Golly. Some day I would like to be able to think for myself, too!

I believe that I saw the claim. I don't recall seeing any actual evidence to back it up.

Actually, no. It wouldn't bother me if the Church were keeping tabs on some of the stuff on the web. In fact, I wish they were more aware of it. I've been disappointed that they're not, and that I seem to be the guy who follows it most.

Something happens at church headquarters that is not known in your department in Provo? Hmmmm. You might want to look into that.
My department (Asian and Near Eastern Languages) has absolutely no interest in any of this.
The fact remains that I've been involved off and on with the Public Affairs Department of the Church, and that they plainly don't monitor or know much about such sites as this one; and that the Brethren themselves don't know about such sites as this (so far as I can tell, which is pretty far); and that the two committees that I've sometimes met with about issues where such sites as this might be relevant to the discussion pretty obviously knew nothing about such sites as this.
So who are the people who monitor such sites as this? And to whom do they report?
I propose that it's the Illuminati, or, perhaps, an international cabal of Freemasons.
I'll pass over in silence the latest manifestation of your zeal for judging my character. I've noticed in several of your prior posts that you like to pronounce me a very poor disciple of Christ. I'd say that that is your prerogative -- except that, of course, it's not.
I think it would be best if we didn't interact. I find your arrogance and smug judgmentalism profoundly unappealing. Always have.
