You guys are still at it! (why am I not surprised?)

[Shulem]

But, you know, it is helpful to know if you are speaking to a male or female.

It would also be helpful to know if you're looking at a male or female while studying the persons and writings of ancient Egyptian funerary papyri.

Wouldn't you say? Gender is important!

[Shulem]

My question that I've repeatedly asked you only requires that you be vulnerable enough to state your personal beliefs in regards to the meaning of life and what you think happens after death.

And I've asked you to open up a little and be vulnerable in sharing your personal beliefs in regards to why Smith hacked out the face of Anubis on the lead plate and tell us what you think of the king's name that is alleged to be written in the hieroglyphic writing.

Nobody needs to answer you a damn thing, MG. Practice what you preach, you hypocrite!

[Shulem]

Why don't you do Mormon Stories or Mormon DIscussions or Mormonish?

No, no, not me. I'm much too shy for that kind of stuff. Personally, I have no interest in being a public figure and exposing myself to the Internet in that fashion.

Hey, MG. You seem to have overlooked the people here who do not fit your stereotype. They are still "at it" too, if by "at it" you mean hanging around with friends online and enjoying each other's company.

Let it be known that Kishkumen and Shulem are friends regardless of the tiffs and points of contention we have expressed in various threads on this board.

Very much so! I treasure our friendship and long association!

Indeed, and thank you very much for such a kind response!

What kind of person are you? Are you a loner? What do you do with your time when you're not on the computer? What do you do to serve others? Are you happily married? Do your children love and respect you? Do you have grandchildren that you spend time with often? Are you involved in community service? Do you take care of yourself physically and exercise regularly? Can you be trusted around children? If yes, how do we know that to be true? What is your belief system? How does it work for you? Would you recommend it to others? Why?

I think it's kind of interesting how MG makes the standard by which to measure a person's life his own life, to the extent that he's proud of himself. I'm sure MG does have a good life. It's just that, there were plenty of family-oriented Nazi's who supported Hitler and so obviously it doesn't say much about a person's character or ultimate truth-finding just to meet these criteria. Also, MG assumes his answers paint a certain picture that it isn't necessarily so.

I had a neighbor a few doors down once who on paper answered these questions likely better than MG could, yet the end picture would not be what MG has in mind. loner? def. not. grandchildren? one, but he had minimum 5 kids; more than MG had at the same age. spent most of his time with family. community service? No, but at the same age I doubt MG did either. physically? black belt in something. trusted with kids? yes. how do we know? (will get to that) belief system? christian. I know because i used to get their mail. married? no, but engaged and + 1 more kid for that.

Early thirties, gang-banger, drug user; constant arrests; kids were all in gangs (they were quite well-behaved considering). He was a great family man, spent literally all his time with family cuz no job. His parents had custody, but he was def. trustworthy because with all the scrutiny, if there were any question they wouldn't all be living together. He def. loved his family; more of a tragic figure than truly bad. But, probably not the standard for a model society or personal enlightenment as MG envisions it either.

Marcus and IHAQ,
You are both misdirecting and sidestepping throughout this thread. It's difficult to even try and keep up with it. And it doesn't really lead/go anywhere.

One thing you both do seem to have in common is an emotional fixation on taking me down because of past grievances.

I'm sorry that this has become such an all consuming thing for you and that it has taken a personal toll.

It comes through in your posts.

I've already, a number of times, responded to your grievances but you both seemingly cannot get past it and move on. Almost every response you make in response to my posts is couched in 'past hurts'. For your own emotional well being it might be well to move past what you to perceive to be hurtful conduct and behavior and simply move on.

Pointing towards perceived 'sexism' and accusations of spiritual deficiency or lack of obedience along with saying...without a shred of evidence...that I cannot be trusted around children, etc , is sadly more a reflection on you than anyone else.

Apparently you both are unable to let bygones be bygones and we will simply have to look past these deficiencies on your part and exercise a certain amount/degree of empathy for your situation.

This thread has given more clarity to this fixation that you both apparently are unable to leave behind. It seems to be an emotional trigger that you both find difficult to control. As a result some weird and crazy stuff comes our way.

This thread was more or less a controlled experiment to see where things might go. The results are not unexpected but interesting nonetheless.

Oh, Marcus, earlier I gave direct evidence which points towards the fact that you are the troll here. You can't see it. You can't accept it. You deflect and project. You might want to do some deep self analysis if that is even possible.

I'm getting weary of this thread at this point. I think it has reached its shelf life.

It may be time to move on, if you are willing.

Regards,
MG

That’s brilliant. Great trolling MG 2.0. A tad obvious but still highly amusing.

That’s brilliant.

Well ...thanks!

Obvious indeed. Especially how he has changed his reason for the thread yet again. How many reasons is that? Three or four? Five?? All different, all stated in an attempt to wriggle (unsuccessfully) out of his various contradictions and mistakes. The "perceived" sexism and other nonexcuses were especially amusing.

He's backed himself into a corner again so we must be getting close to the troll's utterly predictable "time for me to move on" post. Why he finds embarrassing himself so thoroughly is beyond me, but troll research says trolls do it because of their narcissistic and sadistic traits, among other things.
