Now just me you know what I mean...the defenders have a tough time not being name called and crapped on on this board. You also get a free ride because you are certainly no defender of the faith. In fact, just the opposite. So, you and blixa can relax on the same perch, at times trying to crap on the defenders' heads.


Maybe if you decided not to be so creepy all the time. And also not to hypocritically lecture people on how to behave in church.

Actually, no, I don't know what you mean. You seem to be reading a totally different board than I am. Defenders here call names, too. Defenders here dump crap, too. I do think it is harder to be a defender than a critic here because of the numbers and because the LDS doctrine is really hard to defend.

Blixa has been unfairly accused of things in the not so distant past. She has never, that I have seen, tried to "crap on the defenders' heads."
I have never, to my recollection, tried to "crap on the defenders' heads," either, but perhaps we are working from different definitions of that phrase. The only poster here who I'd like to crap on is you, but other than telling you to STFU recently I don't think I ever have. And trust me when I say it isn't because you are a defender.

I don't think that you necessarily have a proper view of Blixa. I don't see her as aloof at all. Of course, I have known her a lot longer than you have. Maybe you just haven't read enough of her posts?

Blixa grew up in the Church...actually grew up in Utah, even though she now resides in NY. Although she has critical views of Church doctrine, she has always shown respect toward both LDS history and Mormonism as a religion.

Now just me, of course you are a privileged person on this board. You are treated like a princess. You have the mother of the board on your side:liz and you have a good defender also: consig.

Be thankful but you must also see that not all are so lucky.

Have you considered not being so creepy? I mean, I feel the need to wash after interacting with you. That's not a good sign.

As strange as this may seem, Blixa and I might actually know each other. Not now but in the past. This would depend if she was in New York in the late 70's and in the early 80's. I wouldn't be surprised if we crossed paths. But she is certainly not prolds. I have not seen her defend the LDS church at all. There are very few defenders on this board now. And even fewer who are here on a regular basis.

LOL! OK...I'll take the title, "Mom of the board"....It's probably pretty accurate since I have been a Moderator here since basically the board's inception.

However, I don't really think that Just Me is anymore "privileged" than any other poster here. She is simply congenial, and knows how to address posters in a polite manner. She also isn't quick to jump in and judge with both feet. Maybe you could learn from her?

Blixa has not defended doctrine, but I have seen her defend LDS posters, and other various members of the Church. She has also shown a historic reverence toward both the Church, the Church's history, and her upbringing.

Also, Why Me, do you contest that I have treated you unfairly from a Moderator and/or a poster's perspective?
