My legless one (you sure it was the lower end of your body that was amputated?), junkies don't drive cabs. Cabs transport junkies.

Can't resist one more before I go, Jus. One thing you can never accuse me of is pulling your leg.

Since Mr. Thames seems to be reading all this and updating his list accordingly, I suppose I'll point out that my degree is an MA in Christian History, not an MDiv. (In other words, I was a grad student, not a divinity student.) And I've graduated already, and will be starting a PhD program in the Fall. I also don't know that I'd say I'm politically liberal, except maybe in the classical sense. I'm a registered democrat due to my strong feelings about social issues and international relations, but I am fiscally conservative, not a huge fan of labor unions and prefer smaller government. If the libertarians were a little more realistic in their proposals, I'd probably change my party affiliation in that direction.

I also take strong exception to the suggestion that I am "Always a cool customer; rarely offensive." It may be accurate, but damn it, it's boring!

If you want to pick a fight with somebody to boost your street cred, pick me. I dive pretty convincingly.

I'm fine with being dull and uninformed, but the vanity in me had hoped that I was at least funny every now and then.

You are funny, abman, at least once in a blue moon.

Look, "Justin's" page is amusement only. I would disagree with many, if not most, of the ratings. Every now and then Justin included something very perceptive in his descriptions, but mainly they're just funny. I don't think anyone should conclude that Justin has presented a summary that would fairly reflect how posters are perceived by others. I mainly enjoyed the page due to his description of Will and Wade.

Did you say attorney?

[_Dr. Shades]

Help me out with something, Justin:

Dr. Shades: LDS Knowledge: 4; Trustworthiness: 4. He is not the board host but the board administrator and chief moderator and board founder. He lives in Utah, has a modest salary, and is probably either a security guard, peace officer or prison guard or parole officer. Years ago he didn't post much but he has become a board addict. Relatively weak on understanding his former Mormon faith.

FYI, just because I can't always force myself to accept the latest Mopologetic du jour doesn't mean I don't understand my former Mormon faith.

Sometimes takes inconsistent or naïve positions.

Can you name me two or three examples?

Usually a fair and balanced man, and rarely gets upset. Don't look to him to understand the Mormon faith or chief challenges to it.

Can you give me an example or two of "the Mormon faith" or the "chief challenges to it" that I don't understand?

Toss me a bone here.
