You guys are still at it! (why am I not surprised?)

[MG 2.0]

[MG's] backed himself into a corner again so we must be getting close to the [his] utterly predictable "time for me to move on" post.

Fixed it.

Unless you have something else to add...I mean subtract, or scramble up...that time might be quickly approaching. One can only hope, right?

No, you did not quote me. It's dishonest to truncate without ellipses and change words in someone else's post, and then post your changes as a quote of them. Here's what I said:

Obvious indeed. Especially how he has changed his reason for the thread yet again. How many reasons is that? Three or four? Five?? All different, all stated in an attempt to wriggle (unsuccessfully) out of his various contradictions and mistakes. The "perceived" sexism and other nonexcuses were especially amusing.

He's backed himself into a corner again so we must be getting close to the troll's utterly predictable "time for me to move on" post. Why he finds embarrassing himself so thoroughly is beyond me, but troll research says trolls do it because of their narcissistic and sadistic traits, among other things.

Classic trolling.

You said you wanted to move on MG 2.0. All you need to do is ignore me and Marcus…but can you? I’m thinking you don’t want to. You’re enjoying the trolling too much.

To be clear, you and Marcus are the ones that are trolling. I post, you respond. Ignore me. It works both ways. The problem is when someone comes back to continue their false accusations taking things out of context and over uses ellipses time after time.

Again, an interesting thread all the way around. You kept it going and going and going. Rehash after rehash after rehash.

You are in breach of Board Rule 1.

Everyone is welcome. Every opinion is welcome.* Therefore, do not "de-invite" anyone or suggest that they go elsewhere.

So I’ve reported you.

[MG 2.0]

I’ve reported you.

If I've crossed a definite line of impropriety I'm willing to take the heat. As I'm sure others are.

Most often I let things go.

Are we done yet, IHAQ?

Well, it’s not “if” you crossed a line. You did. A moderator has corrected it and removed your inappropriate posting.

Care to admit it was wrong and apologise for it?

Sure. If I said something that was against the board rules and the moderator decided to delete it from the conversation, I am sorry for having made that comment.

Don't take this too far, IHAQ. It will cause others to think that you might be over doing it.

Actually, to be honest, I don't know what the actual comment was that you found so hurtful that it would cause pain to someone else. But I'm sure if a moderator decided to remove it that it must have crossed a line.

If so, again, I'm sorry.

Sage A.I. has you absolutely analysed to perfection.

That’s classic MG 2.0—vague agreement, hedging, and just enough ambiguity to avoid committing to anything.

“If I said something wrong…”
“I don’t know what the actual comment was…”

Classic MG - vague agreement, hedging, and just enough ambiguity to avoid committing to anything.

Yes, I've asked you many times now what you have that you would encourage others to latch onto as their 'north star' to give them meaning and purpose in life besides making it up as you go along...and then you die. Lights out.

I don't think you've given a satisfactory answer as of yet.

Maybe it will come...

Personally, my North Star that gives my life meaning is a treasure digging 19th century con man. Who cheated on his wife with their teenage nanny, threatened his wife with eternal destruction if she didn’t let him marry 30+ more women, destroyed a printing press, declared himself next to Jesus, and couldn’t remember if he saw 1 or 2 people when he saw God. Also he was a world class translator, but only when using that same treasure digging stone in a hat. He also ran a couple failed bank schemes, which only adds to his magisterial aura.

It’s a very reliable and trustworthy North Star, and I dare anyone to find one that makes more sense. Perhaps a talking goat covered in grape jelly.

May I make a suggestion?

According to the canonical Joseph Smith "story" in the PoGP, Joseph, in his own words, did not say he saw God - only that he saw 2 personages.

He did not identify the personages, and neither of the personages identified themselves, nor the other personage.

It's still possible within Mormon beliefs that the personages were other beings who vaguely hinted at being HF and Jesus (the "my beloved son" part). It's even possible that they were Screwtape and Wormwood! As far as I can see, there is no reason to assume that Joseph Smith saw any personages in particular.
