I still don't understand why he insists on callous, crass behavior here on the board.

Maybe it's Will's version of Wade's textual mirror. Maybe in getting people to condemn him he thinks they're actually condemning their own behavior as he tries to reflect it. Maybe not.


I think it's his truest personality. He seems to perceive that most people on this board are fair game for any kind of insult or demeaning commentary that he can dream up. Since they've rejected his belief system, they are the worst kind of scum and the most basic rules of human decency no longer apply to them.

It's probably how he would behave towards everyone if he suddenly became an atheist.

It's not possible to be an "adulterer" when you've been single for nine years. Have I "known" women in that time? Of course. But not very many, and for the last three years - none.

As for the "lone predatory wolf" bit, I think all of the women I've corresponded with on all forums, since 2000, by PM, emails, will tell you that I've never been "flirty", nor made even the slightest sexual suggestions. Some might even consider my "coldness" a turn off. My policy is simple - especially in regard to married or partnered women - respect their status. Having lost my former wife to another man (not complaining; I was actually better off), I'm particularly aware of how I treat married women, and never make "passes" or sexual comments, not even in real life. Quite ironic considering that Will is the Mormon, the one who is supposed to uphold high standards.

From The Encyclopedia of Mormonism:

The law of chastity applies not only to behavior but also to dress, speech, and thought. Latter-day Saints are counseled to dress modestly, to use dignified language in speaking of bodily functions, and to cultivate virtuous thoughts.


Whatever may be said of DCP, he totally upholds these standards and is beyond criticism in that regard. Contrast Will, the "prototype Mormon". That should really be the prototype hypocritical Mormon, who has ignored the teachings of modern apostles in regard to the way he treats people on the Internet, and ignored his Church's standards on sexual morality. It's not a matter of what you claim about your marriage "of some three decades", it's what comes out of your mouth in this regard that reveals your real intent.

Will:
No it didn’t, you deceitful shrew, it talked about your “ugly soul” that would “come through” and render you unattractive. You’re a liar and a propagandist.


And, for the record, I find it difficult to believe that "men" have ever found you attractive, at least not without the aid of excess testosterone, several shots of tequila and extremely dim lighting. You are simply too ugly in soul for it to not show through. It gives me the willies just thinking about what you must really look like ...


So now we can get some idea of why Will is outraged over being accused of inappropriate behavior. In his eyes, he has made no comments toward women that could be considered "cyber-ogling", and he's made no callous, crass comments, either.

Will, somehow, is able to type the words "I find it difficult to believe that "men" have ever found you attractive, at least not without the aid of excess testosterone, several shots of tequila and extremely dim lighting." and somehow convince himself that he wasn't talking about my physical characteristics.

He's able to convince himself that this comment:
Edit: I might note that, if KA did not desire her breasts to be "ogled" on the evening in question, she might have selected from her wardrobe an item of clothing that more effectively covered the body parts in question. The black dress she chose could not have covered more than 40% of the breastage she brought to the occasion. Her attire would have been more appropriate for an AVN expo in Las Vegas.


wasn't crass and callous.

Nothing more really needs to be said.

My opinion is that Will enjoys indulging in aspects of his own personality that he has to keep "under wraps" in real life. He views the participants of this board with utter disdain, who deserve the worst treatment in general, so he lets it "all hang out". He reminds me of prep-school teenage boys who present one face to their private-school peer group, and then go to the "wrong side of the tracks" to indulge in behavior they restrict to that setting. See, the girls on the wrong side of tracks don't deserve respect, so he feels free to indulge however he desires. What Will and the prep-school boys don't realize is that their behavior reveals truths about themselves, and not the people to whom they expose the seedier sides of themselves to.

I don't know Will in real life, and don't care to. I don't care what he believes or imagines about himself. But the sight of him preaching to Ray about loving and respecting an eternal companion just painted too big of a bull's-eye on him for me to resist. The level of non-self-awareness that took to have the nerve to type that in the first place is kind of breath-taking, but totally consistent with the man who believes saying "I find it difficult to believe that "men" have ever found you attractive, at least not without the aid of excess testosterone, several shots of tequila and extremely dim lighting. You are simply too ugly in soul for it to not show through. It gives me the willies just thinking about what you must really look like ..." was not an attack on my physical characteristics and attractiveness.

I've known Ray on the 'net for years, beginning way back on exmormon. I have never seen him behave suggestively or flirtatiously to any woman. We've corresponded privately, as well, and he's never said anything suggestive or flirtatious to me behind the scenes.

I think this is a pretty accurate description, but the interesting question (in my opinion) is why is everyone who has rejected his belief system fair game? In other words, how does he justify his moronic behavior?

I suspect it has something to do with the fact that unconsciously, he recognizes just how thin the reasons for his belief are, and rather than actually reflecting on it and asking himself the hard questions, he'd rather lash out against people who (with ease) demonstrate the inanity of his belief system in a childish tantrum to avoid the work involved in adjusting his world view.

In other words, he's an immature, lazy child stuck in an adult's body. Of course, he doesn't want to think that of himself, so it's easier to add additional moronic layers to his already bogus belief system about apostates and the treatment they deserve, and then acts on it. And as I postulated earlier, he's unconsciously trying to garner pity in the process.

What a sad little man. Oh well.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

What would a temple recomend holding Mormon, a leadership position holding Mormon, a RM such as Will, know about tequila and knocking back shots?

So. Thus far this devout Mormon has let on that he ogles women, insults others with glee, has a working familiarity with tequila, and he wouldn't feel the least bit embarrassed for all this to be discussed in front of his ward at Sacrament, or in his YW's class?

Uh huh.

Beastlie:

You'd be wrong about that. Ask anyone who knows me. I don't believe in masks. I've never gone in for that kind of thing. :lol:

I am gratified that I can be, for all of you, the poster boy for all that you believe is wrong about Mormonism. I glory in what you consider my infamy. After all, the only person you vilify more than me is Joseph Smith.

Here, Will, just for you, so you can shudder at how my ugly soul has rendered me unattractive to "men".



It's several years old, so my hair is now highlighted blonde, sweetie is more gray, and we both have more wrinkles. Other than that, we look pretty much the same. Sorry I don't have something more recent, I'm not particularly hi-tech with photos.

If I find a photo that emphasizes my cleavage or legs, will you suddenly change your tone with me? Would I suddenly seem less bitchy?

You are pathetically transparent.

Oh, wait, here's one, around the same age as the first, but back to blonde, and emphasizes the legs:

PS - I took off the pix, which I posted solely to prove a point. I'm not comfortable letting personal pictures up indefinitely.

Hey Beastlie,

You are quite a hot little dish!

Who woulda thunk it?

Hey, if you're ever in town ... nah, never mind. :lol:

You know what else, we know each other from somewhere. I can't remember where or when, but I'm almost certain we've met. You look extraordinarily familiar to me. I'll think about it for a while and see if I can remember ...

Here's my educated guess - Will is going to be nicer to beastie now.
