On the one hand the Church encourages people to use the Internet to preach and speak about the Gospel and the Church. On the other you are advised to stay away from the fringe elements of Mormonism and stick with the mainstream subjects as well as avoiding anti-Mormon material and discussions.
Should you be here?
Many TBMs are slacking off on their duty to be posting here. Get with the program apologists for this is where apologetics is needed. Staying solely at the at Mormon Dialogue board is like aristocratic British Army Officers breaking for tea while an invasion is happening. You slacking lurkers owe a debt of gratitude to Bcspace, young Joseph Antley and a few visiting others. Even if delicate sensitivities preclude ongoing participation, at least visit when you can and say something.

We only need a few here to keep them off the streets. While they waste time here, we funnel potential converts to other boards. ;)

Jesus is our exemplar. Here one is justified in righteous indignation and so may feel free overturn the money changing tables and call out "thou whited wall".

According to Jensen you don't keep them very long...
“We look to not only the spiritual but also the temporal, and we believe that a person who is impoverished temporally cannot blossom spiritually.” Keith McMullin - Counsellor in Presiding Bishopric
"One, two, three...let's go shopping!" Thomas S Monson - Prophet, Seer, Revelator

The others are operating without backup because of us. Like when they come to visit me in my office, they usually leave crying and dismayed after having been reduced to pounding on the desk. I try my best to get them to resign from the Church since they are often beyond help; would do them much good.

Then shouldn't you and the missionaries be giving out as much anti-Mormon material as possible?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

No. Don't think such incongruity would work. You see, they have to find it on their own and then run to us to see if it is true, which of course it never is, and then they want to hear more.
