You don't get a lot of interest in your real name then?

I know Pahoran's in real life.

I don't really care about his in real life.

However, I respect his wish to keep it private on MDB, and, as it is an established MDB rule, will support that privacy action as a Moderator.

I'm willing to bet that somewhere deep in your addled mind, you thought that was clever.

You can't give out that easy of a set up and not expect someone to capitalize on it, sorry.

Hello,

I voted no. I would recommend to the Moderators that anyone exposing anyone else's in real life be banned for life immediately. The point of this forum is Mormon Discussions, not let's “F” With People That Upset Me.

I don't like Mr. Pahoran, Mr. Simon, Mr. Englund, etc... But I'd never wish them ill in real life. This place ought to feel like a safe haven for discussions, not a risky proposition that could have in real life consequences for its participants.

I have no problems with people capitalizing on an opening. I'd just prefer it if it were actually clever/witty.

To each their own, I guess.

Oh please. You brag all the time about being an asshole, it fit perfectly. Please don't tell me you can't take a joke about yourself, that would just be sad.

Really? I brag all the time about being an asshole? Hmph. I was not aware of that. I am aware, however, that I can be an asshole when I want to be. It's not something I brag about, though, is it? If I've lacked humility for my asshole-ish ways, I apologize.

I would never tell you that I "can't take a joke about [my]self." Several people have made great jokes at my expense on this board, and I love it. But ya know... there has to be a joke there for me to take (when I say "joke" I mean something funny).

Well I found you unintentionally giving a spot on description of yourself while trying to insult Pahoran damned hilarious, I guess I'm just weird.

I just learned who he really is a few days ago (it's posted on another forum - I don't agree with that, but it is posted for all to see).

I really don't care WHO he is, but I do care WHAT he is and I think it's a disgrace that he's supposedly a good, worthy member of the church and an apologist who represents the church (or at least the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship). What he acts like and writes for the church is in such stark contrast to what he writes "in secret" and "anonymously" that he's obviously a HUGE hypocrite.
