Looking at the board this morning, I see seven long scripture-filled posts by a poster calling himself or herself Isaiah. The content is of a kind we are familiar with: even the Dream Mine is mentioned at one point, I see.
May I suggest that board members should consider simply pretending this person isn't there? The more people react by responding on these threads, the more of them there will be.
Of course (reads words from card held up by frantic studio manager) "All contributions are welcome and nobody should disinvite people from the board". But we are not obliged to give the healing balm of our attention to every obsessive nut who splurges at us from his basement , are we?

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

We most certainly are not.
by the way: Starting a new thread to pose this question was a great idea.

Agreed, I think Isaiah has been making too much medicine in his basement and has dropped LDS a few too many times.

Its spelled LSD.

About Joseph Smith.. How do you think his persona was influenced by being the storyteller since childhood? Mastering the art of going pale, changing his voice, and mesmerizing his audience.. How do you think he was influenced by keeping secrets and lying for his wife and the church members for decades?

You know this is a joke, right?
It's a reference to a genuine slip by a poster on (I think) a non-LDS-linked board some time back, who mistyped and wrote that someone had 'probably done too much LDS' or something similar as an explanation of their mental confusion.

Thanks for enlightening me.
I guessed it was a joke but didn't know the context, nor did I have a more funny reply than my short spelling statement ;)

It was also in a line from one of the Star Trek movies.

Re: Visit from an obsessive
I just saw these and read through one... there is a silver lining, however, in that there were quite a number of entertaining riffs following the OP.
What other thread would produce all in one place such gems as copypasta, the dropping of LDS, the earnest explanation that LSD was spelt wrong, 'tewl', a report of a failing yet scriptural leprosy cure, a NightLion post composed of a single emoticon (showing more restraint than I thought the old boy had in him, frankly), an obligatory reading from a cue card 'held up by frantic studio manager', and finally, the quote-throttled phrase "your" "thoughts", which, used in a teaching moment by Blixa made me laugh the most. Well done, Blixa. Well done, all.
And one meaningful sentence from the original poster:
I guess if my grammar is supposedly that bad, then I most likely didn't
copy it from someone.
We can only hope, Isaiah-wannabe, we can only hope.
One question re two statements bolded in the OP:
What poster has used both those ideas repeatedly in recent threads to defend himself? Hmm... Let me exercise my mental facilities and think.

it is not those who appear to be God’s people whom God saves in the end but those who are rejected by the majority.
