Why is he surprised about being half culpable for an unpleasant exchange? Does he really lack any modicum of self awareness? He calls you Dumb Dude ffs. And Chung is Everybody W.C. in other words a toilet. He can generate unpleasant discourse in an empty room ffs.
Seriously, good point.

I suppose it’s meant to imply to his faithful readers that once their friends leave the church, they should expect them to become increasingly hostile and unhinged as Satan buries himself deeper in their heart. And all the noble Mormon can do is look on with pity.

The only person I can imagine from my life who would make me feel the way DCP does about this person is my ex wife. With Dan it’s probably a very long list.
He just can’t help being mean-spirited…
Housman was an agnostic, perhaps even an atheist, and sometimes a hostile one. (His homosexuality may have been at least a partial a motivation for that hostility.)

Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

“DCP” wrote:The poster calling himself "gemli" joined this board 4620 days ago. I shadow-banned him a year or so back.

He refused to read, refused to learn, refused to engage. He simply reiterated his atheistic position, slogan-style, over and over and over again.

The repetition simply grew too wearisome to be endured, and he seemed, frankly, to be sneering more than he once had. I had had enough.

He's commented a couple of times in the interim but has now posted three comments since late last night. He seems eager to return.

After months of absence, gemli has attempted to treat us to a reiteration of his creed.

How much effort should I expend to try to allow gemli to comment here again?
With any luck? Zero.

Dr. Peterson banned Gemli, and his Sic et Non had been duller for it ever since.
