No sense in letting it trip her up after she's married for 40 years and has multiple progeny that she's raised in a church that turns out to be her worst nightmare.
Wow, Harm! Is the Church really your worst nightmare?
Now why would you think I was drawing from personal experience?

Sounds like it won't be on the site until it airs.
Whatever else she is, she'll be a former BYU student soon.
If she was indeed in violation of the code and she criticizes it in the local media venue, you may be right.
If she is active and believing now, and she criticizes in the media, and she's kicked out, she might also ultimately be on her way out of the Church (on her own). If that turns out to be the case, I'd say the blame is entirely on her for misunderstanding the intent of the Code and of the young man. She would have created her own stumbling block.
Of course you would say that. You are, if nothing else, a very good soldier in the Lard's army. You'd have made a good Nazi.

He should have handled it in a more mature manner. He should have went home to his bedroom, stroked one out to quell the urges stemming collectively from his microscopic penis and massive ego, then cried the rest of the night in acknowledgment that he'll never get a real woman. That's how a real man deals with having to breath the same air as a pretty girl.

MASH quotes I peeked in the back [of the Bible] Frank, the Devil did it. I avoid church religiously. This isn't one of my sermons, I expect you to listen.
Her face, hands and part of her chest remain uncovered. Moreover, the outline of her torso and legs are clearly identifiable. If this is not enough to force BYU's hand into adopting the Burka standard, then what further provocation will it take? Best time to strike is while the tea party kettle is still hot.
In case it wasn't clear from my blog, I do not think it Brittany's dress was immodest, and even if it were, I don't think that excuses the morbid self-righteous prickishness of giving a random, innocent girl a note like that.

It has been a long time since I was in the high pitched hum of Mormonism. Doesn't stuff like this ever make Mormons wonder just what the hell they are a part of?

Of course not.
We just wonder why he printed instead of actually wrote in cursive. It's the printing that makes him look juvenile, not the message.
