I totally agree. Discussions on a discussion board ought to be encouraged, and all are welcome. I made the mistake of telling a poster to take a hike, and Dr. Shades set me straight. He was and is absolutely in the right on free and open discourse. Thanks again Dr. Shades for providing this forum!
Oh, and someone elevate Dr. K's feet and get him some water!

Yep. I was silly enough to ask why the reviews were so caustic and rude. The rude response I received showed me it was all quite deliberate.

Thanks for sharing that, Cam. I did not know.

You're certainly welcome, my good man. :-)

Let me throw in a bone too then. I find this board to be much more interesting, educational and down right hilarious than I did when as an apologist I read it through "trailer park" eyes (if you get my drift). The amount of deliberate poisoning of the well over on that other board who excommunicates for telling truth is quite astonishing once one settles in here and reads a lot. You folks are actually a fine bunch a idiots.....er folks.......
Said the biggest idiot of all....... (in other words I like a lot of you, get over it already) and enjoy reading your spirited sarcasm and in-depth analysis when it needs to be done. I read nothing else like it on the entire internet.

We don't need these "so-called" facts that have been placed there by the adversary to deceive. Instead, we need to obey the words of our leaders and also go shopping at City Creek Mall.

It's great to have you here, Philo. Of course, it was great having you here when you viewed us as denizens of the Trailer Park or "crazy critics." Your thirst for learning, openness to new ideas, and infectious enthusiasm have always inspired me. I knew you were not long for the ranks of the classic-FARMS apologists when you realized that on the topics of Freemasonry and Mysticism, certain apologists were talking out of their rear ends and being obstinately ignorant about it.

I'm confused!
Didn't you tell me (on another thread) that you inherited your eyes and brain at age 10 (decades ahead of me) ?
When you visited RFM (Surely you were not 10 years old) you were a defender?
