The MAD Board Has Clearly Jumped The Shark

[_UtahTexan]

I am very educated.

That's nice.

I simply have not read the BYU Honor Code and have no real desire to read it.

Maybe you should, because a big chunk of your tithing helps to underwrite this particular institution. (Assuming you're a tithe payer.)

Naaaa. My tithing helps fund many things. It does not go toward your agenda :)

You posted a one-sided article. I read it. The fact you chose not to show two sides is enough for me :)

I think it's time for me to take a break from that place. It's exhausting and demoralizing to get jumped on, no matter what I say. I keep deluding myself into believing that, if I can just make myself better understood, I'll get along with some people. What is it they say about insanity? That it's trying the same thing over and over and expecting to get a different result.

They are only there for the lurker. I even wonder about that anymore. They have just done this for so long its simply entertainment and in case someone is watching, they are doing their part to defend the kingdom.

I have no problem having a discussion.

Great.

You are aware where I am a member.

A member of what? These are two very different and diametrically opposed institutions that came to exist when Early Mormonism fragmented into various squabbling factions following the death of Joseph Smith. Look carefully at their names:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

Don't you see the difference?

Games are not of interest to me.

I doubt you know what my agenda is. But if you insist that you do, I can just as easily insist I know exactly what your agenda is, too.

You posted a one-sided article. I read it. The fact you chose not to show two sides is enough for me :)

But that's exactly what I did. The article from the Trib constitutes one side of the arguement, and the BYU Honor Code constitutes the other. I can't help it if you're not willing to investigate both sides before rejecting one or both of them.

Well, thanks. The feeling is mutual. I just wish I could be more OK with myself without needing to be liked.

Borrowing Ceeboo's sloppy giant tongue, one slobbery thumbs up from me as well ... you know that totally unsolicited from the mad place

Great.

But.....

I simply have not read the BYU Honor Code and have no real desire to read it.

And...

I am very educated.

His protests aside, I don't think country mouse quite understands the concept of having a discussion, TEA.

My tithing helps fund many things.

*Although I've quoted the troll, this is not a response to the troll.

Members have not the first clue what their tithing does or does not fund.
It's like investors stating how solid their invested funds are simply because Bernie Madoff told them the funds were solid.

If you continue to use the term anti (despite being kindly asked several times to desists from doing so)...you will force me to refer to you as a "right wing religious fundamentalist wacko"

I'd suggest "Cult boy" for short. It fits his motif and has the appropriate slur

That's an excellent point! No one in the Brighamite faction of Mormonism can say they know where their tithing goes, unless they happen to part of the Q15.

I must agree. I've tried to engage him on four or five different subjects and all I get are word games and appeals to ignorance.
