mentalgymnast and ldsfaqs. What a pair.
Oh. my. gosh. I must have written hundreds of posts about and to faqs by now and no way have I ever seen it stated so succinctly in one paragraph, particularly the part I pumped up.
I only wish I could I nail it like that.

Yes, the Doc really called it, didn't he? if you're interested the rest of his post that I excerpted this from is near the top of p. 4 in this thread.

Put them downstairs where exactly?

Okay, forget it. I don't give 2 craps where the threads were relocated. Just quickly scanning this thread, it's the SSDD as the last thread of yours I looked in on.
That is to say. It's all about you. It's crap.
Post on topic and get over yourself already.

Put them downstairs where exactly?
grindael started a thread with some research from the article he has had accepted for publication, mental trashed it so he abandoned it and started over; mental stalked him to the next thread and repeated this process, eventually trashing 7 full threads; Shades collected all mental's nonsense into one thread and put it in Telestial, here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44421 , titled: MG trolling grindael.
mg's customary imaginary re-write to soothe his guilty conscience and his customary announcement to the board that everyone hates him and he's gonna go eat worms is this thread here. grindael's research post, which is really a treat to read, by the way, can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=44423
mentalgymnast's behavior throughout the whole debacle was shameful, here's what he said to grindael that I just cannot get past (My comments before and after):
And then MG says this about grindael's research, which, by the way, has been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, coming out spring 2017:
mentalgymnast to grindael, behaving like an ass, wrote:by the way, loser, we are already well aware that you don't believe in the Divine calling of Joseph Smith...so what's your point in preaching to the choir? You already know you're gonna just get high fives. So what's your point? Much ado about nothing, isn't it?
Not that the history isn't interesting in some respects.
That's it? It's just interesting? That's what drives you?
Who says stuff like that? Who mocks people's work like that? How can he possibly call someone a loser, mock their academic work by attempting to use 'interesting' as a slur, and then start his own thread about how he is a victim of bad behavior at this board? That is monumentally rude and sick.

Not me. Not even. grindael's. He's got mega amounts of research under his belt. I know you meant to say grindael, but in all fairness I better point this out. We don't want folks to think I'm a scholar.

Hi Jersey, nice of you to drop in. Tell me what you think after reading the link 'down under'. Crazy stuff. Really, much ado about very little. As is par for the course. I don't blame you, however, if you decide to skip the drama. As you said SSDD.
