Thanks Will....that's what was missing for the definition in the urban dictionary.


Tvedtnes \twetness\, noun:
What is left behind after a mopologist circlejerk

William was pleased to have the latest FARMS REVIEW release meeting at his house, however the tvedtnes was more than he expected.

Conclude what, Jason? I observed that he engaged in gossip and smearing of his own (against Brent Metcalfe), and that he erupted with a foul-mouthed rant on an email exchange. It seems to me that your charges are blown way out of proportion

I didn't "conclude" that anywhere, Jason. You are free to draw your own conclusions based on the evidence.



You last para of your op states:

o, in summary: John Tvednes, a "hired gun" for SHIELDS, is also a gossipmongerer with a nasty, foul-mouthed temper. In other words: par for the course, as far as apologetics---especially SHIELDS apologetics---are concerned. Is he as far up the "hierarchy" as capo regime Louis Midgley? I don't think so, but his recent appointment as "associate" would seem to suggest that he is climbing up the ladder.


Do you suffer from short term memory problems?


Huh? What are you talking about? Istated Tvedtnes blew up and demonstrated that, indeed, he has a "nasty, foul-mouthed temper." You seem to have taken that and spun it into some version of, "Tvednes habitually blows up and uses profanity, and, in fact, he does it so much that it is a distinguishing aspect of his personality." But, that's not what I said, Jason. I stated things in a more or less straightforward manner. It is you and all the TBMs on the thread who have somehow read that into what I actually wrote.

Tell me: Would it make you feel better if I amended my OP to say, "Tvedtnes proved on these two occasions that he is guilty of gossipmongering, smearing, and exploding with profanity"? I'm not sure what you and others are quibbling over: the mere fact that I made mention of an apologist's rancid behavior, or the way I discussed it. If it is the former, then I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to help you. If it's the latter, then, hey---no problem. I'll happily go back and amend the OP.


Let me note a couple thing. SHIELDS does not pay people. It is a web site of some hobby apologists.


Do you know this for a fact? Or is that just "speculation"?


I know it.


How?

I hardly think it is any more "disgusting" than Tvedtnes's lying in an effort to smear B. Metcalfe. Hey, at least what *I* say is true!

Yes. Full of truthiness.

one moment, of the well of life to taste-

starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

I think he looks like Jeffrey Tambor

Then, if you put a mustache on Tambor, you get Daniel Peterson:

Will, I know that you admire Dr. Peterson, both his character, and his work. Why don't you follow his example? He has managed to reach God status, posting over 1000 posts on our message board. Not one of his posts contain the kind of filth you have spewed in your posts. Yet, he has always very successfully maintained his apologetic positions, and defended the Church.

You, on the other hand, are simply becoming two things:

1. An embarrassment to your fellow apologist colleagues.

2. The lowest class poster on this board.

Gain some class and grow up, Will.

I would hope that these posts will be properly split off into the telestial kingdom each and every time they are made.

Please specify which of my posts you feel is worthy of the telestial kingdom, there to feel comfortable next to the noxious utterances of Mercury and Boaz & Lydia. Let's compare them.

I can't wait to see the results of your judgment.

Thanks,
There goes my vote away from McCain,
To seed of Cain?
Should that be acceptable?
