TBM gets into trouble at FAIR conference

[_capt jack]

Here's Ardis' on-line bio.

Juliann says,

The problem with Ardis' version is the dozen or so witnesses...notice how fast she closed to contol comments after complaining about FAIR being controlling? She came in, took out chairs in a prime section and replaced them with a table. She was offered seating in the back section where FAIR puts it technical staff. That wasn't good enough so they offered to move the entire purloined table to the back of the chairs. She stomped out, saying to keep the money. Apparently she has changed her mind...like anyone wants her money. We are at capacity in that room...we have had to remove all tables. She was treated politely and behaved despicably. Not one person is going to back her version...not even the man that was using the table with her. And John Lynch sent the email...what is wrong with this woman?

I'm guessing she learned this from "the transcript".

I can't stop laughing.

You're upset because the Conference people wouldn't let people alter the seating and then gloating as if this is a major victory and you've exposed them for who they really are.

I'm not upset........I really could care less about the FAIR conference. They could be holding it in my livingroom and I still probably wouldn't attend, because in my opinion all they're doing is trying to justify their hairbrained beliefs. They couldn't pay me to attend their back-patting session.

their hairbrained beliefs.

That's hare-, not hair-, O Superior One.

The expression actually makes sense when it's spelled correctly.

Goddamn man, you are staying up late for that?

[_Pokatator]

At least Bond has hair.

That's a lowblow Potato man....oh well.

Like I give a s***....let us not forget that you're the one who believes in the mighty crock known as Mormonism. Till you stop defending that s***burger you got nothing on anyone.

HaHaHa!!!

Hey doesn't everyone know that altering the room decor is a step toward apostatizing? Next, you will be doing Feng Shui, till holistic knowledge sets in. Soon you will be facing east to eat your Jell-O.

That a group of professional TBM's would take umbrage at her for any reason, least of all at the premier public apolgetic lovefest, is nothing short of absolutely and completely astonishing.

Whoa, wait a second! I thought we were talking about FAIR? Are we talking about FAIR or a group of professional TBMs? If you followed the 'transcript' thread, you know that some people refer to a get together about Mormonism (hardly the most important subject in the world) as a "stuffy academic conference". You know, the kind of gathering only really smart and reputable people attend? One thing you can bet on, the degree to which a conference approaches all the importance of a tree house meeting is the degree to which the organizers mistake it for a council of the Gods. It's no surprise that a little flexibility would imply throwing the planets out of alignment for some of the more irrationally vested appologists. No, this was a setting for utterance of only the most important and grave matters of deep intellectual seriousness. The protocols were to be adhered to, it was no laughing matter - fold up chairs, green jello, and all. I'll bet someone even printed programs from their PC and photoshopped a picture on the front just to reinforce the formality of the event. Fire codes! LOL! Good Christ! Is Lynch serious? You know, only an apologist could come up with this stuff. Lynch could have given that little speech at the conference and everyone would have thought he was presenting a scholarly Mormon paper!

In the end though I'd like you all to consider something very carefully, especially those of you who have read Mr. Scratch's masterful documentary of the origins of the FAIR board.

Let's say, oh, anybody on the planet attended a Mormon conference and reported the happenings thereof as X. And let's say a particular apologist who's name starts with a letter a couple of doors down from "H" reports the happenings thereof as Y. Gun to the head, who 'ya gonna believe?

Not one person is going to back her version

Oh yeah, we know all about apologists getting together and backing your version, don't we? (wink wink)
