Enjoy the trolls, folks

No, MG. Grindael started the thread Inconsistant Stories. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=47363 The thread I linked to was a derail from Grindael’s thread. Shades carved it out of Grindael’s thread and moved it to telestial. You’re listed first in the derailed portion because you started the derail.

It strains credulity that you just forgot the fact that you trolled the crap out of Grindael in late October right before Grindael took his break. Did da Vinci just forget the Mona Lisa? Did the Beatles just forget Hey Jude? Dude, this thread was your trolling Magnum Opus. Who could ever forget your classic farting in the wind.

I could cut you some slack, but I’m fresh out. What you did here is exactly to the pattern that you pass off as other people’s priming. You make up some story that paints yourself as the good guy just trying o do he right thing. Then, when someone points to facts that show your story is wrong, you spend all your energy doubling down on your nonsense.

You had a chance to be a mensch and admit your little story was bs. You failed.

Thanks for the update and the link, Res Ipsa. Yep, it appears I did enter into that thread that the poster in question started. I plead guilty on that count. As I scrolled through the threads up to page seven I failed to link to and/or go over to the telestial forum. I plain forgot to. Truth be told, however, I've gone back to try and find where I made the commitment...as the poster in question did...to stay off of his threads. I'm assuming that I did. But I don't know whether I made that commitment in writing or if it was something I decided to do in my own head and follow his example.

If I put it in writing somewhere, then I did cross the line by posting in that thread you've referenced and I failed to remember. If I didn't put it in writing somewhere and it was a commitment that I personally made to myself...I failed to keep that personal commitment. Although I have to say, I probably just slipped up and forgot. I'm having a hard time imagining that I would have broken a commitment that I might have made publicly...and I find it easier to think that if it was something that I said to myself I was going to try and do...I might have slipped up.

Also, sometimes as I've participated on multiple threads at the same time and I'm also involved in real life activity, I tend to mix the threads a bit. I could have jumped in without giving it a second thought at that particular time.

Anyway, you're right. I did enter into a thread started by the poster in question. I hope that this was the only one. Otherwise I could find myself in really deep doo doo.

Even at that, I may have broken a promise that I may have made...but I'm not actually sure that I did, at least in a public fashion. If I did, and it can be shown that I did, then I will take full responsibility for slipping up. OTOH, if it's something that I did inadvertently having made a mental note to not interfere and/or enter his threads...and I slipped up...I'm going to be a bit more gentle on myself. Even though I'd guess others won't.

Either way, I'm sorry I missed the fact that I did enter in on a thread that the poster in question had started. That was quite a heated thread...now that I go back and read it.

I think it was this particular thread that brought me the point where I made the commitment that I did on Oct. 25th in the post that I have already referenced/posted.

To err is human, to forgive is divine. Even though you don't believe in a divinity, are you able to excuse/forgive my forgetfulness and absent mindedness?

MG

Lemmie, I’m leaning towards denial. He’s so desperate to convince himself that he’s a good guy that he can’t read a thread or remember a high profile cf that he starred in.

Ha. Yeah, I'm a good guy...if at times a bit forgetful. It doesn't get any better as you age...at least in my case. At times, like I said earlier, I've been involved in multiple threads at the same time. I may not look at one thread as being "high profile" vs. the others.

Remember a cf that he starred in? He's creating yet another right in front of our very eyes. What the Johnny F. Depp does it take? I swear.

And for this, we've lost a total of 3 substantial posters.

I am sad that they decided to leave. As I've said many times, I'm just a regular guy. That I could run three 'power houses' like these three posters you're referring to off the board and on their way actually surprises me quite a bit. Who would have thought?

I think you're right. Extreme denial.

Thanx to everyone for documenting a perfect example of the troll's online MO. I have wanted to do it but it is too much of a daunting task for me to tackle and I am tired of wading through troll filth.

God you are such a prick. I can't believe I'm defending you. Probably the only reason I do so is because I think you represent the LDS church so clearly and succinctly. We need people like you to remind us what the LDS church is really like

This. I like having MG around for the fact he is representative of what a joke Mormonism is. This forum would be less fun without posters like MG embarrassing the church and reminding us all of the shear stupidity it takes to believe in the eternal garbage known as Mormonism.

I will miss our friends that have left, but we need the MGs of the world to participate in these forums helping us expose the fraud of Joseph Smith through their posting style trying to defend the indefensible.

And that is where Shades' choices have led us.

MG's dream is to create an environment that is so naggingly annoying and frustrating for effective (reasonable, fact-based) critics of Mormonism that they just quit. And he is succeeding in doing that.

Both critics and artists can be temperamental. Just accept what eccentricities they may display and carry on the best you can. Once they simmer down, they can get back to splattering the canvass with historical facts and brilliant observation. Many hardy back slaps can be had and we can rejoice once again. If not, then mene mene tekel upharsin and the Deviant Art site is always open.
