We're being mocked (Baurak Ale and the Kerry Shirts thread)

[_Runtu]

Here's what our friend Baurak Ale posted over on the MAD board:

I was curious to venture out of the confines of MADB where I feel all snugg and safe like I am wrapped up in cotten wool and contribute to a thread on the anti-mormon board 'Mormon Discussions'. The thread I contributed to was "Welcome question for Shirts: Where is the stone box?"

However after I with great regret informed them that the stone box containing the Golden Plates had actually been discovered albeit empty and it's in the historical record the thread, sort of went around in circles then down a tangent. I informed them I had to tell them because if I didn't someone else would without being so gentle.

However the thing I noticed was that they wouldn't allow a TBM to have the last word on the thread, so I decided to make this thread my little sort of experimental hobby horse the kind Bruce R. McConkie said we should have or something like that. So I set up camp, with sleeping bag and all deciding I would be there till the bitter end to have the last word. I wanted to see how die hard they would be on having the last word, they were quiet persistent I was fascinated. Didn't seem to matter how digressive, how far the tangent went, no matter the depth of irrelevancy, no matter how many circles the comments went in.

They seemed to be determined to have the last word. Inorder to have the last word the threads subject changed from "Welcome question for Shirts: Where is the stone box?" to what does Christ Look like, to my astral travel jaunts to the CIA Mormon Astral Traveler David Morehouse. And so far I still have the last word. I suppose if it goes on any longer I will say No to the power of 10 to whatever you say, just like I did when I was 10 and argued with my sister.

I for one am willing to let you have the last word, BA. :-)

When's he going to threaten to take his ball and go home?

Interesting.

On page 2 of this forum, i see that TBM's have the last word on 8 of the 50 threads on that page. Or about 16%. That's probably about the ratio of TBM's to critics on the board as a whole. So it looks about right to me.

I'm just wondering where BA gets the idea that TBM's can't have the last word on a thread.

And I'm guessing the same ratio would hold up at MAD as well.

For what it's worth, I think the "last word" phenomenon knows no religious boundaries. It's just human nature to want to add to the conversation, or even Trump the whole thing.

Is not.

Ah, the gauntlet has been thrown to Baurak Ale. Will he come back with double infinity?

Personally, I have mixed feelings when I see I've had the last word on a thread. I sometimes imagine people rolling their eyes and thinking "Dude, enough already. Can't you see nobody is interested in the topic anymore?"

Heh, it's even worse when you go to another board and start the topic all over again. Nice one, Baurak Ale.

I remember that they accused you of throwing in the towel because you let David Wright have the last word in the Pundits forum. So, you're screwed either way.

I think his name was David Wrong. No, wait, it was David Stewart.
