Amen, Moksha my dear. I kind of hope Loran will follow him over there, if he isn't king of the hill over there already. I think we've had enough of tweedle-dick and tweedle-dumbass for a while.
GIMR, if all defenders of the Church were to flee, then this board would become much like the View from the Foyer, with VegasRefugee taking on the part of Scottishboy. Posting would be much more sporadic - sort of like understand's or Kevin's boards.
Yeah, I guess. But you're a defender. Rollo is too, there are active LDS here who aren't as crazy as Wade and Loran. But your imagery is funny, LOL.

I find it fascination, though, that the respective theories focus, ironically, on ME, as though my actions are about ME, rather than about YOU. Yet, were you to look carefully at my posts, they, for the most part, are not about ME, but about YOU--though many of YOUR posts are about me. In other words, the evidence doesn't fit your respective theories. As such, you are left to self-delusionally speculate and imagine your respective theories are correct in spite of the evidence to the contrary. And, that, ironically as well, is because you don't want this to be about YOU. There are few things you fear more than the light shining on the real YOU (or more correctly your irrationally low sense of self)
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
Actually Wade, a close perusal of your posts shows a somewhat narcisstic fascination with yourself. Your theories about us. Your sacred beliefs. Your church. Your your your your your... endlessly your posts are only concerned with you. Ego-centric individuals such as yourself can be readily found on MAD. You're a good match for them, you non-banning notwithstanding.
Wade and his church, himself, his way....

Personally, I think EVERYONE'S posts are about themselves.
I think it was Soctrates who stated something to the effect that, that which is written is more a reflection of the writer than what is written. I find it rather true.
However, Wade uses us as a distorted mirror to look into and admire himself. By telling us lies about ourselves, our supposed problems, and our supposed hatred of the church, he can look at himself and take emtpy comfort from "not being like that".
And I was just thinking, if Wade was never really banned, then why did he go off on me in the infancy of my time here, claiming I got him banned?
The fact of the matter is that MA&D needs all the ass-kissers they can get over there, because they kicked 90% of the people with intelligence out. They need folks like Wade to make them feel better about the dichotomy they have over there, a debate board with no debate.

Too bad you couldn't post the photo I know you were dying to...Angela Davis sitting in a pit of flames, perhaps?
Um, the photo is really whacked, is that the best you could do? I'm really beginning to think you are a pre-pubescent troll hell bent on making sure no one takes his fundamentalist rattle away from him. I often wish you'd go suck your big toe or whatever appendage appeals to you that day elsewhere. :-)
Don't worry Loran, I've been preparing for hell for years. My grandma always used to tell me I was going there.
I went out today and bought extra metal skewers to toast marshmallows with, so I could share with you.
Don't think you're gonna escape.

Mister Scratch wrote: Thanks for clearing this up, Wade. But something is amiss in your story. I clearly saw, when reading your old posts, that you were listed as "banned." Did I misread the postings? Or have the moderators been pulling your leg? Moreover, if you were never banned, this proves what I said earlier: your lectures to everyone about people other than critics being banned has turned out to be a total crock. If you were told, six months ago, that you weren't technically "banned," then your comments to Kevin and myself over on MTT were dishonest. You misrepresented yourself, Wade. Not very nice.
I held out no hope that you would correctly understand things. And, so, I wasn't disappointed when you didn't (actually, it fully expected and quite predictable). I am fine with leaving you with your misperceptions, particularly since your mind is closed to change anyway. You, like many of your fellow teeth-gnashers, need to view the opposition as a crock and dishonest. It is your dillusional way of protecting your unwittingly dysfunctional self-perception. Again, enjoy the fog.
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
But you *were* dishonest, Wade! Why not set a good example by apologizing? Do you want to try and explain how what you did was perfectly kosher, out in the open, and straightforward?
I don't need to explain it to the reasonable and open minded because they would already understand that there wasn't the least bit of dishonesty or crockery, obviously. And, it doesn't do any good to explain it to the unreasonable and closed minded for reasons already explained.
But, I don't expect you and others here to understand.

I agree that we may reveal much about ourselves in what we write--though I wouldn't go so far as to say it is "more a reflection of the writer than what is written". But, Socrates apparently distinguished between the reflection and what is written. The discussion thus far (at least my part in it) has been about the latter, not the former. What I have written has, for the most part, been about others, whereas, ironically, what they have written to me has, for the most part, been about me--as the posts specifically to me on this thread invariably demonstrate.

Well duh - this thread is about you.
