For Selek--Welcome, want to apologize now?

[_Moniker]

Selek, has always been super nice, to me. Hi, Selek.

I wish everyone could be nice! :(

I could be wrong, but I don't think this is really the MAD Selek.

Oh, dear. Is it not? Oops, I just sent this Selek a PM... I'll check on MAD to see if it is.

Dangit. I'm still gullible!

I tried to PM him on MAD to verify and his inbox is full.

Well, if he replies to my PM here then I'll know if it's him or not.

Scottie, check your PMs! A question for you as mod...

Selek,

Surprised to see you here. Thought you were way too much of a coward to venture to these parts. Maybe you were looking for me so that you could make restitution (apologize) for saying this to me in the very thread (as I recall) that ended up with me being banned (or at least suspended) from MAD (and, of course, nothing happening to you). You said:

You'll have all eternity in hell to ponder the number of innocent windmills you accosted.

You must be familiar with the teaching of Elder Oaks that we are not to make ultimate judgments about people like this (I can get the quotes for you, if necessary). So, you erred. I gave you several chances to take THE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY STEP OF LDS REPENTANCE of apologizing before I got banned (for challenging DCP, which is a "no no" over there), but you would not do so. Do you want to do so now? I suppose I could stand as a witness someday that you were in fact given multiple opportunities to take this ESSENTIAL step and failed to do so because of PRIDE each time.

Sincerely, mms

I can't recall our previous conversation, but in certain circles I am known as a pompous windbag prick, so it wouldn't surprise me if I've treated you poorly in the past. Hell, I wore out a dictionary looking up fancy words just to shoot down those with whom I disagree!

You might find the "new-and-improved" selek on this board more to your liking. ;-)

LOL. [pause] Coggins meet selek. Selek, Coggins.

[_Daniel Peterson]

I've been trying to get Daniel to live up to his beliefs too, and we see how far that's gone.... although to be strictly fair, he's mellowed considerably since the bad old days on Z.

Reality check:

I haven't mellowed a bit.

And you're in no position to see much of anything about how or whether I live up to my beliefs.

And he still can be drawn out of the woodwork just by mentioning his name.

Daniel, you're a nice guy, but kinda gullible. Do you think I don't know anyone at BYU or in Provo or in Orem? Good grief, man. I may know someone in your ward, and you'd never know it. I may know your neighbors; heck, I may be related to your neighbors, and you'd never know it. The LDS world is very small. Six degrees of separation and all that, ya know.

And yes, you've mellowed. You aren't the old firedog, oozing malice and venom anymore. It's kinda nice, actually.
