Greetings, Harmony!

I just love when you make an appearance here in the Seedy Lounge at the Great and Spacious Trailer Park™, although it is somewhat of a pain to have to grease the door jams to get you in. :lol:

Oh, my!

I had forgotten about that one.

I just about choked up a lung along with my Diet Dr. Pepper.

I understand dissonance has dropped a few stone since then. Good for her. I'm sure it's nice to have a lap to rest the grandkids on.

Hello Mr. Graham,

Well, unfortunately we're well over a dozen or so ugly comments Mr. Schryver has made to women on this board, about women, or using a feminine epithet. He not only has a historical record of extreme verbal abuse toward women, but is very fond of feminizing his insults to men.

I'm inclined to agree with Ms. Jack that this has become a problem for LDS apologists and academics because to associate yourself with such a base spokesperson for Mormonism is to risk their credibility. I'm not sure any woman, much less and LDS one, would give this man the time of day, and in fact would look unfavorably upon any institution that gives him a platform from which to speak... Since his mannerisms are bi-polar at best, and pathological at worst.

Additionally, he seems fixated on dishonesty when it has been proven conclusively on this very threat he is a shameless liar. It's more bizarre given the common knoledge of and relatively user friendly search function this board employs. It's psychologically fascinating, as Mr. Peterson would put it.

(by the way, does "Buffalo" seem to think that my post he quoted constitutes "sexually harassing women"? Inquiring minds ... well, no they don't. Not really.)


Perhaps Mr. Schryver is unaware that many of his statements, quoted in this thread by MsJack, constitute sexual harassment. If he's ever to sustain a job in the real world, he should learn what constitutes sexual harassment.

Indeed it is.

I just hope Scratch comes through with his promise to get me talked about in major media outlets around the world. I'd especially love to get interviewed by Chris Matthews or Piers Morgan ... although getting Peggy Fletcher Stack's and/or Kristen Moulton's knickers twisted does hold some appeal.

I feel I have to defend myself a touch.

I have rarely if ever engaged Will in any context. I have zero interest in him or anything about him. I don't care.

I recall seeing the C word post before it was edited. I have already posted my thoughts at the time.

I have zero reason to lie. None. I do not care. I merely offered my witness as it seemed like it was needed.

I am not part of any conspiracy against anyone.

This reminds me of that scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Princess Leia calls Hans Solo a "stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder," and Solo's only comeback was, "Who's scruffy-looking?"

By only taking issue with one detail, he confirmed the validity of the message in the entirety.

I regret having said anything. Too much fuss and not worth a pep pep.

Mr. Spurven never even saw the thread. Nor the post. He never participated in the thread. He's just a dog-piler, like you are. Although you did participate in the thread in question. In fact, you posted within 10 minutes after I did. I'm rather persuaded that you do know the truth of the matter, but are too cowardly to make it known, for fear of offending your tribe here.

Oh, well ... so be it.

As I already observed in my reply to Mr. Scurvy:
... feel free to cover yourself with dishonor in this case. In the long run, it makes no difference to me. After all, it's not my dishonor. Then again, if you've been willing to carry the thing this far already, it can only mean that personal honor and self-respect are not things you value very highly.

That, of course, is your prerogative.


I am, I must confess, quite curious to see if Rollo Tomasi and DarthJ will also join the suborned witness club. They are the two people who were most involved in that discussion with me.
