And yes, your tone was confrontational from the get go.

Then again the scriptures are fairly confrontational. They are also full of negativity towards wanton sinners.

That's why I'm a slightly less-than-wanton sinner. I fly under the condemnation radar.

I really wonder if any of you honestly read your own filth? "Mormons are this, and Mormons are that". "All Mormons are idiots and lower scum". "Mormons are brainwashed and stupid", etc. etc. etc.

It's apparent that you haven't read our "filth", I've never seen anyone here make any of those claims you cite.

Then you haven't been reading Some Schmo's comments.

Granted, he's the exception instead of the rule.

Asb, I hate to CFR you my friend, but has he said, "All Mormons are idiots and lower scum" or "Mormons are brainwashed andstupid?"

The closest he might get is with the "brainwashing" charge, though he baited for that one in the thread of his own origin. He wasn't responding to any recent accusations, he just assumes it's the favorite topic of everyone. Since he brought up "brainwashing", there was a curve, those who are outright willing to say "Mormons are brainwashed" to those who will accept his terminology in quotations, and those like Scratch who think it's a bad choice.

I don't see the charge by schmo or anyone else that all Mormons are idiots and scum, lower scum (as opposed to slightly better scum), or that Mormons are stupid.

Josh has a long history of doing exactly what he just did. He arrives on a board, decides immediately that the board is not worthy of his participation due to X, Y, and Z, and flames the board while declaring he will not grace us with his presence.

Josh, ever notice that the one constant in your board experiences is YOU?

Funny, I've noticed that about myself as well.

I already tried to point this out to him, Beastie, and he told me it was "childish" to supply evidence. Nevertheless, I think I will go ahead and top that old thread, as it was a classic.

I suppose I could try and dig up the brainwashed or stupid quotes from Schmo, but I think it's sufficient you acknowledge the brainwashing idea. You are right about scum though. I've never seen that one.

That is quite true and a good point. Therefore I think any quotes I dig up to establish the CFR would be irrelavent.

I am quite certain that Schmo esteems Mormons to be low on the intelligence side of things. Even so, I think you are right that jskains wasn't responding to anything recent so much as the negative feeling he got from the negative rections to his posts. And scum? No, I've not seen that.
