Many others here would argue that Pahoran, Selek, Obiwan, and other "hit men" on MAD are also allowed to run loose, with double standards applied. I guess it's a case of "horses for courses".

As I explained on another thread in Off Topic, we try our best to handle these situations, but we can't be in all places at all times. I appreciate you using the report function and being patient.

And...Merc...come on...you've read the new rules. You know better. Be the adult I know you can be. Thanks.


I appreciate it. Thanks for being prompt.

While I agree that the moderation is tilted a little in the other direction on MAD, you can't compare what Merc does to what Pahoran does.

I disagree. I have seen Pahoran viciously attack people on FAIR/MAD when there was no need for him to do so.

It is true that he did not use the coarse language that Merc uses, but his words have been just as hurtful.

You take Mormon apologetics more seriously than it deserves. Personal attack comments edited by Liz.Image

When we call you out on it (sometimes in what you percieve as a childish matter) you squeal and squirm, wrapping the description into mealy mouthed logical fallacies and faith-based garbage.

Get one thing straight. My audience is those close to the fence and those far over it. You die hards are of no interest to me. What you are is a mirror I can hold my creative writing up to.

You are providing the means for entertainment.

People like Jason and Liz are good people trying to work out some tough issues. I cut them slack because they engage at a level I am familiar with. Unfortunately you arent really getting what the big picture is so its the Merc Lampoon for ya.

Too bad so sad, thanks for playing!

I'm not convinced that's the case, and I won't participate on a board where people like you are given carte blanche to abuse people with your ignorance and infantile attitude. Will this behavior be allowed to stand?


Using the report function was the right thing to do. As soon as I saw it reported, I jumped on it. I hadn't seen the post before.

Why don't I see a "report function"? Where is it? Am I looking right at it?

Merc, I've never seen anything particularly compelling, objective, or insightful come out of your mouth, and I'm happy you recognize we debate on different levels, but I'm just asking you to show some respect. I don't think that's too much to ask.
