Oh wait, I guess the above only applies to marrying other men's wives. I suppose 100% consistency is the goal now? Good luck!

Wait a minute! You only give him 10%?! I've been giving Darth 15% for the last couple of years!

Better watch out, Stormy. If you "speak as a man" with an unpopular view, your mod skills may undeservedly start to be attacked. :wink:

I know that mockery and diversion are the order of the day here, because that's how you've always "won" arguments, Darth J., and this is a splendid display of such.

This may be a "free speech" board, but some apparently have more free speech than others.

Have your sty, and roll in it to your heart's content. It's time for me to leave the pig (sty) to relish the mud.

SNORT!

Yes, I think that Ray should also apologize to you.



Thanks Liz, I agree. However, far from apologizing for his past actions, he has seemed to be ramping up the hostility towards me. For just one example out of many, Ray very recently accused my daughter of being arrested for cocain possession, and said he would post the link.

I've tried to extend the olive branch on a couple of occasions to Ray, but to no avail.

Ray, what say you? I apologize for any posts I have made personally criticizing you or your family (this is now my fourth official public apology to Ray, all for a post done years ago).

How is that any worse (if it was the intention, which it wasn't) than posting someone's private message against board rules?


I am convinced that was never the intent, Ray. When you have someone cross-check a list of names from a commercial entity with a church database, it's because you don't want to know who someone is.

I'm okay with the PM staying up (though the person who sent it may not be, I don't know). Just want to know when there'll be more consistency in regard to the board rules (or changing them), and when you stop getting a free pass which others don't have.


Why wouldn't Peterson be okay with it staying up? He didn't do anything wrong.

I notice that you have carefully omitted any acknowledgement that the context of my putting up that PM is when Russell McGregor thought he had some big secret to hold over my head that someone told him my in real life identity, and he suggested I lied about Daniel Peterson sending me gossip about another board member's personal life.

Anyway, Ray: double standards. Tell us about them.

Too bad apostates lost the coin toss this time and you are now a knight errant for Daniel Peterson. Maybe the next time you have one of your epic, psychotic mood swings, you'll change your mind again.

And what about whether you went to the Holy Land with DCP, as you claimed in your own thread?



Thanks for the interest. Due to certain, maybe illegal, but at the very least highly unethical tactics by certain Mopologists, and bizarre threats towards my family, I have decided my response should be:

Liz,

We are not communicating very well at all so I'll just leave it there.

The good news is that our exchange will fit very nicely in this thread.

Peace,

Oh, did you present an argument at some point? You know, an argument, not an insane rant about how the forces of darkness are conspiring to suggest it's unethical to have an LDS bishop access a confidential database for you because a personal grudge against an anonymous message board poster is eating away at you?

Link the other three. (It was not "years ago", it was two years ago.)

We've been through this before:

I have more important things to do until you come up with some substance.
