I have may Monty, which would explain why I don’t respond for “months”… perhaps it is you that should seek interests outside this cyber-world you call “home”. These are “real” people you are interracting with, you know… just like the ones that deliver your groceries.
Get it?
Get out.
Wearywitch.
ooh, ooh, ooh, let me correct myself before someone fixates on my grammar and misses my “quote”: may = many. MANY apologies.
Okay, 'witch. I gave it a couple of days to see if you actually did have a bit of ethics within you. Apparently not.
Define “spouts forth.” I neither witness nor harass. I answer questions with the actual truth to the particular answers. I have never made an assertion on this board that any of my church’s teachings are the truth. What I have done is describe the practices and what the members of the church believe those teachings to be.
You’re doing naught but casting names. Prove this statement or retract it. Do the same with the previous quote to whilst you’re about it.
And a further note: your sole hobby on this board appears to be stalking me. If you got anything to say, say it with honesty. Or shut up!
A couple of days… I will reiterate: I don’t LIVE at my computer - I have a life beyond my terminal. I won’t touch on “ethics” at this time because you and I don’t agree on “ethical behavior” - that’s another discussion for another day. “Spouts Forth” … Yes, Monty you do - you witness and you harass. You answer questions with actual truth to the particuar (answers?) questions in your own exaggerated opinion and self-righteous “way”. You have made many assertations on this board relative to your church and it’s “truth” - maybe you aren’t even aware of how you demonstrate those beliefs (your beliefs)… I am not “casting names” - I am not a “stalker” - I have taken to your posts because you are exactly the person that persecuted me the first time I ever posted… and I will not let that go. Maybe I am waiting for you to seem human. You are intelligent, well-read, and well-versed in your postings - you evidently have A LOT of time on your hands - but I will not back down, will not stop responding to the posts of my personal interest - despite other’s posts that “back you”. Sorry, but this is personal. PS - you will probably not hear from me again for a few days as “life goes on”. Happy Easter .
After reading your little rant here (oooh, crimson!), I went and researched your beef with Monty, only to find that you’re a complete moron (note for the slow: not mormon). I think he’s behaved slightly jerky in this thread, but your initial exchange with him was all you, for what it’s worth. You did the exact things he accused you of. You attacked his faith, you posted garbage about the LDS church with some lame, “I know this because I have LDS friends” appeal to authority (and if that wasn’t an appeal to authority, why did you mention it at all?), and you couldn’t handle it when it was pointed out that you don’t know what you’re talking about. In short, you acted like an ignorant fool, and he rightfully ripped you a new one for disparaging his religion in the process. Then your pride was so hurt, you went into a couple other threads just so you could make snide comments about him (all the while accusing him of being the one who only takes “potshots”).
It takes a special kind of dumbshit to claim that all mormons are “religious freaks” and then start shouting about people being “self-righteous” when you’re called on it. Not wanting to be called names makes one self-righteous? Or is it merely the act of pointing out what an ignorant asshole you are?
Do you plan to make a contribution to this thread other than your personal vendetta against Monty? No? Then you’re a useless jerk and I cordially invite you to Shut The Fuck Up.
PS. What the hell does that 2nd quoted sentence even mean?
Now that the posting above’s been posted, I wished that I had come here back at 4 am my time when I’d read wearywitch’s very nice e-mail to me; said e-mail which she sent a couple of hours after she’d posted her last one above and made the comment I’m going to make below to “forfend” (SDMB jargon) postings such as ntucker’s.
Anyway, although I disagree with what she’s said in that posting (especially what she said in that posting) and I disagree with a bit of what she said in the e-mail (that’s between her and me), she did reach out to me in an e-mail after it was posted. I will not share what she said in that e-mail other than that there was an obviously sincere effort to alleviate rancor and a very sincere wish for me to have a happy Easter.
So, if you feel like ripping her a new one over what she’s said to me above, go ahead; however, I’ll consider it tacky, very tacky.
I missed something in nt’s post: You might think I’ve behaved slightly jerky, but your opinion is not well-thought out. I have not behaved jerkily. That would be a difference of opinion, but in my case, the opinion’s based on fact, not wishing.
Do you have some magical insight into my thought processes or lack thereof? I’m not trying to make a provable point here – I’m just expressing my opinion – so I haven’t expounded on my reasoning. If your opinion differs, that’s fine, but claiming your opinion is based on facts and mine’s not (and therefore is dismissible) is stupid, arrogant, and pure bullshit.
If you’re interested in why I think you’re being jerky in this thread, I’d be happy to tell you, but I didn’t think it was particularly relevant.
I did not make any assertion at all that you did not think. I made a conclusion as to the quality thereof based on its output. I believe I’ve already made the point that I’m not interested at all in your opinion.
Yes, you made the brilliant conclusion that since my opinion doesn’t agree with yours, it must not be based on facts, and you’re not interested in considering otherwise. The sign of a truly open-minded individual.
Monty, if you ask me, telling someone their opinion is “not well thought out” is slightly jerky.
Of course, you didn’t ask me.
I will tell you I “loathed” Monty from the “get go”…
I will tell you I am still apprehensive …
But I will tell you, he is brutally frank, and he doesn’t leave one single stone unturned.
Monty is the most consistent and “un -diplomatic” (refreshingly so) respondent I have observed on this d/b - and while I do not agree with him (most of the time) - I must admit he knows his “sh*6”…
Weary;.
Further, I am looking forward to his response to the email I sent him “personally”… in fact, I am counting on it. I think Monty is one of those people you either love or you hate… I am also one of those people… You either love me, or you hate me - there is NO middle ground, because no one sticks around long enough to see it, wahahaha!. I don’t care. Don’t think Monty cares either. We’ll wake up with the ones that “matter” - and say a prayer for those who dont.
Shelleigh-pagan-chick-who-loves-Jesus… HEY! theres a message board for ya!
