Rollo Tomasi finds my alleged villainy in the case of GoodK simply irresistible. He can never resist weighing repetitively in. It's one of this very favorite topics in the whole wide world.

Don't take away his fun, harmony. Please. It's Christmas.

Just abhorrent. And your utter lack of remorse makes it even worse.

See?

He can keep this going forever.

It's far better than most Christmas toys, which lose their fascination within the first few hours.

I brought up the issue because of this sanctimonious and judgmental statement you made to harmony:
Bishop Dan wrote:I'm assuming, hoping, that you are not so harsh and uncharitable in your off-line interactions with family, friends, and neighbors.

I pointed out the obvious: you are just as harsh and uncharitable in your off-line interactions (such as with GoodK's father) as you are here. Truth hurts, eh?

How about my suggestion that you schedule an appointment with one of the Brethren. It might be therapeutic. I seriously doubt you'll get disfellowshipped or ex'd. If you give me permission, and identify the Apostle you would most like to talk to, I will make the appointment.

Just give me his name.
And several available dates you're available to meet.

Bing Bang Boom, You're in like flynn to discuss your contempt until your hearts content. (sorry for the rhyming.)

'Tis an epic tale:

"Sing, goddess, the malice of Peter's son Daniel and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the tribe of GoodK."

"The GoodK clan was as the garden of Eden before him, and behind him a desolate wilderness."

I think I hear the sound of one hand clapping.

Thanks for illustrating your utter lack of remorse. Get help, Dan.

I'm nowhere near Utah, Lamanite. What makes you think you can set up an appointment with an apostle?

Are you saying Daniel emulates the Brethren? Because at least he's here. He may not hear what is said, nor give it any thought, but at least he's here, in the trenches, with the rank and file. That's more than can be said for the Brethren.

Happy to be of service.

Here are some other things for which I feel no remorse: the sinking of Atlantis, the transformation of Daphne into a laurel tree, the tragic story of of Pyramis and Thisbe, the death of Baldur, the murder of Osiris, and the Götterdämmerung.
