There is no benefit of the doubt, innocent until proven guilty there. Everyone is suspect until they've fried enough critics to be accepted.


I love to fry antiMormon critics (and eat them for breakfast)!

However there is, sadly, an element of truth in your words. When I first came to AOL's now defunct LDD board some years ago, despite the fact that I was "frying" critics right and left, I was accused by some who I thought were fellow TBM's of being gay within a week, and that despite my outspoken arguments against that deep, dark, and abominable lifetsyle choice.

Better have your bloodwork done. All those fried critics can't be good for your heart.

A fate worse than death, to be sure.

That's why I prefer catch and release.

BC, we accept you for who you are. No need to be outspoken about anything. All can have their counterpart on equal terms.

Tal Bachman just got another warning from one of the Moderators on the MA&D Board. Here is what the Moderator named 'Argos' wrote to Tal Bachman over there:

Mr. Bachman:

Lose the condescension. It's not as cute as you seem to think it is.

-- Argos, Moderator


Here is the URL to that Discussion Thread Page over there: http://www.mormonapologetics.org/index. ... 045&st=340


Yeah,

It's just a matter of time now for good ol' Tal. The funny thing (I guess not so funny, more like standard operating procedure) is that Pahoran and Juliann are being the King (and Queen of Condescension) over there. Of course nothing said to them.


I think of it as unethical irony.

Hi Jersey Girl,

The link you gave did not work for me -- said “page could not be found.” Perhaps it didn’t work for me only since I am not registered “to see” that.

It’s not important to me, but I was just reading your posts. All the abbreviations which people use are often unknown to me. So clearly, I don’t belong here.

The MA&D moderators have set their board up so that links from here to there do not work. It's their narcissistic and passive-agressive way of punishing us for our mere existence. Ergo, you'll have to copy-&-paste the link into a new browser window.

Of course you belong here. Why would you think otherwise?
"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?"

Hello JAK!

The links to the MAD (Fomerly FAIR) board don't work on this board due to some sort of reverse voodoo curse ;-) that board put on their links in an effort to keep people on this board from linking to this board. So, it's not you, my friend, it's those of us who met with disdain in the eyes of the folks who operate that board.

Abbreviations...you know the typical abbreviations such as TBM, ex-Mo and that sort of thing. RFM is the Recovery from Mormonism Board (if you want to see that board you can just search on "Recovery Board" and it will come right up. MAD is formerly FAIR, now known as Mormon Apologetics Discussion board or some such thing.

If you start reading about this drama it becomes as addictive as watching the soaps!

In my post there was a poster named "Tal Bachman". The best that I know....Tal Bachman is the son of musician Randy Bachman of Bachman Turner Over Drive and is a musician in his own right. Tal is an ex-Mormon who posts on RFM. He recently started posting on MAD and apparently made the locals somewhat nervous because they started issuing warnings from the outset and it looked like they were setting him up to ban him.

This isn't unusual for that board. They shoot at anything that looks like it might challenge them (read: make them look bad).

I welcome your presence here and if this board ever get's a threaded view some folks will see what you can do with a topic! I live for it! Unfortunately, we'd also have to pay for it and so far the only posters who have been interested in a threaded view here are myself and marg ;-) Can't imagine why!

It must have something to do with coveralls. We should ask Packer!

If you're referring to marg and I both being interested in the threaded view...it has to do with history.

Thanks for the information Jersey Girl. I’m not addicted. A “thread view” would be a significant improvement. It would reduce a post with multiple quotes unnecessary -- such as happened here for my short return.
