Wow, another dig! And yet more evidence that gossip is rank in Mopologetic circles.


The person I was speaking about is on the "pro-Mormon" side. And if I mentioned his/her name, that would be rather unfair to him/her. It happens. Yes, the mentally ill have access to the internet and message boards found therein. Yes, mental health symptoms, such as severely disjointed thinking, paranoia, etc., can influence their interactions on those boards. Shocking, I know.

I am wrong based on what? There are two possibilities, so far as I can tell, ALitD: You were trying to insult GIMR, or you came in assuming that many of the posters on this forum are/were "mentally ill."


I gave you the correct answer, which isn't listed among your possibilities. More and more, it appears as though you are the one who is prejudiced.

No I didn't. Even if you fault me for being overly aggressive, you are still wrong here. I think the problem here is that you just have terrible reading comprehension skills.


Maybe you should try to be less aggressive, which might make it easier to understand you. Just saying.


Yes, and since it is transparently obvious that this is a sojourner from MAD, s/he should tell us his/her screenname, because otherwise it makes it seem as if s/he has something to hide. Just tell us, ALitD.

Anyway, I didn't accuse you, Will -- if anything I complemented the person who started this thread. That was a mistake and I take it back.

I don't think it's YH8 or Log. It's a topic either of them would like to start, but they both have a different style. Of course YH8 would engage in mind reading, and Log's posts would be as short as possible in order to protect himself from revealing a logical weakness. ALITD has no such restraint.

It's a mystery that is far more interesting than ALITD's ill-conceived attack on atheism.

So, it was intended as a compliment ... to me?

Fine. I'm starved enough for compliments that I guess I'll take it.

I'm still a little hurt that, after all we've been through together in the past year, you could so quickly revert to accusing me of sockpuppetry again. I thought we'd gotten past that.

But I'm willing to let bygones be bygones, since you kind of said you were sorry -- in a roundabout sort of way.

Anyway, what do you think of my sig line? Isn't that the funniest thing you've seen this week?

Edit: Whoops, I didn't notice that you had commented on my sig line. I think I'll put it on my MAAD sig line, too.

More ad hominem. It's getting redundant.


You don't know what this term means. Stop using it.

I'm pretty certain I know who you were talking about, and unless you are juliann or Pahoran, then you derived your information via rank gossip. I believe you are also mistaken in reading this person as "pro-Mormon."

Finally: Let's have out with it. What is your MAD screenname?

You're wrong, and I'd rather not play around in innuendo when I was just making an abstract point about having experience with mental illness explaining some posters' ...ahem... difficulties.
