Well, I continue to wait for FARMS to post the online version of the latest Review. I refuse to donate any money to them, naturally, so I am forced to wait for the cyber version of the text. You would think that, with their huge sums of money, they could pay Matt Roper or somebody to get the thing up online. (Heck, I bet that FAIR slug Allen Wyatt would do it pro bono.)
In the meantime, I suppose I can ruminate on the various reasons why Mopologists hate (and I mean hate) the relatively silly and innocuous critic named Loftes Tryke. I don't want to say too much, but I believe the reaction towards Mr. Tryke is very revealing in terms of what it tells us about the "Mopologetic Collective Unconscious."


Scratch,
You are so damn lucky, DCP gratifies your sinister inquiries with highest dignity like any valiant human being can muster.
The guy leaves his highest calling to answer your most un-founded allegations.
Bravo, DCP.
And a heartfelt thank you DCP.
You are the best entertainment this board can muster.

No doubt that informed the attitudes of generations of good LDS folk. Except, of course, for Dr. Peterson, who was immune to this message, or our old pal Droopy, who would perhaps swear he never saw such a thing in the temple.

Perhaps.

But how to explain my accusation that Christian ministers are all Capricorns with toe fungus?*

That one's going to be more difficult to account for.

For a man with such a fulfilling life as a servant of Jesus Christ, you sure waste a helluva lot of time around here doing nothing constructive.

As do we all.

Are you also a servant of Jesus Christ? I, admittedly, am not.

That was a very valuable post. You've made an enormous contribution, and must surely feel considerable gratification at it.

(I just love it when some here post attacks on others for posting here because it's such a worthless waste of time. I can scarcely believe that the self-satire is inadvertent.)

I've worked hard today. I've gotten a lot done. Among other things, I sent off a book proposal to a major academic press and administered a final examination. About thirty members of my singles ward just came by to sing carols at my house -- I wasn't expecting that -- and I'm leaving shortly to do some Christmas shopping.

My life is pretty good. Hope that doesn't disturb you.

Indeed, it was valuable enough for you to respond, which, I suppose, is what amazes me about you. And am I aware of the self-satire? Why yes! But then it also didn't escape you that I am anonymous internet persona, which pose has a certain satirical element built into it. The real joke is that you felt this was necessary to bring to anyone's attention. Well played. I found this most humorous.

By the way, bragging is never appealing. And one wonders, with the great disdain you hold the majority of people here in, why you bother to engage in it.

Then we're both laughing.

I see nothing wrong with that.
