Poor form, Scratch.


Scottie--

What do you propose? That I cease posting altogether?



I understand you have not addressed to me and that I am most likely on your ignore list, but anyway...


I suggest you grow up and get a grip of yourself. Everyone is a valuable poster and although I bypass your posts, I know that if I ever want an interesting read then I can look for you. So just stop being a school kid and get over whatever the problem is. You know, we have enought to deal with in life without getting upset about things that we needen't get upset about. And, if Jersey Girl stops posting, I wouldn't see any point in my being here because most of the other cool people have stopped posting.

Thanks for the reply, Pirate. What do you think I should "get a grip" on?

So just stop being a school kid and get over whatever the problem is.


Again, what do you think my problem is, exactly?

You know, we have enought to deal with in life without getting upset about things that we needen't get upset about.


Hey, I agree with you there.

And, if Jersey Girl stops posting, I wouldn't see any point in my being here because most of the other cool people have stopped posting.


You're referring to the posts in the Off-Topic form, right?

Why are you wasting your time, S, with Jersey? I find the posts most compelling are those made against the Church which discusses "disturbing" and "troublesome" things.

Frankly, Bob, I don't know, and I agree. Why don't you vote me off the Island, so that I'll be confined to the Celestial Kingdom? Anyways, as I'm sure you noticed, it is rather difficult for me to do posts on "disturbing" and "troublesome" things, since they either get derailed by the likes of DCP and Jersey, or else Harmony, Liz, and others complain that they are tired of those kinds of posts.

Honestly, what's a guy to do?

Scratch,

With all of the things you (and I) have rejected about Mormonism, consider discarding the all or nothing thinking. I don't think it does anyone any good.

Jersey Girl is a little ding'y. Count to ten.

I have to say that the results of this poll, thus far, are quite striking. (Jersey Girl is being voted off the island eight to five at present count.)

I'll be interested to see how it ends up. If she loses, that will tell me something about the composition of the board that I hadn't realized, as well as about the futility of participating here.

With which, incidentally, I would be perfectly fine.

Well, in actuality, no one is being voted off the island, no matter what the outcome is. Jersey Girl never agreed to Scratch's challenge to begin with, so she will post wherever she pleases no matter what. Also, if the poll turns, and Scratch is "voted out", I doubt he will be able to resist posting, either, and, based on the rules of the board, will be welcome to do so.

What I find intriguing is that Jersey Girl has proven being very comfortable posting in all forums. Scratch, on the other hand, rarely posts in any other forum but this one.

A question for Scratch.. If you do lose, which forum do you think you will gravitate more to.. Celestial, Telestial, or Off Topic?

Oh, I realize that nobody's actually being voted off the island.

I simply find it astonishing that a majority of the denizens of MDB plainly favor Scartch over Jersey Girl. That speaks eloquently about mindset of the population here.

Well, actually, we're a way off from all votes being cast. Also, there are 3 people who have clearly stated that they prefer to abstain from voting at all.

If Scratch really wanted to be statistically correct, he would add a category to his poll stating, "Choosing to abstain because this poll is stupid."

However, if he had included that option at the beginning of the voting, I strongly feel it would have the bulk of the votes. ;)

A guy isn't supposed to derail his own threads.

A guy is supposed to handle himself on topic/on point and not post a junvenile cry for public support which is the reason for this non-sensical thread.

This poll thread is the result of Scratch's derailment of his own thread that begins here:
