Should I be nicer to Log? I don't think he can help himself.

[_asbestosman]

Over at MADB, I've been on the evolution thread debating whether evolution and LDS doctrine are compatible. I've been getting pretty nasty with Log, but I only get as nasty as the person who I'm responding to. That said, I think I may be a bit too harsh. I don't think Log can help himself. I think he has asperger's or something like that and that his rudeness and condescending behavior isn't something he can change.

Generally the reason I respond in kind is so that people can be aware of how they are comming across to me. However, I don't think that working there. Maybe I actually do it out of pride though--pride in my own ability to stick up for myself when I want to. Maybe all I'm doing is coming across as a Selek or a Pahoran.

Log is BACK?!!!

Oh no!!!!

I don't think I want to look......

He's on the pro-LDS side, and yet he had MAD mods considering the use of Godwin's law in relation to HIS arguments against atheists.
He's - ermm - 'unique'.

It is very hard to be nice to Log. I failed. Lots.

I had forgotten about that thread. That was the one where Structurecop made his statement about atheist philosophy isn't it?

Log doesn't like my pantheistic deism... :-(

That's too bad. The LDS church is fairly unique among Christians in believing that people aren't the only ones with spirits.

I still wonder if viruses have spirits though.

Don't think so. That was a different thread...
That was a thread in terrible taste actually - started days after the VA shootings, where the idea was to make up 'funny speeches' from a theoretical atheist President that could console those who were grieving. I'm pretty sure Structurecop made that comment in there. The one I have encased in my sig on MAD cos the guy is such a f***** dude:

"I wonder what the Anti-Defamation League would have to say about some of the gross misrepresentations of atheist philosophy on this thread." - structurecop.
Log was involved in that one, but was just annoying more than downright insulting as I remember. (He had a big back and forth with Tarski in that one).


I think where he got REALLY bad was a thread about 'How is religion useful' or something like that. Log was just being ridiculously insulting in that one - basically insisting that all atheists - to be consistent - must beleive that mass murder is absolutely fine and that kind of junk. And he managed to get some mod attention with that...
I got pretty 'involved' with him on that one...

...oh no! You think you're gonna be able to sleep tonight?

Viruses are indwelled with the spirit of Sarakiel... or such is my understanding.

Log: "Use a dictionary."

The Dude: "No."


I heart The Dude.

I haven't even read the thread and laughed out loud at this! LOL

Great stuff!

OMG! I relate sooo much to this. Sometimes I think it's best to bow out of those discussions. I'm doing that now with someone here.........

I'm going to go check out that thread. :)

The trouble is that Pahoran probably started out in an innocent way too and for whatever reason grew more abusive. Perhaps nastiness can be a snare for some people. Stay sweet and you will have less 'splaining to in the hereafter.
