Liz3564: LDS Knowledge 4; Trustworthiness 7. A board mod. A board addict. Few substantive things to say. A nice woman, doesn't like to insult all that much although she does it when she wants. A marginal believer in LDS doctrine. Doesn't express a lot of admiration of LDS posters.


LOL! :lol:

Pretty funny stuff, Bob!

I would rank my LDS Knowledge closer to a 7. I know a lot more than I probably let on. I do have a lot of questions, though, and am not afraid to ask them.

Trustworthiness a 7? When have I not been trustworthy, Bob? Makes me sad. :sad:

At least you think I'm nice.

As far as expressing admiration to LDS posters, I'm not sure what you are referring to. I get along with, and have expressed admiration for most of the LDS posters here. I think that if you ask Gaz, BC, Will, Dan Peterson, Nehor, Charity, Wade, Abman, Jason, et. al, about me, you would get a fairly positive review. I have locked horns with a few of these folks, but we have still managed to remain friends, and I respect all of them.

Droopy and I had an unfortunate falling-out, but that was more his call than mine.

Unfortunately, Bob, in your case, I can't honestly say the same about you. I think you're probably a good person deep-down, but I also think that you are relentless at pushing the envelope with your antagonistic style. Your own self assessment of being a cyber bully is actually probably fairly accurate.

Gazelman: LDS Knowledge: 6: Trustworthiness 5. A board addict. LDS believer. An idiot. I try not to read his posts.


I scored decently. At least as an idiot I can still spell my name properly. I get decent scores but am still considered an idiot?

I wish when people criticise me they were more forthcoming with their criticisms so I can know what areas of my character I should work on. A blanket statement of idiot is no help.



You're not an idiot, Gaz. *HUGS*

You have issues with judging others.

You feel that your judgment is righteous. I feel it is inappropriate and borders on bigotry at times.

That being said, however, I do think that you have a good heart....and you also have a solid gospel knowledge. I enjoy reading your posts, even though I always have an insane urge to correct your spelling. LOL :lol:

As I told BC on another thread, you're a good foil. :wink:

I see "Justin Thames" has appropriated Jonathan L. Reed's likeness, though none of his scholarly acumen, sad to say.

Sample insight:
"marg: LDS Knowledge 8; Trustworthiness 9. A Canuck, which instantly leads to a -2 on the trustworthiness scale. . ."

LOL.

If only he had appropriated Josh Bernstein's likeness...

That was mildly funny, but the semi-accuracy was distracting. I wish it was all satire or all truth, not this quasy real, half-baked thing.

For someone who's supposed to be a board addict, he doesn't seem to follow it that well (or couldn't care less about consistency - the more likely scenario). Maybe whoever it is just isn't that bright. It's hard to say; there were some very good things about it, and a lot of rubbish.

Monsieur Thames regales us once again with his Review of Week Ending in April 26, 2009.

Interestingly, he misspells Schryver as Schriver, which is the same way Wheat often misspells it. (Not insinuating Wheat/Schryver is Thames - Will is a much better writer - it was just something I noticed.)

Some Schmoe: LDS Knowledge 3; trustworthiness 2. Schmo was once a member of the LDS Church; no longer. The reason his trustworthiness score is so low is that few posters of quality really care to respond to him or engage him in any dialogue, a sure sign that Bendover Schmo lives in his parents' basement with an array of monitors and three computers around him. He's more conversant with World of Warcraft than the 17th wife of Brigham Young. Ye gads, what a waste of human space. Probably from Idaho, no doubt.

LOL

I just went over to read the latest blog entry and noticed I got a mention. This comes shortly after commenting on it here in this thread. (I had a feeling that might happen... disappointingly predictable).

But yeah... wow... he totally pegged me. It's like he wrote my life story.

by the way, this is clearly a Mormon writing (probably is crocket, since he's the only one who's ever commented on my having played World of Warcraft - I wonder if he's a player/addict. Hey crocket, on what realm is your female night elf hunter?), because only Mormon logic allows a person to correlate number and quality of posters' responses to where a person lives. lol

But I do have to admit that all the attention I've gotten from DCP, Wade, CC, and dart doesn't really say much for me. He does have a point about that. Oh well.

Also, don't a lot of Mormons live in Idaho? I wonder what this Mormon has against Idaho...

Good times.

That's impressive Nevo. The actual picture is on this site http://iac.cgu.edu/deslecfall04.html And it's definitely Bob.

My comments about Justin's blurb on me:

LDS Knowledge: 8;

Seems fair.

Trustworthiness: 6.

Yikes! I gotta work on that.

A splendid writer. Quite knowledgeable.

Thanks!

Unusually interested in gay issues which may mean that he is gay. I would bet on it.

I'm not gay; not that there's anything with that (a la Seinfeld).

Often rude in sort of an urbane way.

Sorry.

Doesn't usually pile on to the personal disputes; likes to stick to the meatier stuff.

I try.

Probably works in a field which demands focused writing.

Correct.

A much more focused writer than Mr. Scratch.

Incorrect. Dr. Scratch is much better, in my opinion.
