Do I really have to go to RFM again and fetch quotes calling "Hinkster" and "Old Joe" the vilest of names? Even attacking their wives and families? No, I won't, because you will never see it in your blindness. You equate me with bile on RFM, when even Samuel The Utahnite and other anti-Mormons have disowned them. The "crack whore" remark about my daughter was greeted with mostly mysterious silence. This is what you equate with me? I have sworn at people, and called people dickheads, but I have not gone as low as ex-Mormons have. Here is one choice snippet:
Ray,
Get real. You said that the rabid RFMers - AND the people who did not go over there and somehow make them shut up, like ME - were the moral equivalent of the people whose anti-semitic statements later resulted in the holocaust. You, and pahoran like you, act as if these people would DELIGHT in violence against Mormons - and that their statements would cause such rampant violence against Mormons they would need their own version of ACLU.
It can get no lower than that.
Here's your example, which, in your view, far exceeds your own hyperbole:
like the ones you mentioned, [Name deleted], who are exmo and willing to take on the Mormon doctrinal challenge in a scholarly manner. I could not possibly do so. I can no longer even look at Mormon scripture without wanting to claw my own eyes out. To me, trying to argue with a TBM about doctrine would be akin to arguing with a sociopath about his book on the best way to torture a kitten. In trying to make my argument to him that torturing a kitten is wrong, I'd have to read his book and basically go somewhere I don't want to go mentally.
This is your best example? This is the bile that will incite some future holocaust? You do realize that this individual was not calling Mormons sociopaths, but was stating that if he/she were to argue with Mormons, he/she would have to do that which "make me want to claw my own eyes out" - ie, read their scripture. Certainly he/she engaged in hyperbole by comparing his/her distaste for Mormon scripture to a distaste for reading a book about how to torture a kitten, but if this is an example of the "bile" you think will incite the holocaust, your perception is even more skewed than I had ever suspected.
Yet, if I call you a "bitch", I'm inciting revolution. WOW!!
Oh, Ray, you don't give yourself enough credit. You did far more than call me a bitch.
But no, in my worldview, that won't incite a revolution. It's YOUR worldview in which calling the "hinkster" names, or making fun of DCP, will result in mass violence against Mormons. So if I adopted YOUR worldview, then, yes, calling me a bitch would be part of "inciting revolution".
But my point is that your worldview is bizarre and twisted. So no, I won't be adopting it.
