This thread isn't about me. You're all weepy about my tactics here when, indeed, I'm one of the very few so-called apologists willing to wade in here and point out the intense foolishness of some of the posters here.

No, this thread is about Kevin Graham, the hater of all things Islam, the arch right-wing hater of all things good and civil, one who would trammel the civil rights of the oppressed.

The declarer of lies.

The blasphemer, the mocker, the evil one. The fool.

How's that for hyperbole.


If you make a disingenuous statement, I am going to call you on it. You do the same to me and to others here. That's the beauty of free speech. ;-)

My sainted mother, may she rest in peace, really smarted over you calling her a dog and suggesting she wasn't married when I was born.

Give me a break, Yahoo Bot. How many times do I have to apologize? I apologized, yet again, earlier in this thread.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Here is a classic case of where you have stated that you accepted my apology, and yet you keep bringing this up. It is the same thing with Beastie's comment. Also, you have inflated both of our comments to being more than they actually were. You're still pushing buttons. It's sad that you can't, or won't, acknowledge that.

Yet another false belief in monolithic behavior.
Not really. Unless you are just referring to a subset of the online apologist community, in which case I am asserting a relative monoculture when it comes to internal criticism. You know, like you find on CARM or at Age of Autism. And I do think that derives from a broader, pervasive attitude towards insiders and outsiders, but I am in no way suggesting a monolith.

My offense here? Using a red font. Now THERE's a justification for banning. With all the condemnation here for MAD's moderation, I get banned for red font?? My goodness, free speech has its limits, doesn't it. Can't yell fire in a theater and can't use red font on an anti-Mormon board.

You were suspended because you were intentionally attempting to falsify moderator edits in your posts, thus making it seem like the moderators were behaving inappropriately. And, for what it is worth, I advocated to simply edit your posts to point out that your fake mod notes were fake. But because you persistently flaunted the request to stop, you received a temp suspension from Liz. Which is what you wanted, of course, so you could write a misleading post like this here.

She and you taketh with one hand and giveth with the other. Now, THAT's disingenuous.

Ahh-- Beastie's comment about my wife and kids and my sex life. Brings back fond memories needling her over that -- the long running "Rrocket's Libel" thread where my point was made post after post. The point being, and it applies to you: Don't be in the business of deriding the lack of civility among apologists when the both of you are willing to use the nastiest of terms and tactics to abuse others. Now, THAT's disingenuous.

You'd think he'd lie about this to other people when the mods involved aren't obviously right there in the same thread. If he's trying to tweak us, that's a rather poor effort.

Try CARM.

The Utah Lighthouse Message Board was also notoriously bad (and the whole reason ZLMB was created in the first place).

I was kidding, for what it's worth. I've been to carm.

And, yet, that is EXACTLY what he is trying to do. That is Bot's MO.

You are completely missing my point. My guess is that it is deliberate. And, since I have other things to do today, this will be my last comment on the matter.

My point, Bot, in case you genuinely as opposed to disingenuously missed it, is that BOTH sides have been abusive.

Well actually, it was her point that was made.

Which was that she had apologized to you promptly for one post in which she said you were such an unpleasant person that she thought your wife must have been reluctant to have sex with you in order to conceive your children, and that you were telling a lot of flat-out untruths about her 'stalking' your family.

And to everyone except you, that point became exceedingly clear.

Tell the bot - pologist to “F” off. He keeps bringing up the same crap just to get a rise from you. He is an asshole.

Always good to call a spade a spade, like my grandmother taught me. Don't play into the jerk's game once again, for the life of me. I can see him laughing behind the keyboard every time he pulls this crap.
