Its OK Monleys. Nephi seems to bring it up more often than I do. Course, I guess that's the point.

Congrats Merc, you won. You (and others) insulted me enough in quantity and quality to make me lose my temper and start trading insults. Most people can't do that.
No, all we did was expose your true character. It does not matter, as in the end you will retreat to the fantasy world you borrow from Mormonism.
I hope it's not my true character. I'm hoping it's an animalistic defense mechanism that kicked in. If it is a part of who I am then that part of me needs to die. I don't think that is going to happen here. I apologize to anyone who I offended here tonight. A bad day coupled with bad news coupled with mean posts just drove me to lash out.
Liz, you didn't deserve what I said.
Merc, I shouldn't have used your past against you, sorry.
I think I'm going to permanently leave these boards. I thought I had a cool enough mind to deal with some of the people here. I was arrogant and wrong to think it wouldn't bite me one day. Thanks to all those who were kind here and to those with whom I had real dialogue. Best of luck to you all.
I'll watch this thread for a bit but then I'm gone.

Everybody kiss and make up.
I'll go first.
*on the cheek*
Thanks, but I just don't like the person I've become lately when I'm on here. Thanks for caring but I think the boards will operate much more smoothly without me. I'm really not an apologist in any real sense and I find myself defending issues I don't know enough about. I mostly showed up to crack one-liners but the lack of LDS here made me want to dive into the breach to protect what I love. That was unwise.

Well I understand that! I do! Just take a breather and come back in a few days... I've done it too. Get some perspective. Hope you don't stay away for good.

You're a caricature of an angry adult who can't get over his abusive childhood and has somehow transferred his mommy issues to the religion his parents held. Let's just call it even.
What the hell is your problem, Nehor? Wade's not here, so you're taking over the role of board jack-ass?

Uhhhh.... and PP and Merc and the empitome of kindness and repsectful dialogue? How about some even disdain for their antics Ms Kimberly Ann.

If merc gets snotty and nasty as well as personal, which he often does then I think this is fair game.
