how deliciously apt....

Your sense of irony doesn't seem to be working today.

Julius Caesar is one of Shakespeare's best-known plays, and Mark Antony's speech is one of the most famous he ever wrote; right up there with the invariably misquoted "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" I expect even Phil would recognise this part: "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!"

Yes, Phil. It's that speech.

This was the most unkindest cut of all; For when the noble Caesar saw him stab, Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms, Quite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart; And, in his mantle muffling up his face, Even at the base of Pompey's statua, Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell.

Yeah, 3sheets. That's it. Anyone else quoting Mark Antony might be referring to a sense of betrayal, but Dan, alone, is comparing himself to Caesar. Because, after all, there are just so many famous literary works about the betrayal of ordinary joes that he could have quoted from, right?

Just like anyone else quoting the song from Camelot would be expressing nostalgia for an idyllic time in the past, but the hate clique aren't fooled; they know that Dan, uniquely, imagines himself as Arthur, rex quondam, rexque futurus.

And I would like to issue a public apology on behalf of any alleged Mormon bishops who may, in the last ten months or so, have called a fellow poster a "douchebag," called that poster's daughters "crackheads," and taunted the poster to the effect that those daughters were "out turning tricks."

I want any poster to know that such behaviour is utterly unbecoming a Latter-day Saint in absolutely any position at all, much less one professing to lead a congregation. Such a one is not only unfit to call himself a bishop, but any attempt by such a person to preach to others about how to behave online would be the ultimate in brazen hypocrisy. Neither the target of that abuse, nor any other poster, should fear being treated like that by any real bishop in any real LDS ward.

Well, at least Vincent Van Gogh was paying attention. Like the good book say's, "Those who use the sword will die by the sword and those who use Ex-Lax shall be emptied".

" any real bishop in any real LDS ward."

Just as no "real missionary would ditch his companion"

It is also amusing how some choose to anoint theirself as spokes person for the LDS Church.

And no real priesthood would knowingly post on a message board that derided the Church.

No real Latter day Saint would refer to a daughter of God as a bitch.

No real priesthood would speak derogatorly about the Prophets wife.

Seems your outrage is heavily onesided and hypocritical.

Though often misunderstood, the Romeo line is rarely misquoted.

You seem to have extended yourself beyond your abilities, Pahoran.

It didn't take long.

All the Best!

Pahoran,

What do you think of my new sig line?

I'd say that no good Christian would mock another for his home life issues. Especially one who claims to be a Mormon bishop. Especially one who does so anonymously.

Why don't you just mock me instead and leave him alone.

Both parties are anonymous. And criticizing Everybody Wang Chung for mocking while ignoring Pahorong's behavior is hypocritical.

I have seen you criticize both sides for anonymity.

Not quite. Pahoran's identity is well-known by most experienced posters here and there.

Bishop Chung's boorish behavior reminds me of the Michael Scott character in The Office, constantly belittling Toby for his divorced status.

Perhaps you have not been all that observant on that other Board, but Pahoran has routinely condemned me as being in league with the apostates.

Look, I'm willing to be publicly mocked. There are two separate websites dedicated to mocking me.
