Here we go again: live a life worthy of the gospel, not a life worthy of the church.
As you have no understanding of either, all is moot...
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

We see this kind of self-destructive, selfish, self-congratulatory, arrogant behavior condoned, and those who engage in it given temple recommends and leadership callings.
Harmony, could you explain for us why, given your actual beliefs and feelings regarding the Church, and your quite obvious dishonesty with your leaders regarding those beliefs, why you should be given one more recommend in your own right?

I'm guessing that he saw some of the extremely nasty (even obscene) things you posted about him relatively recently, and that that has caused some tension between you.
Uh, just one observation: Isn't this the real issue here?

All I had to do was push a couple of buttons and you go from crying like a little bitch about how much Bob The Knob hurt your butt to getting you into derailing your own damned thread.
Man, you're easy.
I was afraid of the dark when I was young. "Don't be afraid, my son," my mother would always say. "The child-eating night goblins can smell fear." Bitch... - Kreepy Kat
Seriously, eight pages of butthurt whining and drama. EPIC LULZ indeed.
P.S. can someone PM me GoodK's address so I can send that weepy vagina a box full of No More Tears shampoo and tampons?

Since I haven't commented on the OP, I'll throw in my two cents.
I don't think that GoodK really expects the California Bar to take any type of action on Bob. The filing is more about simply making a statement.
I view everything that happened as a very sad turn of events.
I can understand GoodK being upset about Bob continuously stating that GoodK was demeaning his ill sister. He was doing no such thing. I sense that he and his sister are very close, and that he loves her very much.
GoodK's conflict is with his father (stepfather?).
Although GoodK's post was rather mean-spirited regarding the Church, and regarding what he perceived his father's actions were, I disagree with Bob and Dan rushing to tell his father about it.
GoodK was simply trying to blow off steam. No one here knew his identity (other than Bob and Dan). We actually all thought that GoodK was a woman. He had kept his gender ambiguous, and was even using a female avatar, in order to make is identity even more innocuous.
It was obvious to me that GoodK was not trying to hurt his father professionally or embarrass him. If he had wanted to do that, he would have posted the information under his real name. He was blowing off steam...PERIOD.
Don't we all do that once in a while? I know I do. I will complain to one of my girlfriends about life in general, or a specific incident that is bothering me. If I'm complaining about my husband or the kids, does that mean that I hate them? No, it just means I'm frustrated, and need to talk to someone and get things off my chest.
That's all GoodK was trying to do.
Frankly, I think that if Bob or Dan had taken a step back for a moment, they might have realized that. But they acted out of emotion as well. They were both good friends with GoodK's father, and felt duty-bound to align with him. The problem is, in my opinion, in this case, telling GoodK's father did more harm than good. Think about it. If GoodK's father had never been notified about any of this, their relationship would not be strained now. Not only has this been a bad situation for GoodK, but it sounds to me like it really hasn't been a great situation for his father, either.
