I don't care if Ray did this or that, or if his opinion about something has changed. I don't care if he writes things I disagree with. I do care about voicing my opinion about harassment.

Lately Ray has had a weekly or bi-weekly tradition of entering threads to derail them by whining about the tone of critics. It's old. It's repetitive. It's annoying. So I resurrected this thread to give him a hard time. After all it is a little ironic that the one who is constantly calling for civility authored a thread entitled "“F” religion." Also if I wasted some of his time by bringing him to this thread at least it's time he's not spending in other threads derailing them and whining about the tone of the critics.

And Ray's tone gets a pass by you?
No, I can see his derailing, and many other emotions that he has displayed over the years. I just got a feeling reading the above thread that Ray has had his share of hits.

About Joseph Smith.. How do you think his persona was influenced by being the storyteller since childhood? Mastering the art of going pale, changing his voice, and mesmerizing his audience.. How do you think he was influenced by keeping secrets and lying for his wife and the church members for decades?

What I am able to gather by the threads I have read so far, where Ray has been involved, is a man going through a long journey of faith, disbelief and loss. End exposing himself to this board. Now he appears to be disillutional about his former disillution. I don't defend what he has said or done, just that maby he had his share, and even if he somes here to derail, it isn't that big of a deal. Maby he is looking for a sort of redemption.. or maby just to troll ;)
