I am not offended by being labeled a critic, nor does my position as such fill me with pride. I'm not sure what that has to do with my post, but then I usually don't know where you're going with things.

How I wish this were not true. Sorry, Nevo!
If you like, we can start a separate thread in which we demonize you and deride your intelligence. Don't feel obligated to participate, and by all means don't believe it, but I want you to have some cover.

Care to clarify once again?
I had commented that the name-calling seems quite prominently displayed towards LDS by those who are critics of the Church. You had replied that that was ironic. I had that as suggesting it is ironic I had said such a thing. I use the term critic here to label folks who I am conversing with, so I figured the irony must have focused on that. Now that I think of it, I did exchange some silliness in terms of names with DJ, but also with sock puppet and buffalo. I had forgotten. I really did just see that as silliness though. So I'm not sure what your comment intended if not for that.

Come on,

DCP?
Pahoran?
stemelbow? (it matters)

This is silly Sock Puppet. I have expressed my thoughts on this thread concerning this matter. Hint: It has nothing to do with libelous. You are attempting a strawman when directing this at me.
Complete and unconditional surrender on the issue gives you the junior size gonads. Not quite the size Nevo has demonstrated, after all he continued his insistence that "it's libel to me" even after having been shown that none of his six points meets the definition of libel.
Nevo wrote:Perhaps the statements in the Expositor—statements of opinion, not fact, I am instructed—do not meet the legal standard for slander or libel. So be it. I nevertheless maintain that they are "lies" in that they state things about Joseph Smith that I believe to be gross falsehoods and misrepresentations.
That's what you call faith--the kind that defies reason, the kind the 7 year old demonstrates wanting to continue to believe in Santa Claus even after realizing it ain't so. Them's cajones.

Dangit. I thought for certain you'd guys recognize the size of my gonads seeing as the ridicule you'd expect me to get from my mopologist buddies for that. Oh well...can't win 'em all.

Come back and report the ridicule, and you might get a 1/2 size more.
