LadyOfRadiantJoy

I had the same feeling. (Or, “I have a bad feeling about this.” )

Thanks for the notice, nibbler.

I too am feeling a little uneasy with the Lady.

I don’t worry about the farms type guy. At least he was framing his BoM evidence as “a possible location” or “a good candidate for” or “plausible”. I appreciate the willingness for there to be room for other views in those framings.

Roy – Well played.

I will be steering clear of rross. It’s safer for all of us.

Roy he is all yours

Curt you can have LadyOfRadiantJoy – (That name sounds so Camelotish.) (Her hand will rise up out of the lake and snatch the sword from Merlin…never mind.)

In the Theology of Star Wars thread there is a rant about priesthood. I’m actually fine with the rant (or maybe it’s just venting). I don’t inordinately disagree with the post. My question is about it being in the right place. After the quote, it has nothing to do with the theology of Star Wars. A gentle reminder to stay on topic and maybe this would be suited to it’s own thread?

FWIW, Lady’s other response in the same thread right next to the one referenced above makes no sense to me, but many of her posts don’t so I’m OK with it.

A couple of rrosskopf’s most recent comments pushed my buttons hard. I wrote a personal response to him about his characterization of his wife in one thread, and I wrote an admin note in the Promised Blessings post directed at his comment, as well. I didn’t hold back in either one.

Let me know if I crossed the line with either comment. I don’t want his blaming approach on this site.

PS. I just read and responded to some more of his comments. He is a judgmental, orthodox member whose comments generally don’t fit our mission. I will try to handle him appropriately (to walk the talk with a difficult person), but I have to admit he pushes pretty much all of my buttons.

Rross pushes my buttons too, that’s why I’ve been more hands off. Roy directing him to the etiquette thread was good – I still don;t know that he gets it. Of course I don;t know that he read the thread either. He’s the kind of guy that shuts others down in priesthood discussions just because they’re not complete BRM orthodox. Of course in priesthood meeting I have allies and we’re not afraid to fire back and they’ll come back to church anyway. I honestly do appreciate the more orthodox point of view sometimes – I was sincere when I said that in one of the threads because we can be an echo chamber sometimes. On the other hand, judgmental “This is God’s plan, how can you even question it” type statements always push my button. I don’t have a high EQ, I recognize that as a weakness and I do work at it – and I know that I’ve chased off orthodox posters before.

Just as a side note here, Amy did a very similar thing in another thread where she talked about the sister missionary they basically forced into the get up at 6:30 no matter what style while at the same time saying we shouldn’t do stuff like that. I going to point that out, I just need to breathe and choose my words.
