Following is the text of a post I just deleted by NightSG: Quote:Orson wrote:If someone openly acknowledges they are gay that means they believe it is okay to have sex with anyone [any man?] they choose? If I openly acknowledge that I am straight does that also mean I believe it is okay to have sex with any woman that I choose?
This ignores the most important question; will both options still be available for the new sexual promiscuity merit badge?
(Finally, there would be one that no kid wants leaders to just sign off on requirements that aren’t really properly completed yet.)
Earlier this week Roy deleted a post by NightSG that was similarly snarky. In that case the wording had to do with it being standard that the church encourages women to marry abusive men and stay with them eternally (I don’t recall the exact wording).
Up until this week NightSG’s posts have been more of the normal variety we see here. I am sending a short “knock it off” PM. From those with more experience, is there cause for additional concern?
Definitely keep an eye out. We all go through moods but if it becomes a habit… Good call. There is a difference between venting, a snarky comment and a pattern of regular snark.

Mind you, she’s not wrong.

She is a he and the way it was worded was as if almost every LDS woman was in that situation. It was in response to SD’s question about his daughter and was worded something like “Just follow the standard and tell her to marry an abusive man who everybody knows is abusive….” and went on a bit from there. I understand this actually does happen, but it is not standard. My real thing with it and the other post was that it sounded more like something we might see on NOM as opposed to here. My son’s soccer coach is known to say “Right message, wrong tone” somewhat frequently. I think it applies. Night’s other post today looks fine, perhaps the message was received.

Yes, as I remember this, it was a sweeping generalization that the standard LDS experience was to marry an abusive spouse and be pressured into staying.
I consider myself pretty patient and had never before deleted a comment but I just found it way over the top.
