Folks, if you come to the forum and see the name of certain posters as the latest person(s) to make a comment you can be pretty gosh darn sure that they 'dropped in' to troll and follow me around.

Almost as though they are receiving notifications, "MG just posted, get in there quick!"

Is that possible? Can phones or computers be set up to give an audible sound when an 'antagonist' posts?

I ask, because it's almost like clockwork. Literally. I'll make a post and it's not two minutes later that one of a select group of posters will jump in and crap on what I've said. I have to wonder how can that be?

They can't be sitting by their computer or have their tablet or phone on hand at all hours of the day...can they?

Apparently they can...and they do.

Am I really worth all that?

Regards,
MG
Yes MG, the forum software has a special “MG alert” feature. You have to request it and it costs $19.99 though. Phones vibrate worldwide whenever you post.

Yeah it’s really odd but somehow fascinating as well. Sometimes I think MG is really an ex-Mormon who is seeking to make the church look bad through his behavior.
That you and Marcus often find yourselves in agreement and/or supporting each other speaks volumes and tells me all I need to know.

It is fascinating how certain posters will jump in to support each other in their common objectives and pursuits.

I found myself wanting to trust your judgement and behavior as being honest and above board. It has been increasingly difficult to do so.

MG
Actually I am a sock puppet for Marcus.

It’s fair though—I don’t trust you or your judgment either.

And here Fibber goes again with his trademark personal attacks, anger and passive aggressive behavior.

Is this really the reputation you want after 15 years of posting here, Fibber? To be known only for anger, personal attacks, dishonesty and stalking/cyberbullying Grindael and his family? In all that time, you haven't managed to convince a single person of your honesty or your character. You can do better. You can be better.

That's some great missionary work, Fibber.

...You would think that they would just 'live life' and enjoy NOT being a member of the church (or their inactivity or never Mo status) and let others do their own thing and let them share with others what has brought happiness and joy to them.

Gosh, you're free to do the same and we're not faulting you for doing that if you were to so choose. :) ...
The irony here is immense. This is a very small discussion board on which mentalgymnast, for literally decades, has openly and very specifically been coming here, in order to 'fault' people for choosing differently than he does. The above is not a logical argument for mg to make, but it does lend support to my projection theory. Anything mentalgymnast feels accused of, he will project back onto everyone here, and then attempt to castigate and lecture all.

That’s not quite right. Posters have been jumping in pointing out that what you’ve said is a load of crap. Try writing something less stupid and see what happens…
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.

I find his posts not only stupid but insipid as well

It seems to be a consistent strategy. What I find funny is through participating in discussions with him makes the idea that MG might someday be a god feel both ambitious and a little ironic. Maybe even unsettling.

Did you know that you left a gap of 1h 43m before jumping in! If you don't pay better attention you may find yourself deselected from the group.

Or perhaps I should be thanking you, IHQ. Was it my turn to jump in, and you valiantly covered for me when you realized I was asleep at the switch? Regardless, this failure points to a need for better coordination of the group's responsibilities and actions.
