Wade is posting on the postmorg!

[_Blixa]

Whoa, why me! Maybe I should hire you to follow me around and prove my points. That was stunning.

[_why me]

You know I try not be snarky and personal here, but honestly why me I don't think you can read. First, beastie was suggesting you re-imagine the scenario you sketched out. She understood your post, you didn't understand that she was asking you to reverse the roles.

Second...I was making a point well beyond the extraordinarily literal one you think I was making (and I thought my students were literalists!). In other words, I was pointing out something beyond the KA/Wade dimensions of the thing to show that your whole way of (literally) seeing it is both limited and problematic (sexist).

And thirdly, you always seem to reply by doing no more than just reiterating your original point--you never seem to even register any comment/criticism/observation made by anyone else. For someone who seems to prize dialogue this is tragic.

I saw no need to reverse roles. My take on KA interfering in the thread was simple: she wanted to be a spoiler. I saw no other point. And that was my point. I saw no need to reverse roles.

I understand more than you think. I know that there is a lot of pain out there. And yet, I don't see it to be justified and yet, I can accept it. I have no idea what wade did to KA. My point was that it should not have appeared in that thread the way it did. That was my point.

I would have the same opinion regardless of the gender roles. Let the postmos and Wade discuss it out. If one wants to post a thread leave out the personal comments about Wade and join the conversation. That is my second point.

KA's warning about Wade tainted the conversation.

Why Me, I AM a member of PostMormon and have made, over the past several months, almost three hundred posts there. I've met several of the posters in person. How could I NOT warn people I consider friends of a wolf in sheep's clothing? Wade's treatment of me exemplifies his attitude toward ex-Mormons, and the posters there needed to be made aware of Wade's hypocrisy. He is not genuine in his efforts to bridge gaps between Mormons and ex-Mormons. He is disingenuous.

If my posts keep anyone from getting involved in frustratingly futile conversation with a hypocrite with dubious motives, then I'm well pleased.

Wade seems to be making headway over there. I would just let nature takes its course. No reason to taint it with your personal comments about his person. If wade is what you just said, he will make his mistakes and fail. End of story. But so far, it looks good.

I like that site. And although it may be not exactly postmormon since by definition a postmormon is beyond Mormonism hence the word post, it does have possiblities to be a good site. Jeff is a hard lined exmormon and not very balanced with the LDS church but like he said he just considers himself to be just a member of the site. And that is a good sign if he begins to de-exert his power base.

I had over 900 posts on that site. You still have a ways to go to catch up with me. :=)
