Then answer the question in my original post.
How would believers on FAIR react to such a post?
Again, who cares? Stop trying to justify bad behavior through hypothetical nonsense.

For example, Mormonism runs off fear based control.
Mormons like to dance and flail about, I know.
It's now comical looking into it these days.
Ultimately it looks like people need to HATE something, and for Mormons, they get that high by trying to accuse exmormons of HATING the church.

I do agree that some people hate Mormonism. The post was hypothetical and simply a rephrasing of Josh's original post. He keeps asserting he has done nothing provocative or combative, and our reactions to him have been entirely unjustified.
Yet look at the language he used (of course I altered some nouns to make it appear as if an exmormon were saying his words)For example, Mormonism runs off fear based control.

I know from my experience on FAIR and MAD that if an exmormon came to the board and posted in this manner, the mods would immediately intervene and caution the poster that he/she was dancing on thin ice already due to the provocative, combative language.
Again, I don't particularly care if Josh wants to be provocative and combative. I'm just trying to get him to take responsibility for his own words. Instead, he is playing the victim.
beastie wrote:Sure, Josh, the only thing combative about your posts was that I disagree with them. Sure. And yeah, nothing I said had anything to do with your comments, such as "no one has ever tried to know me", "everyone has demonized me". Yeah, nothing I said had anything to do with any of that.
Time for me to give up. You win, Josh, you win. You're an innocent victim, and everyone on the internet is just mean and hateful. But I'm sure your real life is nothing like this.
