Tell me, though, what is a "cracker?" Do you know?
Indeed I do. It is a racial slur on par with the word nigger, often used to describe white people.
It can also be a crunchy snack.
Your insensitivity knows no bounds.

"Historically the word suggested poor, white rural Americans with little formal education."

I never cease to be amazed at how the criteria for vulgarity, racism, and all other manner of human despicability are customized to such a remarkable degree whenever apostates seek to characterize me. Oh, well, I have long since observed that the stature of a man can be very accurately assessed by the nature of his enemies.
It is very true that I have become utterly insensitive to the venom of a generation of spineless vipers.

I'm an apostate? Better call my Bishop, my EQP and my Home Teaching families. PM me and I will gladly supply you with the appropriate contact information.
I am not your enemy, Will. I have said many times how intelligent you are. I simply find your manner offensive and off putting. You remind me of how much I love my Bishop because he is absolutely nothing like you.It is very true that I have become utterly insensitive to the venom of a generation of spineless vipers.
The spineless man must resort to base language (circle jerk), sexism, sexual innuendo, and racial slurs in an attempt to make his point.
You have valid arguments. Do yourself the favor of shedding the nasty exterior.

If you think OCDroopy is an asshole: you are a leftist.
If you think Will is an asshole: you are apostate.
If you demonstrate that you know what you are talking about and OCDroppy does not: you are a poseur.
If you tell Will that he is being an asshole: you are vindicating his righteousness.
If Will says objectively offensive things, or says things that would make South Park embarrassed: he's defending the Church.
If you call Will names or say offensive things to him: you are persecuting him because he is righteous.
If you are an active, believing member of the LDS Church who thinks Will is a douchebag: you're apostate.
If you are an active, believing member of the Church who interprets the scriptures in a way that conflicts with OCDroopy's AM radio platitudes: you are apostate.
Don't worry, Will. When your own apostasy from the Church's teachings and conducting yourself in a way that is offensive to someone claiming to defend Jesus' true church reach their logical destination, we will forgive and forget. Unlike the judgmental, self-righteous TBM's whose side you still pretend to be on.
"The fact that you continue to consort with the Saints is utterly irrelevant to your faith status, which marks you as one who clearly "stands apart" from them ("standing apart" being the fundamental meaning of "apostasy.")"

Of course you're an apostate! The fact that you continue to consort with the Saints is utterly irrelevant to your faith status, which marks you as one who clearly "stands apart" from them ("standing apart" being the fundamental meaning of "apostasy.") A very large proportion of Mormon apostates continues in nominal activity, for a variety of reasons, but primarily (I am convinced) because of the facility it affords them to evangelize unfaith, which they do with patient subtilty.
As for my allegedly "nasty exterior," it is a characterization rising from a myth created and nurtured by apostates and their sympathizers, thereby clearly indicating that the assessment is much more revealing of them than it is of me. It is not believed by anyone outside of The Great and Spacious Trailer Park©. Rather, the enmity and propaganda directed towards me by the denizens of this place is viewed, as well it should be, as my personal "badge of honor."
Again, the stature of a man can be very accurately assessed by the nature of his enemies, even those who insist "I am no enemy."
