Again: YOU REALLY ARE ON THE WRONG THREAD, SGW.

What you are posting has no relevance to the OP, which was:

Chap wrote:Nemesis has now posted this on his solo thread on the MAD board:

Ok I thought staying quiet would stop the meme generator attacks then they go and make one that promotes violence against a woman.

[Posted Image of Juliann from memegenerator, with caption "Hate Women? Kick This One"]

Really irresponsible and yes this attack started at mormondiscussions dot com

I think this post alone sums up what I have been trying to point out this whole time and proves where the misogyny really stems from.

Nemesis


Two points on this -

Firstly, even assuming the latest meme is, as he takes it, an attack on Juliann, what evidence has he that this was some kind of collective act by this board ("they go and ...") rather than a single nut at work?

Secondly, who else out there agrees with me that this picture is probably NOT intended as an incitement to kick Juliann, but is more likely intended to say something like "Are you a pathetic loser with a grudge against women? OK, here is one for you to kick- she doesn't know who you are, and can't hurt you back"?

The prose generated by Nemesis is often so garbled that I have wondered whether he is a native English speaker. I hope he is not, since otherwise he would have to be really badly educated. But in this case I think he shows himself to be just plain dim, as well as unalterably malevolent to this board as a whole, and to pretty well anyone on it.

(And isn't posting the image a really good way of making the whole damn thing cool down and go away? Could it be that Nemesis rather enjoys the prolongation of anything that in his view shows just how wicked exmos and nevermos are?)

{edited to correct punctuation at one point}



by the way, I have seen no evidence of woman hating from Pahoran. He hates 'anti-mormons', irrespective of gender.

I think you misunderstand us. How long have you been out of the Church? Has it been so long that you forgot what it is like to be attacked by ravening bigots all the time? To be harassed and hated for what you believe? Has it been so long?


Oh, for heaven's sake. If people on boards like this are "ravening bigots" who do nothing but attack, then why in the heck do you, or any LDS, come here?

It's hard to feel sympathy for people who SEEK out these sort of interactions and then use them to justify bad behavior.

To my mind, if someone defends or denies the clear tripe that William Schryver has written in context and plain English, for the sole purpose to attempt to defend some kind of twisted tribe, he is also guilty. When Pahoran threw womankind under the bus to defend a fellow apologist, he becomes a woman hater. I find it sick. I find it disgusting. It sickens me. Little wonder the Antis have so much fodder to call sexism on the Church with him behaving like that.

I know them from what they choose to post.

Will is the misogynist, not Pahoran. Although Pahoran seems to suffer from rage issues and is chronically unhinged. Pa Pa is probably mentally ill.

I'm still in the church, SGW. The last time I was attacked by a bigot for being Mormon was on my mission. Nothing worse than what you posted here, though, against atheists and antis.

Now I'm being attacked by a bigot for being atheist. I went from one disliked group to an even more disliked group!

Why do you care what we think and post?
Were you to practice that which you preach then you would stop posting here.
So keep posting and be a hypocrite, or live the principles you espouse and go away.

Oh please.

My pictures are stolen and misused. My family is mocked. My art is mocked. My name is smeared. And if I turn this rock over to squish this maliciousness? Well, I guess I sought it.

The real charges of sexism against the church have nothing to do with Will. The issues go far deeper than that.

Will's particular brand of misogyny is not reflective of the LDS church.

I see what you are driving at, but I would suggest to you that in order to qualify as 'hating' a particular group you really do have to have strong, conciously negative emotions towards it as a group, and I think that Pahoran feels no such emotions towards women as a class.

It is more or less irrelevant to Pahoran that Schryver was attacked for saying bad things to and about women. For him the essential point was simply that a well-known LDS poster was being criticized by a non-LDS.

I know this. My objection is to both him and Pahoran, who defends misogyny to defend a fellow apologist. Pahoran should have denounced those words. They are hateful. There is nothing else to it.

Exactly. This strikes me as stupid and reckless behavior.
