Do not "derail" threads or otherwise insert commentary that has nothing to do with a thread's opening post. (although I am a repeat offender...)
What some were suggesting is since you are so freaking offended at PG language, you should go to the celestial forum, which is still Mormon DISCUSSIONS, so no one ever did try to "de-invite you".
Do not make threats or take actions to cause another member to feel
harassed or fearful for his or her safety "in real life." (I'm worried grindael could commandeer a train and take me out)
Thanks Shades for taking out the offending post.
How so, when you are posting anonymously?
And I didn't claim I wanted to run you over with a train. I told you how to end your self inflicted misery, and then said if you did so, (GOD FORBID!) He would send you back because of your incessant whining. But because you are so ignorant and a whiny child, you had to blow it up into something it never was.
No blatant or otherwise obvious personal attacks allowed. (I suppose this is in the eye of the beholder...that's me
It doesn't say anything about whether or not YOU believe these attacks to be warranted or not. )
It is not attacking someone to call them on their BS and hypocrisy. But it is if you are a Mormon Apologist with a built in persecution complex. Like the personal attacks you made on me? On everyone who is a critic of Mormonism? That we were all hypocritical mockers? That kind of attack? We responded, you whined.
For my own good I need to put some folks on ignore. To be honest, I do not like the repeated exposure to profanity (mild or not) and invective.
You have an option to go to the higher forum. You won't do that so complaining is only another masturbation exercise.
To safe guard others that may feel the same way I do I will put these two on ignore and not read ANYTHING they have to say. That way, it will be less likely they will use the language that I believe to be unacceptable in civil discourse.
I'm not changing for you and I doubt anyone else will either.
Yes, there have been a few instances where I fell and did the same thing. That's what worries me. I don't want to be pulled into that sort of behavior and lower my standards.
Yeah, like you are so much better than everyone else. You've already shown yourself to be a liar.
I don't use any form of profanity/invective in real life.
Really?
I don't like to hear it when watching entertainment (we use Vid Angel to filter our movies) or talking with a real life gathering/group. I'm having to ask myself why I might put up with or find it acceptable here. I don't. If I'm not reading posts from grindael...a major offender...at all, he may find that it's not worth his time to continually talk trash. Others, therefore, won't have to be exposed to it either because he has lost his target.
Guess again. And really, YOU are the one who keeps coming to this forum. If you don't like it, you have other options. So all of this is just you trying to dictate the terms of what this board is, and guess what? You don't get to do that.
Anyway, I thought I should explain where I'm coming from so that when there are obvious 'gaps' in conversations where it appears I'm not responding and/or have read certain posts, it's because I haven't. Gonna have to be that way. I want to keep my mind free from filth. There are other poster(s) that I will not regularly interact with either because of the fact that the gutter talk and/or continual harassment is there and I'd rather not continue to read it. I've read it once, twice, three times and more and figure I don't have to read it everytime I login here to simply have a conversation.
I doubt anyone will notice or care. If you really wanted to keep yourself free from the "filth" of the Mormon Discussions
Terrestrial Forum you would. So obviously you don't want to so this is just another lie.
And so it goes. Some will call me naïve or a whiner. Some will call me prudish. Some will have one thing or another to say in a negative light. So be it. But I'm really not here to subject myself or others to continual bad mouthing and repeating the same invective and/or criticisms over and over again.
But you ARE a whiner! This whole rant is one big whine.
So for those few...if I don't respond or seem to know what you're saying, etc., don't take it personally. Say what you will, but know that I'm not really interested in lowering my standards to the point where I'm thinking about "how can I butt kick this person", etc.
Yes you are since you have said that this board is full of mockers who have nothing better to do than point the finger of scorn at you, and you keep coming back for more. Why? If this is so important to you, why?
If you will read conversations that I have with some folks...canpakes for an example...you will see what I'm all about and what interests me. Conversation. Opinion.
Selling your apologist BS.
I've said many times that I'm not an academic. I'm just a regular guy who likes to learn. Writing is also good for my mind/brain. It makes me think. I'm not here to be an apologist even thought I take that route by default because I'm not a dogmatic died in the wool disbeliever.
It's obvious you are not an academic. You are schizophrenic. You just said you weren't an apologist then said you were a default apologist.
That seems to be what bugs some folks.
What bugs some folks is your disingenuousness, lying, blatant apologetics and phony pretenses for being here.
