Saying I act differently around different people isn't 'blaming them'. It's how people function. I am following the example of the Messiah who was insulting and condescending when around the Pharisees and the proud and was tender and forgiving when around the penitent.

I am sure you don't feel any guilt in any apelike behavior on this board.


Good.

Many of my comments here are shallow. To quote a TV character though: "At least there is symmetry."


I already know your postings are shallow. :)


They are designed that way. Glad to know I succeeded.

When I want real discussion I can (and do) go elsewhere.


I always laugh when people use this excuse for not providing real discussion.


Easily amused I guess.

Apologists avoid it here because they simply do not have the evidence in their favor on the core LDS issues.


BS. When real points are brought up apologists are met with derision. So why do it? I stopped.

That's why they need a board that moderates in their favor.


My favorite board I go to to discuss LDS issues doesn't moderate in anyone's favor. Porter, Merc, Joseph, Scratch, and most of the critics here would be banned within their first few posts. So would Droopy and Will. All assuming they posted the same way they do here. I post differently and like it.

Have fun.


I do.

Really? Where?


I have no interest in you or anyone else here following me there so I will say it's in the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

It is when you say you changed how you post because of some posters.

It's how people function. I am following the example of the Messiah who was insulting and condescending when around the Pharisees and the proud and was tender and forgiving when around the penitent.


I love it when people use religion in order to behave poorly.

Easily amused I guess.


Of course. Better to be happy then upset at what anyone says.

b***s***. When real points are brought up apologists are met with derision. So why do it? I stopped.


Now that's Bull crap. I am not saying some posters on either side of an argument do not behave badly and they do, but they are plenty of others who bring up why apologetic arguments are usually flawed and poorly reasoned do to evidence not in their favor. This is why apologists avoid substantive discussion in forums they cannot have their arguments protected.

My favorite board I go to to discuss LDS issues doesn't moderate in anyone's favor.


If it is so fair, what board would that be?

So another words you wont admit to it becuase you know you cannot back it up that it would moderate fairly, since why worry about Scratch and all the others you say will be banned so quickly. LOL

I completely disagree.

Because I'm not interested in the morons here doing what they have done after being banned from another board. Holding massive meta-commentary sessions about it here and back-slapping each other over how superior this board is and how much courage was shown by those who were banned.

I'm glad you believe that. After mentioning it I worried you and others might try to find it and pollute it for a while. I'm sure Scratch will run a few google searches but that should be it and the fun place will stay fun.
