Re: Nate Send a noteboard - 04/10/2011 03:28:25 AM
I just keep saying nice things about you and yet you seem to want my blood.

Must we really leave civility at the door?


I'm not after any blood. I just frequently dislike your posts, and occasionally get tired of ignoring them. In my opinion they are often the sort of thing that everyone could do without, since you usually seem to come in only three flavours: mean-spirited, misogynist, or vainglorious. I know that not everyone shares my opinion, which really is sometimes something of a shame. I understand that you apparently need the attention of others in order to feel good about yourself and thus bang your spoon on the table whenever you are feeling deprived, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. And honestly it seems to me that you left civility at the door yourself a long time ago and have yet to go properly retrieve it from the rain.

I appreciate nice things said about me as much as the next person, but it's not the sort of thing that usually sways my overall opinion.

"Even Christ didn't do that"? I can't agree. Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:00:34 PM 1196 Views

I understand what both you and Danny are saying LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 12:19:57 AM 1140 Views
Oh, that's very simple Tom - 04/10/2011 04:02:24 AM 1167 Views
I honestly don't know what it would take. Dannymac - 04/10/2011 07:41:55 AM 1137 Views
thank you, both of you LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 01:46:05 PM 1134 Views

Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 1209 Views
I don't think there's much of a difference in crazy as opposed to other more mainstream religions. Vivien - 04/10/2011 07:08:06 PM 1170 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 1169 Views
Then why can't women be priests? Or enter the altar? The curse on Eve is very much in place. *NM* Aeryn - 05/10/2011 12:27:04 AM 631 Views
OK, within the Mormon context I can see that point. Joel - 05/10/2011 12:33:52 AM 1116 Views
They can in quite a few denominations. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:12:35 AM 668 Views
Whoops! You meant in LDS specifically. My mistake. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:14:05 AM 656 Views

Tempting as it is to prove Joel wrong (since he so frequently is), I need to take issue with this. Tom - 07/10/2011 06:59:13 PM 1172 Views
