No, I've made plenty of contributions devoid of attacks and "style points" (whatever those are).

You just choose to ignore them.

Can you direct us to some of them? I seem to remember asking you this before, and I didn't receive a response.

You know how the search feature works, don't you?

Don't get lazy on me, SoCal. I am not your mother.

I did a search for all JohnnyLingo posts with "intelligence" and "coherence" and it came up empty.

I award you ten points for effort.

Perhaps, Mr. Lingo, but in general we do at least aim for civility and substance-based discourse. We await your contribution in that regard.

Wow. High five.

Odd.

I was unaware that every single one of the 600+ posts I've made here were uncivil and completely devoid of substance.

But I suppose being the one to figure that out deserves a high five. Maybe even two.

We await a substantive comment which was not a hidden or direct insult. You may be able to find one, because I can't imagine somebody could post 600 times without substance, but it may be possible.

Once you find it, we would enjoy seeing the effort duplicated.

I've made plenty of contributions to the board.

You've made a few. I seem to recall a few sports posts. The point really isn't whether you are absolutely lacking in substantive contribution. It is why are you so obssessed with whether this board or its members are honest, or hypocritical, etc.? Just like we get that SU is a non-believer, we also get that you have a low opinion of certain aspects of this place. We really get it. We just don't care that you think this. Wwhy do you persist in discussing it? If you continue, you will only find yourself marginalized and either officially or unofficially ignored.

That's why I don't have a problem with Robin. He doesn't believe in the teachings of the Church and he makes no bones about it. I can respect that... he's not pretending to be what he isn't. I even respect SU for being consistent.

People who claim to be open-minded and accepting of other views and are not bother me.

People who claim to be good members of the Church, but are incapable of saying anything good about it and spend their entire time poking holes in every doctrine they disagree with bug me.

I suppose I should work on being less judgmental. :)
