Hey, Bob---

You forget to add a category for those pro-LDS posters who are "scholarly," but who dishonestly manipulate sources.


Nah, he didn't leave it out. Its a primary assumption given as a matter of fact.

You forgot that you weigh 500 lbs and can't move under your own power.


He weights 800 lbs.....get it right Nehor! ;P

And silentkid forgot to mention that he doesn't rewind videos (he's the last guy to not have a DVD player) and that his masturbation is taking him steadily toward homosexuality......of course he's a 35 year old virgin so at least he'll be the celibate homosexual guy that LDS love.

As to those who tend to post posts favorable to the Church and who claim to be faithful, these fall into the following categories:

1. True believers who want to support and defend. They almost always ill-educated and shallowly-read.

2. Academics who waste their time and their employer's money spending time in posts defending the Church. But, they have the intellectual horses to do so and contribute occasionally.

3. The witty and urbane, who post merely to see their witticisms rather than contribute anything.

4. The smug, the self-righteous.

5. The dilettante, the accomplished in some profession or field, who contributes, but who is an amateur in academics. I frankly cannot see why such a person would spend any time on a board like this, but they do.

6. The mean, the malicious, the combatant.

I think I qualify as #1, 3, 4, and 6.

This brought a smile to my face as I thought of people from MAD to plug into these various categories.


Okay, if you were given a MAD IQ test in which you had to plug the following posters into these categories and do so in under five minutes to receive a food pellet, which categories would you assign them to?

Bishop Peterson
Juliann
Charity
Pahoran
Smac97
Wade
California Kid
The Dude
Bond
Severian
Asbestosman
Bokovoy
Hamblin
