Then answer the question in my original post.

How would believers on FAIR react to such a post?


Again, who cares? Stop trying to justify bad behavior through hypothetical nonsense.

Charity,

I do agree that some people hate Mormonism. The post was hypothetical and simply a rephrasing of Josh's original post. He keeps asserting he has done nothing provocative or combative, and our reactions to him have been entirely unjustified.

Yet look at the language he used (of course I altered some nouns to make it appear as if an exmormon were saying his words)

For example, Mormonism runs off fear based control.

Mormons like to dance and flail about, I know.

It's now comical looking into it these days.

Ultimately it looks like people need to HATE something, and for Mormons, they get that high by trying to accuse exmormons of HATING the church.


I know from my experience on FAIR and MAD that if an exmormon came to the board and posted in this manner, the mods would immediately intervene and caution the poster that he/she was dancing on thin ice already due to the provocative, combative language.

Again, I don't particularly care if Josh wants to be provocative and combative. I'm just trying to get him to take responsibility for his own words. Instead, he is playing the victim.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Don't play down your antics. You have engaged in a massively UGLY smear campaign that has NOTHING to do with making anyone take responsibility for anything. You smelled blood and went for the throat. My compative nature is honey and sugar in comparison to your "teaching" lesson.

Yes, my post was combatitive.. Why? Cause YOU don't agree with it. Why not address the topics directly, rather than try to go dig dirt and engage in carpet-bagging?

Do NOT even TRY to justify ANY of your ugliness as some sort of lesson. You just get off trying to make people look bad.

Let me ask this. Did I go looking for dirt on you and try some off-the-wall smear campaign on your character? Nothing you brought to the table was relevant, and in some cases wasn't even true.

Your possibly the most hateful person I have come across in a very LONG time.

Actually, it seems you do. You keep popping up over and over just to say that... It is like someone who keeps popping up in front of a camera to declare "Man, this guy likes attention", over and over.

Sure, Josh, the only thing combative about your posts was that I disagree with them. Sure. And yeah, nothing I said had anything to do with your comments, such as "no one has ever tried to know me", "everyone has demonized me". Yeah, nothing I said had anything to do with any of that.

Time for me to give up. You win, Josh, you win. You're an innocent victim, and everyone on the internet is just mean and hateful. But I'm sure your real life is nothing like this.

There is your problem. You think the entire internet revolves around this website.
