Important people

[_RockSlider]

I assume it was my commenting on DCP’s ego that has me suspended from the MAD board. A week’s suspension this time (opposing Will gets you 3 days).

I don’t know why it irritates me, I’ve seen him do it several times, you know, the list of all the important things that he has to do.

I imagine the time of one’s accounting to the Lord’s question: “What did you accomplish in your life, what did you contribute to mankind?”

If the Church ‘s truth claims are true, I suppose DCP comes out looking good, as far as his life’s work is concerned.

I am grateful that the ultimate value of my life’s work is not based on the Church’s true claims.

Just a country hick . . . cranking code and doing the best I can.

I want to congratulate and thank you for the recent MADhouse skirmishes you undertook with our all self-important Professor Dan. It was fun to watch (that's all I can do), and I hope you wear your suspension as a badge of honor.

Hi Rockslider,

Per Dr. Shades's rule, can you please give the name of the thread this all happened in? I'm not one to report people for rule-breaking normally, but I'm feeling a little deprived of some quality entertainment right now.

Dean Robbers,

I concur, a link to the thread may take this current thread to a new level.

Mr. Slider,

I believe your suspension is likely unwarranted, ruffling the peacocks feathers tends to get you grounded.

That's it? Wow. Then I guess I dodged a bullet on this thread:

Wow, Reed, you really pissed the DCPster off.

To participate on MAD successfully, one must fully embrace and accept the fact that some posters are “more equal” than others. Seriously. One must accept one’s status as a second-class citizen. One must avoid engaging in the same tone as apologists adopt towards critics. It’s also helpful to engage in some pandering now and then, too. Praising DCP now and then never hurts.

Yes, Mike, you definitely dodged a bullet. A moderator must have a personal liking for you.

Here’s my favorite part of the thread Mike linked.

Mike:

Not everyone finds lds apologetic rebuttals as persuasive as you do, Dan.

DCP

There are members of the Flat Earth Society, too. And fans of reality television.

I don't have to be agnostic simply because you or somebody else find something unconvincing.

So someone who finds apologetic rebuttals unpersuasive is like a member of a Flat Earth Society? Heh. So because I find it entirely unpersuasive that the “horses” mentioned in the Book of Mormon, along with cattle and sheep, all mean “tapirs”, I’m the equivalent of a Flat Earther?

That’s part of the reason I like reading message boards. Not even reality TV offers such sheer entertainment. In fact, neither does the Three Stooges.

Hi Rockslider,

Sorry, I was not on a computer that I could see the site yesterday. (logged in at work, and surprise, suspended, seems it suspends the first computer you login with).

Anyway, to Beasties and Mike's comments, the trouble did start back a bit in the thread. I had suggested that the Internet Mormon/Chapel Mormon thing was most fun because of the strong emotional response it caused (proof was in the pudding).

In a response to the following attack by Facsimile3, one might find the answer why Mike is still there:

I hope they have at least some sense of a need to keep some quality opposing thoughts around.

by the way, It was ironic that DCP ended up playing an "Evil Clown" role, by accusing Mike of having no sense of humor.

I never cease to be amazed at the high level of intellectual dishonesty Dan engages in on a regular basis. It still cracks me up that he once called himself a deep thinker.

He's about as deep as your average Matthew McConaughey flick (or perhaps his family's gene pool).
