Wowzer! you want to insult everyone on the planet? I love how people complain that certain LDS folks are arrogant. Little did they realize old Molok wants to insult them all--exalting himself above everyone.

That's an easy one. It's because even though I've never been a Mormon, I enjoy reading this forum, and have for the past few years. It's right up there with Reddit on the list of top websites I visit. But every so often, you have to show up and pollute every thread you can. So, instead of the nice reading experience I usually get, I'm treated to you saying the same thing in every thread over and over, etc.


If you simply opened up and listened you'd be much better off, I say.

None of this has to do with you being a Mormon, or supporting DCP, or even that I don't agree with your views on seemingly anything that is talked about on this forum. Contention among posters can be some of the most compelling reading here! So it's not like I want some hivemind here. I don't only want to see posts from people I agree with or like. The problem with you is not that you're annoying. You're worse than that. You're boring.


I know it. That's why whenever I do post I tend to see you come along and follow up my posts with comments of your own. Let's just say, your theory here doesn't quite work. If I was boring you, you'd simply let it all go. If I was boring you, you woulnd't need to respond with such anger as you do. There's more to this. I hope you reconsider this hostility and move on.

Stem,
Your participation is so predictable and repetitive that I believe you could be replaced by a chat bot. For a fee I'd be willing to program up a chat bot to replace you so that you don't have to personally retype the same thing over and over. Would that be worth something to you?

Actually it'd be best if the hostility just dissipated and we all could exchange ideas like grown-ups. It's weird you complain about my repetition but you let the repetitive hostility continue by many posters without a word. I wonder why that is? Do you enable hostility? Why? Do you revel in inconsistency? Why would a moderator do that?

You can answer if you want, but it may be worth stopping and thinking about for a moment.

Okay, so in this post we have a couple of your trademark elements.
1. Blanket accusations of hostility.
2. Telling others to think it over.

We can add that stuff when responding directly to moderators.

It would be helpful if you could create a flowchart of your posting thought process for the chatbot. I.e. what factors determine when to speak like a hillbilly and when to speak normally.

Blanket nuttin'. I said "many posters". Man, you're going to have a tough time creating something if you can't get some simple concepts right from the get go.

2. Telling others to think it over.


Think it through, Stormy. You ahve a ways to go to recreate me.

Sheesh...how many times have I responded to you? Not many, it seems to me.

ehh...I'll just post as I see fit. seems more worthwhile (well I may have to think that over one of these days, myself)

What would be helpful for me? Well you know. Just let go. Move on. Enjoy others, even those outside of your personal similar-thinking crew. I truly think it would be a good idea for you.
Love ya tons,

you ask the funniest things sometimes.

I think you're quite welcome to question the discipleship of anyone. It's often considered despicable behavior 'round these parts if an LDS person does something like it, but you can do as you please. Surely, I can't help the hypocritical nature of this joint.


Kudos on avoiding the question.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Stem,
Okay if you want we can just have hillbilly mode on random. If you've rethought the whole hillbilly thing we don't have to include it in the chat bot.
Also I'm guessing you want the "move on and let go" bit added to every post? That's what I'll go with for now. Please get back to me, it pains me to see someone doing work that could be done by a machine.
Thanks Buddy.

I am not Mormon Jesus but it guesseth me that if I post one more time we shall see the fortieth page and see afar the end of our torture. Perhaps with a pic from The Apocalrock:

Suicide Rock at the mouth of Parley's Canyon. An icon of Satan cast into the pit still in sight of his envy and craving to be like the Most High.

Actually a much better word for you is tiresome.
