The bias is so thick in some of the statements on this thread, you couldn't cut through it with the jaws of life if you wanted to.

To be fair, it could be no one speculated that because, as far as I know, it never happened. Not really an equivalent situation, is it?

I'm glad you didn't let that poster intimidate you. Are you serious that the end result of that incident was a bitter end involving that poster and the total destruction of that board?

Damn girl, you better watch where you aim those superhero powers of yours! I'm a little scared now. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a question wrote:
Jersey Girl wrote:I also want to mention the fact that bcspace didn't limit his participation to religious topics. He also posted in Old Testament and engaged in political discussions, so you guys will have to forgive me if think that your snickering is a little unwarranted.

Talk about tunnel vision.
:rolleyes:


Sorry mum.


Maybe you guys should try to avoid dealing in revisionist history. bcspace, whether you care for his online personality and methods or not, was a pretty strong LDS poster here. How some of you guys can ignore the underhanded crap that sometimes happens on a board like this is beyond me.

Probably because no one has done it to you.

Well, years ago it was done to me and the gloating I see here on the thread, disgusts me. It's been done to various TBM's /NOM's here over the years, with the possible exception of the first version of this board when everyone was so damn happy have this board.

My guess is that the TBM's/NOM's aren't going to handle things the same way that I did years ago. Me, I tend to dig in my heels.

bcpace has been a regular feature on this board and others. When a board loses it's opposition, it loses it's edge.

Tennis is no fun with only one player. I miss BC. He was almost always a gentleman in his posts and spurred some great conversations (not to mention a great subject for cartoons).
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Exactly so.

Consider what we're left with.

I do not know anything underhanded that happened to bcspace on this board. If you know of anything specific, please say what it was.

I engaged with bcspace on many occasions during the time he posted here. My impression is that he was an intelligent and dedicated LDS controversialist, who felt that the LDS church was so much in the right that pretty well anything he did that ended up with his claiming to be on the winning side was OK.

Basically, he could cope with any number of non-mormons or ex-mormons arguing with him; if they appeared to have won on any given point, he went away for a while and came back later to have another go with the same arguments (we must have been round the point about the date of arrival of humans in Australia being inconsistent with his 'pre-Adamites' theory at least three times.) He was coated overall in finest teflon, and proud of it.

However, so far as I recall his final departure came not long after the CoJCoLDS published the essays - which made several of his favored positions no longer tenable. In a way, I miss him. But it seems that the ecology of Mopologetics no longer has a favorable niche for his species.

But what can you do? He came here to argue, others argued back, the church cut the ground from under him, and in the end he realized he couldn't win. So he left. What were his opponents supposed to do? Not answer him? But if they did answer him, and knew what they were about, his end was inevitable.

I believe I remember someone posting photos and his in real life from his Facebook page (bad form). The cartoons I posted were not a true rendition of his likeness.

I don't recall that myself - though that does not mean it did not happen.

Was that on Terrestrial (I rarely look anywhere else)?

Did that happen shortly before his departure, or did he continue to post thereafter?
