Recent posts by Beastie, Eillusion, and others suggest that there continues to be an undercurrent of long-held disdain and/or resentment felt towards me.

And, since many here believe venting is a viable road to health and recovery, I thought I would start a thread where those so inclined can empty whatever bial is in their soul, and get any ill-feelings towards me out of their system.

Feel free to invite RFMers and people from other ex-mo boards who I may have offended, repelled, and/or engendered ill-sentiments. Let's make this the mother of all smear-fests, with me as the object of derision.

If you wish, you can recount whatever you believe to be the worst things you have observed me doing or saying, or the most evident things you believe are wrong with me and what I have done on boards like this. You can even invent stuff if that suits your fancy. From that we can construct a Top Ten list.

What say we cut the monster that is me down to size. Don't hold back (as if I need to teel you). ;-)

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

There's nothing wrong with you that a good woman wouldn't cure.

Can we make it a 'What's right with Wade' thread?
...then people won't have to 'wade' through too many pages :)

Only joking!

I think they ran out of those.

You remind me of a couple of posters I have met through the years.

You love conflict. The more personal it is, the better. You love getting into a heated argument for what appears to be a sheer pleasure in "making up" afterwards. It's all drama drama and it gives me the willies. I always suspect it is a lonely person on the other side of the computer screen, dying for human interaction to the point you will manufacture what drama you can so you can feel emotional highs and lows. It almost feels like I am an unwitting pawn in some kind of strange mental/emotional masturbation.

Josh Skains is the same way. For those who are familiar with Ed/Noa, he is also the same way. Your style is a bit different, but I think the end result is the same. The farther you can dig under someone else's skin, the greater the high you feel.

You asked. I answer. I will almost always refrain from these type of entanglements for fear of getting sticky.

write simple sentences like you read in a newspaper.

Ah, the good ol' days, when Ed was threatening my life and SP Dot was trying to get me excommunicated. *sniff* How I miss them both!

I like your posts, Wade.

I actually think that your posts have improved since I first "met" you a couple of years ago. ;)

One thing that I would suggest is to lighten up a little bit about feeling that every conversation (on this board, at any rate) has to provide some type of purpose.

Sometimes, people just like talk about things. An example of this was when you were criticizing Harmony about her thread regarding BYU and tithing. Her intent in posting the thread was not to make some monumental change. She just wanted to talk about it. I'll let her answer for herself, but I think part of the reason she probably posted the thread was to find out if anyone else had some of the same thoughts that she did. Nothing wrong with this. I don't think there is even anything really negative about this.

Also, you do tend to word things in a way that you have to know will insult people, and then seem surprised when they are actually offended, claiming that you only wanted to help them.

I don't know. Maybe you really are that ignorant about human interactions, but I find that hard to believe, because you seem like a very intelligent person.

One thing I have respected about you is that you are very willing to listen to someone one on one. You and I probably had one of the worst clashes on the board. (Well, Bob Crockett and I come a close second, but we've managed to patch things up, too.) But, we were able to talk things out in PM, and I think have remained very civil toward each other, even in our disagreements.

I'll second this one!!

I get so tired of hearing, "Why do you care??", "What does it matter to YOU??"

I don't know how many times I heard that when I brought up the Rexburg Temple thread at MAD.

I DON'T care. But we are on an LDS message board. Why is it so wrong to discuss things?
