A keychain for your key. May you someday find the man-lock of your dreams:
I await the advent of the solemn, po-faced school-marms of MDB to scold you for your vulgarity.
Alternatively, I await the day when one of them starts a thread dedicated to protesting your vulgarities.
But wait; the target of your vileness is (1) a man, and (2) a Mormon. So that's two reasons why he doesn't count.
So I suppose I wait in vain.

You are right. This board is certainly not fair to the Mormons who post on this board. We just have to look at poor Will and Dan and their treatment. However, we must remember that the former members on this board have angst about the decision they have made and most of the time, their posts reflect a defense mechanism which is needed for self justification.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

Will and Dan get to have their say. What angst would that be. You are known for making assertions without evidence so I would like to see some here.

The angst that maybe they made the wrong decision. When one makes a decision to leave the LDS church even though it has not been proven untrue, I think that angst can play a role in the posts. I can see this in the aggression of the posters in attempting to shore up their testimony that the church is untrue. It is not a wonderful feeling to keep up the faith that it is not true when it has not been proven untrue. It is a constant agressive/defensive posting technique. Thus the angst.

Every thread that devolves into it becomes practically worthless. Reminds me of high school.

I think you are seeing what you want to see again.

I think for most it has been proven untrue. Your opinion that it has not only means something to you. You forget that for others it has been proven.
The MAD board should make a referral to this board. Being able to express their hurt at being banned is very therapeutic and thus should be thought of as an act of human kindness. If anyone here is in contact with these castoffs then such a referral would also be an act of kindness.
Even if you see Mormons at MAD being shunned by the rest of the flock, such a referral may be helpful to them. Just don't make it through a PM, since the moderators there apparently read all the messages and will react with rage.

Ya like the angst of the billions of people on the planet who haven't sold their worldly goods donating the proceeds to the needy and make their peace with God before the world ends on Saturday the 21st as Prophet Camping has warned. Oh that's right it's October 21 st now.
You're imaging things again, there's no angst here probably for the same reason those billions of people suffered no angst. Credibility, if the "prophet" lacks credibility then poof no angst. Any angst you see here is more than likely your own, after all you believe all the LDS church teaches yet you don't participate in the church. You have no callings (why do you refuse to serve others?) or temple recommend, I don't remember if you are a tithe payer, and you say you attend another churches services. Talk about angst!! I can understand why you see it where it doesn't exist your life is permeated with it.
