Unfortunately, the performance was sub-par and I am starting to think Some Schmoe is right about U2 being overrated. I've never thought they were as good as Bono thinks they are, but I do enjoy the Edge's guitar playing.)

Agreed. I just thought that stage might of been cool to see.

Funny, I thought there weren't supposed to be personal attacks at thecafeteria, but that must have been too much for liz to have hoped for. Unless its okay there to make personal attacks as long as the target is an MDB registrant not also registered there.

Obviously it is aloud to attack the posters on MDB. Wasn't there some mention on "let's see what the vulchers"

There is a ton of hostility shown here, far more than that shown by Ray, I'd say.

Sad but true, this place houses a ton of depressing characters. Ah well...I guess that means TBMs like me won't be won over too often if at all. Who wants to join the misery?

Yeah, but you're a moron, so really, who the hell cares what you have to say? lol.

Are you being honest Stem? All I have read is huge attacks by Ray and then the other members of the board defending themselves.

Why the change Ray? What happened?


I think Ray has grown quite tired of the duplicity and hostility here. I don't know his status but as I recall my encounters with him have all been as if he's taking the critic position. I don't think his breakdown here is about sides as much as it is about how tired he's grown of the personal hostilities housed here which continue to grow as everyone turns a blind eye because, often, it all seems to suit them too.

Where else can you find threads dedicated to attacking LDS individuals? That Infymus character seems to do it often on his blog. That RfM board seems to do it as well. So, I'm not sure where the practice is most prominent, but its quite prominent here.

Just wait and see someone will go after me for saying this.
Love ya tons,
Stem

TBMs are the most miserable people in America, technically speaking. The most likely to be depressed, the most likely to have suicidal thoughts.

So you haven't even read the OP and all the comments on it?

Rambo, to speak of honesty, is interesting here. Its amazing, absolutely so, that someone can mention the name Dr. Peterson and people here go ape-wild. Or mention the name Schryver and such anymosity is inherent in responses--it's absurd. This thread took off mostly because of the personal anymosity that posters here have for Peterson. I do see Ray throwing a fit. I do realize his participation has stoked the flames. I do realize his participation is unbecoming. And I do realize that it is so because he is plain sick of it. He handled it poorly and is digging his own grave, for sure.
Love ya tons,
Stem

It's hard to tell what Ray's position is. He seems like a very angry person all the time.
