a book once and it turns out there is more than one way to be funny. Not everyone appreciates all types of humor; life goes on, somehow.

Fun, and I’m glad some posters enjoy his humor. And since you enjoy his humor, I take it then you understand his humor. Would you be good enough to explain why this:

Do you think Smac might define his courtroom style? Some names sound fun like Tacenda or relaxing like StarGazer. Or well chosen like Juliann's moderator handle Echidna.
is funny?
Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

This sounds too much like a DA's argument of insidious intent and it is the third time you've posted it. Seems too trivial to obsess over. Are you feeling feisty and desire someone to pick on? Come on over to NOM and you can scrap with Binger posting as Mayan Elephant and he even has a sock puppet. Otherwise, it spoils my enjoyment to have a board assassin. Pahoran used to follow me around on the old FAIR board and it was most unpleasant.
