CK:
I'm sure that if you went around your city of residence emulating the behavior of the worst of its denizens, you wouldn't be any more popular with the majority of its residents than you are with the majority here.
Your analogy is flawed in a fundamental – and quite telling – fashion. You see, it is the
majority of the residents of the GSTP™ who constitute “the
worst of its denizens." Not only that, but the greatest applause is reserved for the
worst of the
worst: the acknowledged leaders of the GSTP™; the harlots of its hovels.
Due to your selective vision, you come to our Rome and take Boaz as the archetypal Roman.
No, my friend, B&L and Merc are simply the court jesters. The slutish whores of my metaphors are the sore-covered carcasses going by the names of Scratchy, Rollo, Gadianton, antishock8, harmony, beastlie, Jersey Girl, dartagnan, Infymus, guy sajer, Chap, Trevor, SWSU, cksalmon, Some Schmo, and several other lesser imps and demons that I shall refrain from mentioning in the interest of time.
Yet over in Troy, your image of the archetypal Trojan is evidently untainted by the behavior of the anomalous few (like Juliann, Pahoran, and selek).
Troy? MADB? Somehow I would have never linked the two in my own mind. As for Julie Reynolds, I’ve met her and find her to be a very kind and considerate woman. selek I do not know well, but he sounds like someone worthy of trust. Pahoran and I have communicated little, if at all, over the years. However, I hold him in very high esteem based on the many times he has taken deserving critics and chopped them up in little pieces and fed them to the dogs. I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his shoes.
At least our community isn't owned and controlled by an aberrant individual. I can't say the same for MADB.
I don’t know who owns and controls the MAD board, and therefore cannot speak to your allegations that said individual is aberrant.
In any case, I actually think a different real-world analogue than Rome fits better here. In the Netherlands … they are surprised when they natives look less than kindly upon their behavior.
I consider your analogy ill-applied.
I'm hoping, Will, that the novelty of being free to sin that seems to so thrill you will eventually wear off, and you will be back to your more sober self.
Don’t count on it.

Gadianton:
1) FARMS associates, plural, are secretively monitoring this message board
I think you mean “secretly”. And, incidentally, there is a logical disconnect between what I actually said and the conclusion you have reached. Of course, that’s never stood in the way of the fantasies you create here, so I don’t expect it to impede you now.
2) Will has made several remarks about mutual masterbation and allusions to prostitutes with lice and sores which are highly sexists and cruel towards a class of people who exist mainly because of poor economic conditions, lack of educational opportunities, and abuse at home, and nothing else.
CFR
3) The FARMS apologists don't notice anything at all wrong with 2, and are likely getting a big horse laugh out of it. No doubt, the more graphic Will's posts become, the more pats on the back and "good one"'s he's getting from FARMS.
Before long, you will have made the Scratchian transition from one thread of truth to a complete tapestry of lies. Good job! Your mentor harlots will be proud.

moksha:
So, Shadesville exists for the MAD and FARMS dwellers to kick loose and be vulgar …
No, this place exists in fulfillment of the prophecy:
Behold, ere he is aware, he is left unto himself, to kick against the pricks, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God.

antishock8:
I think they're viewed as a sort of virtual warrior caste.
Oh! I like that! Where’s my warpaint and drum?

Gadianton (again):
It's not just that an LDS poster is being crude. It's not just that other LDS posters are enjoying it. But that compensated apologists whose bank accounts as we speak are accruing interest for their defenses of the church are enjoying it.
Here we go …
Before long, you'll have President Packer (between fits of laughter) reading excerpts from my posts during their weekly meeting.
I can see it now:
Will has revealed that he is a close friend of the son of one of the Twelve; the Twelve is therefore monitoring everything that happens on the Mormon Discussions message board; we are even more important than we previously believed; we're in danger ...
And so the world turns in
