Re: Who is Selek?
selek1 is scoring many points on MDD from the faithful. He is doing a great job. Cwald was just having a bad day with him. But if he would have stuck with it, all would have been well.
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world.

You are right why me. You are not colossal...

But at times debate can't be avoided on such a forum, and it is the same here. And I also think that selek and others had difficulty where you were coming from in your posts. And this is nothing unusual on a forum. But coming here and calling them a-holes will not help your cause. This is the last place one should come to bitch about MDD, especially a newbie. .
Yeah. So can I call Selek an A-hole at MDDB? Nope. I even defend myself one bit and the mods come running to the rescue to bail out their cronies.

Cal is one of the most consistently courteous posters here. Cool your jets and stop derailing threads with strings of whiny complaints or you aren't going to last long.
I got the message loud and clear Why Me...if I'm not going to tow the company line...we are not interested and you are not welcome. And especially don't criticize our long time cronies...
At least here, YOU, can speak your differencing opinion without getting banned and threatened by the mods. Can I do that at MDDB? No, I cannot.
Maybe, just maybe, the a-holes at MDDB should have just let me be, I wasn't causing any trouble. I was just there to get a feel of what the "faithful" internet Mormons were all about. They baited me into conversation, and then pounced. Maybe, the cronies over there, should try a little harder to represent the "church" like the portray they do. Actually ---- maybe that is what the church all about? You fellers should be grateful you have a few good folks like MercyNgrace...at least there is SOME redeeming value at the site.

Selek is Pahoran-lite: All the bluster and venom, none of the intellect and wit.

Sounds like you're really fortunate to have me.

Hey cwald
I think you mean "toe" the company line, yes?
Indeed!
M-n-G is a true gem and a fabulous human being! (Any board should/would be grateful to have her as a member of their community, in my opinion!)
Peace,

There's the problem in a nutshell.
People's spiritual lives aren't about scoring points, Why Me.
