Mg is misrepresenting history, as usual. Here's a post with some actual details:

...mentalgymnast, in the course of ONE evening, followed grindael onto seven or eight threads where grindael was announcing his new research and his upcoming presentation at the Whitmer Conference, and then trashed each thread with the basest of harassment. Here are a few of his actual comments about grindael's research:

"You're a loser, grindael. " and

"by the way, loser, we are already well aware that you don't believe in the Divine calling of Joseph Smith...so what's your point in preaching to the choir? You already know you're gonna just get high fives. So what's your point? Much ado about nothing, isn't it? " and

"Don't take the fact that I called him a 'loser' get in the way. Just calling it like it is. (Loser: a person or thing that loses or has lost something and/or is doomed to fail or disappoint)"

This is just the briefest description of his trolling, and yes, he's been reported.
That's just one night's trolling. Mg did indeed 'hound' him mercilessly.
A fine example of MG loving others and his acronymed TTOC.

Like I said, a lot of give and take. One must remember that the critics are painting a picture based on selective information and posts. And notice, none of what grindael might have said is being shared.

I've been able/willing to let bygones be bygones, however there are a few that are still beating a dead horse and can't let it go. That comes across in many of their posts.

By all means provide those examples, and the context of them.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Didn’t think you would. Because we both know what they show.

Not true. What I know differs from what you 'know'.

If it was in your favour you’d provide examples. You won’t, because you know what it will show if you did.

I don't have any reason to do so at this point in time. It would be done only to satisfy those such as yourself. Oh, but it wouldn't satisfy you. So it's a waste of time. You know that.

Let bygones be bygones. Turn the other cheek. :)
