Let me ask you this. So, you don't like something the other poster is saying to you. Has it EVER ONCE crossed your mind to screw with their real life in real life?
Yes, I agree with the alternative universe eval. Definitely.
Huh? Of course NOT! OMG! I don't even like screwing with anonymous people on-line! :)

I wanted to know if GoodK had anything else to say on his motivations.
I think Bob was under some sort of delusional spell, thinking somehow that I would face some sort of consequences for criticizing my dad's faith.
He misunderstood our relationship, but I think he wished to make me feel uncomfortable and also wanted to open up some sort of dialogue with me about the church. I told my dad I would go to lunch with him and Bob to sort this whole thing out.
By the way, my sister is doing a lot better. Thanks again for those who sent me kind words regarding that whole ordeal.
What I have to say now has nothing to do personally with GoodK, DCP or GoodK's Dad.
Think of the possible ramifications of the dynamic here, folks. Suppose the parent is the authoritarian (when I say "jump" you say "how high") type of "spare the rod/spoil the child" type.
So, the kid uses his right to free speech on an internet message board.
You are also a poster on a internet message board.
You don't like what he's saying about your religion, church or you.
So you "unlevel" the playing field, rat him out to his parent and the very real possiblity is that said parent is going to beat the ever lovin' stuffing out of the kid.
Again, chicken only in this case, chicken with the potential to endanger the child.

No kidding. This is what I've been talking about in my recent remarks on board bullies, as you'll remember Jersey Girl.
From the Ernest L. Wilkinson Diaries: "ELW dreams he's spattered w/ grease. Hundreds steal his greasy pants."

And both of them are bishops. Chickenmanure indeed!
It seems that your son is posting as “Chap” now, rather than as “GoodK.”
What I admit that I don’t understand about his posts and those of his cheering section there is their overpowering urge to believe not merely that I’m wrong but that I’m either a stunningly incompetent idiot or pathological, or some combination of the two. With all the profundity of casual consumers of pop psychology who’ve never met their patient, they’re discussing possible explanations for my crippled psyche. It’s really pretty funny.
You know what's truly ironic about this. DCP first claimed that the "dreamed a dream" was a STUNNING piece of evidence for the Book of Mormon, and asked "how could an ignorant farmboy" do this, and then later, when caught with his pants down, ADMITTED that Joseph Smith could have simply picked it up from the Bible and other sources and denied ever spinning this as a piece of evidence in the first place.
Note to DCP: the reason that you're being portrayed, in this instance as "a stunningly incompetent idiot" is because you made a stunningly idiotic argument, and then did a tap dance when caught. And now your response is to "tattle" - and your tattling was another display of stunning incompetence. GoodK isn't Chap.
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.
But I wish I could have another ride round as a beautiful young woman like GoodK's avatar. Knowing what I do now, of course. Alas, you only get one chance.
DCP is really dumb. If he cannot distinguish my voice from GoodK's, what is his judgment on literary matters worth? Zilch.
Incidentally, dear mods, I prefer nothing to be said that might indicate where in the world I might be.

I made a distinction between continents, Chap. Would you like me to remove it?

So long as you don't say which one I'm on, it's cool!
Anyway, I am just about to move to another one for a while.

Okay. If you change your mind, just shoot me a PM. But don't shoot me! I would never give a location on anyone, I promise!
