Blixa, I really want to be on a snit perch someday.
I'd ignore the MAD posters. I've been accused of being an anti-Mo there. I'm of satan (thank you Hammer), I hate LDS, I am dishonest (or so it was insinuated because I didn't spill enough of my story to appease someone's appetite), and I am a traitor for posting here.

Well, I suppose you are in good company as Dr. Peterson, The Nehor, and Doctor Steuss all post here as well. I wonder if the MA&Dites consider them traitors too.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO
let me give you my take. first step is to relish the moment when a TBM, especially an apologist, takes offense. Openly laugh at them and make fun of them for feeling persucuted, the babies.. Let it make your day. Then you don't have to worry about the incident, you're superior. Now, the thing is, crazy as it sounds, as soon as you start doing that, they'll be offended less. believe it or not, it's true.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.
LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

I actually defended myself by whining "Well Tarski and consig post there!" *crickets*
:P
*edited to add* You would think they'd be glad to be rid of me! I just waste bandwidth!

Do you think they might accuse them of being Bi-boardal?
After reading this thread, I will now think of Beavis and Butthead whenever I see Merc and Porter post on the same thread.

They've never told me so. In fact when I don't post there for a while twice I've gotten a PM over there making sure I'm okay. Another time they started a thread about me. So either I'm not a traitor or I'm an entertaining circus freak.

If this is the case, part of the offense taken may be manipulative in origin. Once a poster is perceived as being beyond manipulation (through guilt), they stop.
It makes sense when you remember that the only good exmormon is a silent exmormon, and manipulative guilt is one attempt at silencing.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Good morning beastie,
I am sorry, but I disagree with this slightly. I think it is largely futile to try to bridge the gap between some exMormons and Mormons. But, two of my best friends are technically exMormons (although they never “resigned” officially because they really didn’t see any reason to). There are a few exMormons on the various boards that I have a high respect for, and there are a few that at least tolerate me.
Maybe the gap isn’t even there to be bridged. It all comes down to motives. If we can stop trying to re-convert or de-convert each other, we might find that we aren’t all that different.

Us? No. There has been talk about you though. SCMC is watching…
