A tribute to Grindael

…by the way, it's "toe" the political line - not "tow")

Oops. I guess I was thinking of a tow truck hauling something along. Thanks for that correction!

An example of mentalgymnast's trolling of grindael:

When grindael excitedly announced that he had been chosen to present his research at the Whitmer conference and shared with us some of his work, this was one (just one of many!) of the trolling comments that mentalgymnast posted on his announcement thread that evening:

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?

You're a loser, grindael. Ya, I know I just called you a loser. But the shoe fits.

Thanks for that correction!

No problem, it's the least I could do for being you minus the Mormon.

How would a tow truck evoke ‘tow the line’?

Yeah, I said that. We were in an admittedly heated discussion/back and forth. I had probably had it up to my ears with him and his foul mouthed ways. And yes, I did see him as an enemy of Joseph Smith.

Yep.

Why am I not surprised Mental saw a ‘Tribute to Grindael’ thread and decided to start trolling? Hopefully one of the new mods can take the time to split off these asides from Mental and Ceeboo so the thread can be preserved in a way that honors Grindael’s memory.

I don’t know what any of that means, but if you could tow truck the line and flash that out a bit, I’d be eternity grateful.

I used the word “toe” incorrectly. Making a mountain out of a molehill? Wouldn’t be the first time.

I read enough of this thread to understand that this isn’t what was going on. And yet you seemed to be OK with it then.

What gives?

I stated very clearly why I came into this thread. Go back and read my original post, in case you’ve forgotten.

I know they're fulfilling every claim that was previously made. Not to worry, if a split takes place, it won't take long. Even quicker if Gad does the split. I'm secretly hoping he'll take a permanent mod position.

Others remember it differently. In a public thread, a moderator at the time said this, when a question was asked about your post above:

Yeah, report stuff like that. That's clearly a rule violation that I would've moved. It would've added, in my mind anyway, to a body of evidence that he was a repeat offender not following warnings. If it happens again, he's on the queue. It's only going to take one legitimate report. I favored queuing him now, but Shades' take is just a hair away from that.
