Sure, log off, sober up, get some help, and when you've done all that, come back and apologize to everyone for wasting their time. Good boy.

Re: Trump's War on the First Amendment
Whiskey, I want to let you know that my grammar may not be flawless and I might make several punctuation errors. Initially, when I began posting to the board, I didn't break my posts into paragraphs due to the difficulty I experience using the stylus that came with my tablet for typing. I have gout, and when my fingers flare up, I sometimes struggle to break down the text in my post. I typically speak into a microphone, then review punctuation, and subsequently divide my post into paragraphs.Whiskey wrote: ↑Fri Sep 19, 2025 2:53 pmThe “you’re AI” line is funny. On the one hand, it could just mean you didn’t misspell a word. Kishkuman had a come apart over that.Hound of Heaven wrote: ↑Fri Sep 19, 2025 11:02 amIt is amusing to see the progressives on the board label anyone they wish to ban from posting as an AI bot or a troll, whichever term you prefer.
Marcus, for instance, she is not only in spirit paradise claiming that I am AI, but she is also juggling a double shift while trailing MG2.0 in the Terrestrial and accusing him of being AI as well. It seems that the progressives often label the conservatives as AI, in addition to referring to them as trolls. It's quite clear what is happening, and I have no doubt that Dr. Shades is smart enough to recognize their strategy.
Marcus, Gadianton, Canpakes Jersey Girl, and others seek to remove any opposing viewpoints on the board. They are willing to deceive and create misleading posters to misrepresent individuals in an effort to convince Dr. Shades to impose a ban based on their distorted definitions. To grasp how Marcus, Gadianton, Canpakes, Jersey Girl, and others unite as a team of progressives to intimidate board members, whether through bans or relentless nagging until they feel discouraged from posting, one only needs to review the board history. It becomes clear, that a small group of individuals views it as a game to target conservatives, who often find themselves outnumbered by 5 to 10 progressives at once. To gain understanding into the progressives on the board, simply refer to pages 250 to 300 of this forum and begin your reading there. Even during the years 2015 to 2017, it was evident that the progressives I referenced were engaging in the same tactics as today, identifying conservative targets and unleashing all their efforts to drive them away or have them banned! It actually become an obsession for them!
Dr. Shades appears to be quite perceptive, and I have no doubt he recognizes their intentions, particularly now that Gadianton senses a threat to his life! Talk about going overboard! Behaving like a total psycho to believe his life is at risk are quite striking! If I'm not mistaken, this is still a discussion board, yes?
Dr.Shades, Marcus has over 50 post accusing MG2.0 of being AI. She's accusing me of being AI. It's almost as if she has to have a board member as an enemy in every forum she post to. Below is a screenshot of a discussion in the Terrestrial and as you can see she is obsessed with accusing board members she hates as AI.

Did Stephen Hawking use AI?
They have consistently criticized my communication style on the board. Some days I'm Atlantic Mike, and then other days I'm not. Some days I am AI, and other days I am not. It doesn't make sense to me because when I review the board history, I feel that my communication style aligns more with ldsfaqs or, well, I can't recall the exact name right now, but there was a guy here who went by Breck or Brack, I'm not sure. I find that my beliefs are more in line with theirs than with Atlantic Mike's.
If you're interested in older board content, take a look at some of the work by a user named Subgenius. He experienced similar criticism and name calling that conservatives on the board face today. Upon examining the board closely, it becomes clear that for the past decade, this forum has consistently featured one or two, occasionally three, conservatives pitted against at least a dozen progressives who are frequently attempting to queue or ban conservative posters. I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago trying to explain that if the progressives wanted more Mormons or conservatives to post so the content here could more inclusive, if they just stopped be hateful, I think more people would post here. But in the past month I think I have really started to understand that the goal of the people who post here isn't to get more people to post, that it's just the opposite. It seems that board members like Gadianton, Jersey Girl, Marcus, Canpakes, DrCam, Schmo, molok, Gunnar, Kishkumen, and a few others prefer the board to consist of around twenty people, and nothing more. Sure, they have their three token conservatives, that being MG2.0, Ajax18 and Ceeboo, but beyond that, I think a lot of their hatred is prevalent on the discussion board because they are literally trying to dissuade people from joining in.
Good luck out there!
Here's a sample of how I used to post. I've come a long way with my fancy tablet!!

Re: Trump's War on the First Amendment
There have been some rather interesting posts following the above exchange. It does seem to have created mass confusion, and it appears to be a very complex dilemma. A mystery, perhaps. Let me try to solve this mystery. Perhaps I should lay out the puzzle pieces on the table to get abroad view of things.ceeboo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 19, 2025 12:21 pmI wonder if there is a way to see if your above claim, that "Megyn recognizes that ousting Jimmy was wrong", is true?
I know, maybe we could see what Megyn said directly from Megyn's mouth.

Yeah, not true.
Gad claimed that Kelly recognized that ousting Jimmy was wrong.
It didn't ring true to me, so I was trying to think of a way to verify such a claim. After racking my brain, I came up with a brilliant idea. Why don't I see what Kelly said about it directly from Kelly's own mouth. So, I posted the video.
At around the two minute mark of the video, Kelly said "Kimmel was accurately and justly taken off the air".
Now, I understand how much value some people place on imagination, but if we were to decide to resist the urge to imagine things for a moment, I think I can nail this down and clean up all the confusion.
Ready?
Gad claimed that "it turns out that even Megyn Kelly recognizes that ousting Jimmy was wrong."
Kelly said "Kimmel was accurately and justly taken off the air."
Now, I hold no PHD's, but even without such a degree, I am going to go out on a limb and publicly admit that I am leaning in the direction that Gad's claim is not true.

Re: Trump's War on the First Amendment
Subgenius used his platform to insist that Trump won the 2020 election and that gay folks are literally brain-damaged deviants. I know that both of those appeal to you, but Bingskey’s gay Swedish cousin (or whatever) might want to have a word with you about the second.Hound of Heaven wrote: ↑Fri Sep 19, 2025 4:40 pmIf you're interested in older board content, take a look at some of the work by a user named Subgenius.

Re: Trump's War on the First Amendment
I did a little follow-up reading (https://www.thewrap.com/jimmy-kimmel-li ... Relief Society-morgan/) and she definitely seems to think ousting Jimmy was the right move. So I don't know what Gad may be referring to, there.ceeboo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 19, 2025 4:50 pmThere have been some rather interesting posts following the above exchange.

However, in the link I just supplied Megyn is doing the very thing Kimmel said MAGA was doing: trying to capitalize on Kirk's murder by painting the killer as indoctrinated by left-wing politics, even though the murderer's political ideology (if any) remains unclear. I don't think he was MAGA, but there doesn't seem to be an indication that he was a leftist, either.
Kelly writes that Kimmel said the killer was MAGA. Is that true?

Re: Trump's War on the First Amendment
Anyone got a clip that supports the above claim?jimmy Kimmel lied about Charlie Kirk’s assassin being MAGA, this caused understandable outrage all over America, prompted TV station owners to say they wouldn’t air him, and he’s now been suspended by his employers,” Piers Morgan stated bluntly on X early Thursday morning. “Why is he being heralded as some kind of free speech martyr?”
I want to hear and watch the words coming right out of Kimmel's own mouth regarding that assertion.
SHOW it to me.
