Will Schryver's Benefactor

[_Nomad]

Like you go on with your life?

lol!

You're still here all the time. At least you are every time I check this place out. Maybe posting here is how you go on with your life. That's cool, I guess.

Hanging out here with friends has nothing to do with getting on with my life. Once again, you seem to be under the impression that I have some nefarious agenda for being here. I like the folks here, and often the conversation is interesting. I don't need your approval to spend time with people I like.

I didn't say anything that suggested you need my approval, did I?

I was noting the fact that you still post your snarky little top ten threads every few days and generally demonstrate a slow-burn hostility towards Mormonism. If that's how you get on with your life, I have no problem with it. Besides, what do you care if some people think you're a bit of a fake? You don't care what people think about you. You've moved on with your life. You're free of Mormonism and it's heavy chains. Fly like a bird, my friend. Nothing to hold you down now.

Should I start another Will Schryver thread?

Is it time? Is there a need?

There can never be too much or too many on this many-splendored and inexhaustible theme.

I spoke with Kevin about this briefly a few days ago, and went searching in the archives to see if I could find the thread he was talking about. I guess it's probably on MDD, but this one was related enough for me to speak my piece.

Fair enough. Being an unpublished loser, i woudln't know what its like to feel slighted by others when they fail, at least in my mind, to acknowledge how I've helped them. So...I said enough here. Take care.

I'd have to look up the last time I did a top ten list. It's been a while, and before that it was a while. Shrug.

I'm not sure why you think I have some hostility, slow burn or not. I guess you're reading something into my posts that I don't see. No big deal.

If that's how you get on with your life, I have no problem with it. Besides, what do you care if some people think you're a bit of a fake? You don't care what people think about you.

No, I don't care what people like you think. It has been hard for me to lose that need for approval and acceptance, and maybe I'm not over it all the way. But I have to remind myself that for some people, like you, I will always be the fake, hostile person you imagine me to be. That's a shame, but it's your problem, not mine. I'll keep trying to be a better person every day.

I've never thought of the church as being "heavy chains" or anything like that. It's just a part of my life and probably always will be, and that's OK. My current bishop has been very kind and understanding, and the church is pretty much a non-issue in my marriage. There's really nothing to feel hostile about.

I looked it up: April 21 I did one on Mormon-themed Easter. I didn't think it was snarky, did you?

ETA: I was wrong. The last one was April 29 on "You might be a critic if ... " I thought it was funny, and not in a slow-burn way. I'll have to try harder to post snarkier stuff more often. Wouldn't want to disappoint you. :)

I guess what still puzzles me is why someone like you would over, what, three years and at least two sockpuppets, follow me around on the boards and on my blog to tell me how phony and evil I am. Something about me really bothers you, apparently. I don't get it. I don't think I ever will.

This is one of the best ever, if you ask me. My favorite part was where Scratch was speculating that it was John Huntsman, Jr. that had given FARMS millions of dollars, and was now calling the shots on what FARMS publishes. Or something like that. But that was just one of many crazy theories in this thread.

Poor clueless Scratch. Just between the two of us, it's actually George Soros who gave us scores of millions of dollars. In gold bullion, via ACORN. He and Glenn Beck have pretended to have a public feud so as to distract public attention from our fiendish plot to manipulate the Rwandan franc in order to raise more money for President Packer's private coffers and to take down The Oaks Faction. (That was, as you know, the real purpose of founding the Maxwell Institute in the first place.)

Eh? Speak up sonny, I can't hear you.

But I just lol'd and went on with my life. Really, at the end of the day, who cares?

Also, I am sorry for people who don't have good friends like runtu in their lives. You don't know what you're missing, evidently.

Thanks, Blixa. You're the best.
