Apologists at MDD seem like cranky apostles

This is really how I felt when I visited the MAD board back in the early days of my wanderings. There are a few exceptions - most notably Don Bradley, a guy named silverlight (I think), and Catherine the Great.

Whenever I conversed with Will S., Dan P., that guy with the silver ball in his avatar, BCSpace, some yoda guy, and many others, I felt like I was sitting in general conference listening to crusty talks with angst. It was as if I was listening to Richard Scott or Dallin Oaks. They seemed very devout and serious about the Gospel. The big difference was that these guys also seemed so very impatient and rude.

I hope this comes across as both a complement and a criticism. A complement for being sort of like the cream of the LDS crop but a criticism for taking on some sort of strange darkness that seems absent in the men of the cloth.

Goodnight fabulous board members,

Zee.

That is a good point. There have been many wonderful people on the various incarnations of the current MD&D board. While there are some bad apples, it has never dimmed my appreciation for those individuals. What they wrote has enriched me. Their goodness has shown through the general rhetoric.
