Let me get this straight, the fibber-gymnast says...
As I've mentioned earlier, it seems as though you and Wang have taken it upon yourselves to work together as a 'tag team'. Both of you following me around and responding with 'fibber!' without actually engaging in and/or answering relevant questions is really not that entertaining, if that is your intent. Huckelberry and others are, I would imagine, tired of the same ol', same ol'. Come out of your protective cocoon and engage in some kind of productive fashion/way rather than doing the 'troll' thing or the 'fibber' thing. I'm sure you have thought about some of the things that I bring up and ask questions about, right? Unfortunately, you rarely actually engage except for the expected/predicted canned responses consisting of some garden variety of personal attack.
You CAN change your ways, Marcus! Bring Wang along with you. For that matter, invite IHQ. All he generally does is ask question upon question without actually engaging with questions that I might bring up during a conversation that are relevant to the discussion.

Stop derailing, Fibber. I've reported your derails.

Tag team with IHQ now, huh? If the moderators are competent, which I believe they are, they will see that there are a number of folks that go out of their way to derail a thread by making it all about me or go some other direction. Fairly common. I come to my own defense when I know I'm being treated unfairly. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Think... Orca tossing around a Seal just for fun.
(You're the Seal)
I can bark, honk, growl, and grunt. If you've ever seen me roar, that's a treat. Orcas are black and white, right?

We can only hope, but I fear the fibbergymnast knows only how disrupt.

Marcus, you seem to have an apparent lack of remorse, and enjoyment from others’ distress. Or that you would like to see them distressed. Mild/initial form/beginnings of sadism? Or is it something more serious? Would you even know it?
I don’t see much in Jospeh Smith’s sexual morality to emulate, unless you want an STD, a divorce, and alimony obligations.
Joseph’s prolific philandering is also what got him killed.
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.
In a blindingly faithful move to enhance his apologetic endeavors, renowned Latter-day Saint (LDS) apologist Jacob Hansen has reportedly undergone a ‘Severance’ procedure. The controversial operation which has been made more widely known through the Apple TV+ series of the same name, aims to separate his faith-promoting activities from any knowledge of how honest debates should work or of the historical complexities (a.k.a. “facts”) that seem to constantly persecute Hansen’s claims.
The controversial procedure works very similarly to church policy by excommunicating the less-faithful thoughts in order to separate them from the flock of faithful thoughts.
The whole thing is worth a read…
Despite the controversy, Hansen remains optimistic. “This procedure allows me to focus entirely on promoting faith without distraction,” he stated in a recent Thoughtful Faith video. “Now, I can engage with critics without the pesky interference of most of my brain.”

It is among the reasons, yes.
