I really don't think you'll read things in a more appropriate way either. That's why I bring this stuff up. You'll causually come in a comment about me, when this thread is nothing but an unadulterated twisting attack on DCP. And yet, you wish me to change my approach. Its amazing to me that you will not recognize the problems and instead focus on me. This place is ultimate in hypocritical and nonsubstantive--and yet you wish to complain about those characteristics in me. Yahooo...I ain't the problem. I'm commenting on the problem.
This is your OP
Man, some of yas will dig up anything he says. I wonder if anything he writes to anyone anywhere will get sniffed up by some of you guys. Its amazing. On top of that, no matter what he says you guys will have something to comment on, something to mock, something to complain about. Its an adorable show.
Why is it that I always have to show you what you actually said? Again you would do better to use substance as to why they are wrong, but I have noticed you don't seem interested.
You know...Its helpful that you attack me and Simon. But I don't care for it.
It's not an attack, but an observation. You sure like to call everything an attack if people disagree with you.
This is akin to Buffalo saying something along the lines of 'I see Scratch and Peterson as the same.' orwhatever he said. The majority of this is coming from the critics of LDS. What am I to respond to unless its attacks on LDS people or myself around here? Very little. Sure there is some, but often, even that, is peppered with ad hom complaints about DCP or some other LDS.
Why is it that I am the one being called biased, when I am also the one who can see it comes from both sides. I have spent plenty of time over at Mad in the past, and saw more of it there, but that was becuase believing members out numbered those who no longer believed.
Try to be more like you? No thanks, but no offense. I find your tack off-putting, biased and weird.
I did suggest who to be more like, but it was not me. Why is it weird to suggest you take a better approach that could bring you some credibility and might actually have some success. You like to suggest that of others, but hate it when others suggest it to you. Oh well, I tried. Hope things are well with you.
