"Me thinks"

[_Some Schmo]

I've tried this with "Morgbot" but to no avail.

Methinks that morgbot won't hunt.

I would add the derogatory use of "so-called" to describe the expertise of one's opponent.

Morg or Mobot would make more sense.

...Mobot...

That's awesome. I'm surprised I've never seen this before (or at least, noticed it).

I don't recall hearing the phrase "in my humble opinion" very often in real life but I see it (IMHO) often online. I wonder how necessary it is to tell everyone that our opinion is a humble one. It reminds me of a certain apprentice in a Charles Dickens story... Uriah

LOL... that's a great point.

I think from now on, I'm going to start using this acronym: IMAO (In My Arrogant Opinion)

OMG, If I recall correctly, I use IMHO all the time, ROTFLMAO!. . . it just sounds more polite than making such "matter-of-fact" statements.

Schmo, please don't hesitate to share YAO with us! :)

"doth protest too much, methinks"


That one is the worst. When you Mopologist starts in with the Shakesperian tone, you know you've got a live one.

The alliterative "pray and ponder" or just "ponder."

In a popular anti-Mormon gambit, Scottie has presented us with a textbook example of the fallacy of the false dilemma: either we are to accept it as all true, or else we must reject it as all false. At which time, Scottie will triumphantly produce evidence from a different source, confirming the one actual episode therein, and thus compel acceptance of the false claims attached thereto.

Like most anti-Mormon atrocity stories, this one contains a mixture of truth and falsehood. The little truth there is in it is found in the "Bishop Snow" story; all the rest of the stuff that hangs on the bishop's coat-tails -- such as the claim that this was a "custom" and that such things were done on "the orders from Joseph Smith," is a brazen falsehood.

But that, unsurprisingly, is what Scottie wants his readers to believe.

Paranoia? The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

You are not some wide-eyed ingenue, who wandered in here with just one little innocent question because you'd heard something negative about Mormons and you wanted to hear what we had to say. You are a poster with considerable history and an established anti-Mormon track record. It stretches my credulity to breaking point that you'd never heard of the Bishop Snow story.
