Thank you for being honest. And "bile" must mean you're still in TSCC. Only a Mo-Mo would think it "bile."

I was referring to your writing style more than anything.

First of all, you're not talking to the author.


Stop being such a jackass. Yes it is.


Secondly, TL;DR is another way to say, "I have an attention disorder and can't read unless it's quick, because I'm that poorly educated!" Seriously, the temple article was NOT that long,


I know you like to say that, but it isn't going to work here. If anything, this forum held your best chances of having your kaka read, as the posters here are well read and patient and interested in Mormon-related topics.

You're right, it wasn't that long comparatively. If it was written by a real writer (even an amateur, or a real blogger) I'm sure it would have been readable. But for a horribly written blog post that made no sense and had no structure or semblance of coherency, it was 20 pages too long.

TL;DR is another way of saying "That crap was boring as “F” and there's no way I'm even going to pretend to read it."

Are we now in a society where everything must be two or three paragraphs because people were so poorly educated they read at a level of second-grade attention span? If so, that's sad.


You're in a forum with college professors and people with letters after their names and professional writers/editors and it's our attention span to blame?! Nice try.

And all I'm pointing out is that it's rather disingenuous to sit there crowing about all that while claiming to know that all 21 pages weren't worth reading, when in reality you didn't even get through one page because it wasn't written at a kindergarten level.

I find that the more someone brags about supposed credentials or accomplishments, the less those accomplishments exist, so by all means, brag about having 26 letters after your name if it makes you feel like a big man. And I would point out that technically, someone with an Associate's Degree has letters after their name, so on its face, having letters after one's name means nothing.

The reality of the matter is that you are in the minority. The article was very well received by people with a brain and basic reading comprehension skills, including some Mo-Mo's, which of course is kind of an oxymoron, but the point remains.

Oh, I comprehended just fine. The fact remains that he took it upon himself to brag on behalf of the board, a sort of proxy work if you will, so he took the heat by proxy. Sorry you can't grasp that in between your remedial courses at the <scoff> community college.

Actually, that's the problem: it basically was written at the kindergarten level, but worse and less intelligible.

No...no, it wasn't. Quit lyin'

Well, I hope it's nice in that glass house of yours. Here's how your sentence should have read:

"Actually, that's the problem; it was basically written at a kindergarten level, but it was worse and less intelligible."

I suggest you get your own crap in order before crapping on others. Not only was your sentence superfluous and hyperbolic, but it would make third-grade students cringe because the stupid burns.
