If Shades confirms on behalf of the mystery moderator that the exchange took place as you described it, then I’ll drop it. But I won’t be taking your word for anything, ever. You’ve earned my distrust.
Be that as it may, I've stated things as they are. You have chosen to disbelieve and mistrust. You have also made this choice in regards to your belief in the truth claims of the church.
We all have that agency/choice to disbelieve and not trust others.
I don't fault you at all for that.
I also find it very difficult to trust you as a result of your failure to answer so many questions I have thrown your way. You seem to have an arrogant streak about you that allows you to ask questions of others without any compunction to do the same.
In my book that shows lack of humility and vulnerability.

I don’t require you to trust me. You can check, double check, and triple check, absolutely everything I say.
I answer lots of questions. Just not yours. I’ve told you before, I play with you as and when I choose to.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

There you have it. Answering soft ball questions are different than answering hardball questions that require that you be a bit vulnerable as to your personal beliefs, etc.
You are not a whole lot of fun to "play with".
We don't know you as a person at all. You say that you've had close associations with church leaders. How are we to no that you are not simply lying? We don't know A THING about your character, including your honesty.
We just have your word. How much is that actually worth?

Hmmmm - perhaps this is a better way for me to think about my sporadic interactions with MG, rather than castigating myself for "weakness" whenever I respond to him. Thanks!

Good thing LDSbot cleared that up for us, or I’d have been thinking the Liahona must have worked, like so many important devices, on Base38 or Base62 conversions.
I mean, the power of those two Base conversions is incredible. Base17 conversions are okay, but none of the other Base conversions even comes close, if you want a compass-like device. So unless you really think that you can go the faith-and-diligence route, which apparently also works, I’d seriously recommend the Base38 conversion. Base62 conversion would also work great, obviously, but it’s going to be bulky for a hand-held device, what with 62 being that much bigger than 38, and probably more power than you’ll need most of the time. So yeah, I’d say Base38 conversion for the portable model, and maybe put the Base62 conversion in the base station unit, you know?
BND backwards is 442 in Meet^13557 code and Base62 came about when spy voted for one 5.7 magnitude earthquake, but was answered with three i.e. the 5.7 was preceded by a pair of 6.2s on the 38th and last day of the poll.
