Evil Gays and Lesbians Taking Over Ex-Mormon Boards.

[_Droopy]

Most of the regular anti's on Shades' board have been outed as supporters of the homosexual agenda. However, I think that was clear before the Prop 8 issue came up. This is not suprising as sexual problems and hangups are symptoms that plague antiMormon exMos as evidenced by their constant focusing of the conversation of these issues.

This is a wonderfully accurate description of much of the psychological material one finds here and what apparently lurks at the base of much of the hostility, venom, and hatred of the Church and its teachings one encounters in forums such as this. Sex is a golden welded link in the anti-Mormon leash.

Indeed, I took note of that long ago.

Then by that reasoning, according to the figures I quoted above, at least 75% of Utah should be anti-Mormon.

Apostates, at least those who go for atheism rather than some other brand of Christianity (which is most of us), seem to have a much freer and less inhibited view on sexuality, meaning, for instance, that we don't shudder in horror at the idea that most people masturbate, or that some people (shock, horror!) are having sex with their girlfriend or boyfriend out of wedlock. And many of us don't fear and despise gay people the way many active LDS do.

In other words, Seth has a different value system than Latter Day Saints, which in his subjective thought world, he believes (as in the world of Dawkins, no values can have any intrinsic, underlying value or meaning) are "freer", and less "inhibited".

In other words, paleo-leftist sixties sexual revolution can't.

1. paleo-leftist sixties sexual revolution can't what?
You know, I am not a native english. For me, this sentence makes no sense. I'm praying for some explanation.

2. What does it mean "In other words"
This is one of the pet expressions of Joseph Smith. I'd like to know Your opinion about the meaning of this.

I don't know why, and I've asked the mods a hundred times, but it is impossible to post the word "can't", meaning "monotonous talk filled with platitudes" and "hypocritically pious language"without the board software inserting a hyphen into it, to make it the the contraction for "cannot".

Its the only word this seem to happen to, and I have no idea why.

A hyphen, or an apostrophe?

It's because I've activated the word censor to change it to "can't." You're the only one who uses that word, but people misspell the contraction of "cannot" all the time.

'Twas a fair trade-off.

An apostrophe.

... and many of the rest just don't respect gays as fellow citizens, and have some kind of gut fear, whether they will admit this or not.

But can you blame them when they've been told that the gay agenda includes sacrificing the blood of first born Mormon males, or some other equally quirky stories. If only more of them would have the ability to filter out truth from the absurd, their innate sense of decency in regards to how they treat gays would kick in. Either that or Church leaders were to tell them directly in General Conference, that they should put an end to hateful and absurd charges toward gays. It does no Mormon good to have hatred toward others.

..."monotonous talk filled with platitudes"...

OK, thank you.

During Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy, there was censure as hard as a stone, and we have learned to deceive the censors.
In the case of software censor one can do that easily. Well, if I must cant then I cant.

Since when has misspelling or a word used inappropriately been grounds for censorship? This is a bulletin board. It’s hardly subject to editorial review by intellectuals who work for publishers and who stand responsible for the content of the expression of an individual.

It would seem that for the sake of transparency, it should be made clear that “moderators” can do anything they like including rewording a post to make it say what the actual poster did not state and did not intend.

Why an issue over the contraction? Educated readers will know if a contraction is used harmoniously with intent of communication. If it’s misspelled or used incorrectly, why not let it stand? There is no need for “moderator intervention” on spelling or a misuse of a word.

Absent a clear, concise statement for tampering with posts, the changing of words, spelling, or intent makes for distortion, discourages honest expression, and appears a manipulation of the words of others for some concealed motive(s) of those who inject themselves in such manipulation.
