Rollo,
Didn't you say that DCP left on that occasion due to your insinuating that he gets paid to do apologetics, or something like that?

Rollo,

I don't think that one was me (DCP has run away so many times I can't recall them all). I remember the first was on ZLMB when I challenged the purported scholarship of FARMS. The second time, I believe, was on FAIR when I challenged his involvement in gossiping about Quinn's sexual orientation and the controversy at the Yale conference. Here's the one constant: DCP always leaves in a huff but, ultimately, comes back. He doesn't bolt the bb's as much anymore, because he stays primarily at FAIR/MADB where he is well protected from challenge (especially since so many of us have been banned there).

Thanks, Roger. Nah, the pic is not me (but Keanu) -- well, maybe it could have been when I was younger, but the Matrix is not kind to old farts like me. ;)

CONGRATULATIONS, Rollo Tomasi, for achieving Godhood!!!. I have enjoyed reading your Posts on the Hill Cumorah in New York State, and the Mountain Meadows Massacre on the "FAIR"/MA&D Message Board.

"Tell me more, tell me more..." Have you come very far?? Like, how old? "RULDS?" Remember the the license plates, "IMLDS2" GAG!! Active? Positions? Ya know, God reveals all, "to those who ask..." ;-) Roger

I would never agree to that. I can't 'hold a candle' to Mr. Scratch's knowledge, research and writing skill. I am content to be a mere servant in Scratch's kingdom.

"Tell me more, tell me more..." Have you come very far??
Some quick answers:
Like, how old?
Let me put it this way: young in mind, old in body. I just went to an amusement park with the family and rode every roller coaster many times, being thrown around like a ragdoll. Several days later and I'm still in pain.
"RULDS?"
You betcha.
Active?
Very.
Positions?
Many. Even though most in the ward (including the leaders) know of my heterodox views, I keep pretty tame among TBM audiences.
