None.

Scartch conducts his/her obsessive campaign of personal defamation from a position of deep cover.

I know that LOAP has expressed suspicion, even a conviction, that Scartch is a woman. I'm agnostic on the matter, myself.



I've shifted my position for relational reasons. In order to keep the peace, I will take Scratch at his word as he has asserted he is a male. Others have expressed that as well in various personal messages. So, despite my suspicions, I'll just go with "I don't know, but for sake of being non-confrontational I'll say 'he'."

Not that this is even remotely relevant other than in regards to Scratch's very careful attempts to conceal his identity.

Good grief, the obsession with Things Daniel here is getting worse and worse.

For pete's sake, find a different obsession! This incessant Damn Daniel drumbeat is just stupid. We get it: you don't like him; you think he's dishonest; you think he's scum! We... get... it! Your opinion isn't going to change, but can we please go back to trashing FARMS and FROB, instead of it's editor? To exposing Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and the church in general? Back to when the board was fun?

Goodnightshirt!


Thanks, Harm! You have just given me my new signature. Forgive me for having to shorten it slightly to fit it into the 300 character limitation.

Aye, I was imposed upon by said limit, as well.

I love Dan, but I don't love some of his actions. Since the 'DCP ratting out GoodK' debacle occurred on this bb, it's fair game.

Part VIII
Relationship of Activities to the Accomplishment of Exempt Purposes (See Specific Instructions on page 26.)Explain how each activity for which income is reported in column (E) of Part VII contributed importantly to the accomplishment of the organization’s exempt purposes (other than by providing funds for such purposes).

This section is an explanation of donation section. No questions. There are questions in Part VI but I see nothing like the question you describe. How about you provide the question for us and where is is found on the 990. I don't see it.

I'm referring to Part VIII on Schedule A attached to FARMS's 1998 Form 990 (on page 6 of Schedule A); sorry for any confusion. This Part VIII is entitled "Information Regarding Transfers to and Transactions and Relationships with Noncharitable Exempt Organizations."

Good grief, are we going to have the Battle of the Accountants now? Interpreting the uninterpretable (ie, IRS regulations)?

Harmony,

With all due respect, if you don't like this thread, then don't read it.

Well, damn, Rollo. I love you too, but I don't love some of your actions! Does that mean if I get all obsessive about you and your actions, you won't get tired of me haranguing you continually, dogging your every footstep, never letting you have a minute's respite, you'll be okay with that?

If you're upset about the GoodK debacle, then stick to the GoodK debacle (although I think GoodK is tired of that whole thing) and leave Daniel the hell alone about all this other stuff that is just borderline asinine. Find something else to argue about. This tax thing has been asked and answered... a hundred times! If you think Daniel's lying, then report him. Otherwise, you're just whistling in the wind.

Forgive the man his debts, that your own debts may be forgiven, for God's sake!

Rollo, with all due respect, this thread is piffle. Horse manure. Bullshaloney. Pure unaltered garbage. Put up or shut the hell up. Either report him or let it go.

My reference to GoodK was in direct response to DCP's call for evidence that he's interested in the personal life of Scratch. I used the GoodK debacle to show that DCP would likely be very interested if he uncovered in real life information about Scratch or anyone else here.

If you're upset about the GoodK debacle, then stick to the GoodK debacle (although I think GoodK is tired of that whole thing) and leave Daniel the hell alone about all this other stuff that is just borderline asinine. Find something else to argue about.

Again, the GoodK debacle came up in response to what Dan said.

This tax thing has been asked and answered... a hundred times!

No, it hasn't, based on the Form 990 filed by FARMS.

If you think Daniel's lying, then report him. Otherwise, you're just whistling in the wind.

I don't think so. And I have reason to believe I am right and you are not.

Then report him/them. Do you need the 800 number? I'm sure it's on irs.gov.

It's my board too, Rollo. And I can comment on you stinking it up.
