I just love this board, for wrong reasons, I admit.
I come here to be entertained; learning comes as bonus.
Often I am humbled by the knowledge & wisdom of participants too numerous to mention.
Let's admit this fact once for all;
This place is dull without Apologetics, TBM's and NOM's.
Every once in a while the board gets a spark from an unexpected source, Justin Thames’Blog was a such one, I coined it Justin Thames Scale, to give it respectable title.

Now this guy (I don't know for sure if real), uses a name and has picture there, which is irrelevant.
spent considerable time, grading us (uber 500 posters). It is hilariously entertaining but
soundly stupid; let me elaborate;
Yesterday, after reading his blog I did ridicule this guy, a little intense I guess.
I even poked fun at Pokotator's grade, (I hope he did not misunderstand me because I really like him & his avatar).
My numbers went from 5-4 respectively to 2-1. Both judgments are as bogus as it gets, main reason is numbers are changed depending what time of the day or what time of the month he is in.
His grading from the perspective of Knowledge of Mormon History and trustworthiness, (What did he say he was? A Management consultant? let me think about hiring him to advise my multi-million dollar practice).

On his behalf I created some levels, I will use "Soy" as pronoun because "I" sounds too dry, here we go;
#1-2 Soy Idiot
#3-4 Soy Dim bulb
#4-5 Soy Average or SoySauce
#5-6 Soy Bonito
#7-8 Soy Great! Magnifico!
#9-10 Soy UberIntelligent (This one is reserved for uber-Apologist type guys, like DCP,WE, it also requires one to be pseudo scholar, And Dr.Shades you did not make the grade, stop whining!)
I know none of you personally, as you do not know who I am. If you make a mistake of publishing your profession
& name, your Blog better be good one, this one is hilariously juvenile.
Justin Thames misses the mark almost completely.
If this Blog meant to be a joke then joke is on me, I fell for it.

when describing himself it seems that he is describing another person - like another personality:

"Justin Thames
This blog follows the members of Mormondiscussions.com. It provides commentary about active posters with more than 500 posts. Thames is an IT professional located in DeKalb, IL, but his expertise is management, not technical. He is affiliated loosely with Northern Illinois University.

I don't take a fence. You kant insult me I'm too ignerent. Butt, it is Pokatator, you need to lern 2 spel. Also, "poked fun at Pok" is a perdy good play for word engine nearing, I think it is a pun or maybe a fast similea.

I due perdy good for only havin starch for bearings.

O and solo, thanx for noticin'.

Pokatator: LDS Knowledge: 1; Trustworthiness 2:
solomarineres. LDS Knowledge 2; trustworthiness 1.
Darn Pokotator, I thought I had you beaten, for now we are even, Im gonna try hard to lower my numbers
But at least I beat Kiskumen slightly;
Kishkumen: LDS Knowledge 3; Trustworthiness 3.
(Edited to add; He's not even a real guy, he's Scratch's gimp clone)

Yes, solo, I agree we must work harder. Do you think if I tell a couple of big fat lies, I could lower that trustworthy number?

ahem...

In fact one of my confidential informants has informed me that our very own "The Nehor" is in a home for battered masturbaters near Reno. That's why is has been missing.

PS He's also still seeing visions, he was quoted as saying that, "Reno was so close to hell he could see sparks".

PSS He's also going be on the Oprah show in a couple of weeks with Mark Peterson to talk about his affliction.

ROFL! Actually, I noticed that The Nehor has been acting like his usual putz self over on the aptly named MADboard. Probably, he thinks that his posts are "funny" and "entertaining" and "lighthearted," when in reality, everyone else thinks they are "lame" and "dripping with desperation" and "indicative of an onanism problem." One classic post from him argued that victims of torture ought to be "executed," since they are, in effect, "damaged goods." One has to wonder: does this same logic apply to victims of sexual abuse? Child abuse? Car accidents?

Justin Thames misses the mark almost completely.

I think the best that can be said of him is that he obviously hasn't participated or lurked here long enough to know very much.
