Not my battle dude ... remember my obsession is in mayan's obsession in jd hate. Through some JD counseling today, I feel cured! (mayan == unjustified spammer, mental ignore). Rosebud == total sour grapes ... mental ignore. Equality was a bit of a surprise for me as you are a typically a poster worth reading. I'm not ready to put you on mental ignore and hope that those personally involved might find some peace and let this bad water pass under the bridge.
My suggestion, let it rest.
p.s. oh and distance yourself as far as possible from mayan/rosebud

Personal animosities and grudges do tend to show up here. I've grown weary of them over the years. They don't seem to ever be resolved and just clutter the interesting conversations here.
I'm sure everyone involved has their point of view, but it gets ugly when the combatants start using in real life names.
I think they should take it outside. I suggest that they PM each other and agree to meet in a dark alley behind some bar. There, they can duke it out without dragging the rest of the board down with them.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Ok. Sorry. Won't do it again.
Quick question. If people slander me with unsubstantiated claims, can I use their real names on this board without ever connecting their alias to their real names? Seems only fair.
So an example would be to share my experiences with or opinions about [real name deleted], [real name deleted], and [real name deleted] without ever tying their names to their aliases?

mormonstories, you are really acting oddly. what is slanderous?

Equality wrote:Good questions, Newt. As you point out, JD has now escalated things by implying that I slandered him, I think I am entitled to know exactly what he is referring to. He says he only used someone's real name in this thread as retaliation for the person slandering him. Slander is a serious accusation (actually, I think it would be libel on a discussion board, but I don't want to be pedantic). What have you got, mormonstories? Care to retract your allegation? Or do you really want to keep going down this road?
Edited to add: For the record, you first revealed my real name on page 5 of this thread. The only comments I made in this thread prior to you revealing my real name were as follows (perhaps you can point out where you think I "slandered" you in these comments):
On page 3, I said, in correcting Jesse Pinkman's misstatement that you founded the New Order Mormons:
Equality wrote:Dehlin did not found the New Order Mormon movement. He may want to give people the impression that he did, but he most certainly did not.
Do you consider this statement slanderous?
On page 5, I posted excerpts from two online articles about narcissistic personality disorder, without mentioning you by name and without any additional commentary from me. Just quotes and links. Did you consider the posting of those excerpts slanderous? If so, please explain. If not, how can you say that posting my real name was in retaliation for a slanderous statement?
mormonstories, bumping for you to answer. If you are going to repeatedly accuse me of slander, please be specific. Point it out or cut it out. You are embarrassing yourself.

Honestly. Just about the only thing uglier a man can do to a woman than what you have already done to me is to do what he can to shame her publicly in a way that she can't escape from on Google. The world gets how things work out differently for women than they do for men. You've intentionally taken plenty of advantage of that fact already.... starting with sweeping me under the rug and silencing me, then moving on to bringing the church into it through your whatever-that-was strategic repentance thing. Your most creative blow was that preemptive "faith reconstruction" podcast. If you can podcast strange narratives to tens of thousands of people in order to try to build a story to protect yourself from someone who didn't have any intention to attack you and honestly wanted you to just stop retaliating and figure out how to treat her professionally because she had work she wanted to do, you can chill when people call you out on dishonesty on a message board.
You won't look good for moving forward with this plan and I don't think it's going to help you keep your psychology license. You'll go from looking like a perpetrator to looking like an (insert whatever profanity you prefer here) perpetrator.
Don't go asking mods for permission to finish what you've already attempted to begin. This is bigger than a message board.
And let's not get as ugly as starting to substantiate the thus far unsubstantiated. Think. For now the worst of the information is only going into a document that will be locked away from the public. You have a tendency to escalate but you can de-escalate if you choose. You did it for the church. Do it again.
You're not feeling well because your big long term plan hasn't worked. Get up and walk away from the computer. Leave my name off this thread.
Tomorrow is a new day. Just solve your problems, take care of your beautiful kids and be responsible. It really is that easy. People will chill if you chill. What's wrong with just doing a podcast and working? Why do you need to play the leader and keep bringing the bigwigs into everything?

Since they don't use their real names on this board, I respectfully request that you use their chosen screen names, and not anything else, when referring to them on this board. That's an even better way to avoid connecting their aliases to their real names, methinks.
Thank you.
(Mayan Elephant and Rosebud: It will take a bit of time to delete your real names, but please rest assured that they will be deleted.)

So to be consistent, from now on can you forbid them from using my real name?
I think your obvious attempts to get banned from the board so you don't have to answer the questions posed to you have failed. Please go ahead and point out any statements I made in the first five pages of this thread that you considered slanderous and that justified (in your mind) the violation of board rules about posting the real names of people posting here under pseudonyms. Or, in the alternative, if you have had a chance to review the posts and have concluded (as any reasonable person would) that I said nothing slanderous about you, please go ahead and retract your accusation. Thanks.
