To not even discuss the cover-up afterward is a blatant admission of bias. Wow, 400 pages without even touching the meat of the issue.

Your bias is readily apparent.

The meat of the issue? Are you trying to be obnoxious?

It's his character. His apostosy knoweth no boundaries, but he doesn't have the charm of Seattle, or the education.

I'm not sure he's apostate. My recollection is that he was never a member, which makes it worse in my mind. If somebody in your family is obnoxious and insulting to others in the family, it is annoying, and you try to convince them to behave, but they're still family at some level and you let them hang around becasue, who knows, maybe they'll get their act together eventually. WHen somebody walks in off the street and starts insulting everyone, you simply throw them out.

Is it just me, or is Margaret Toscano making a cottage industry out of apostate victimhood?

I don't have much reason to care about hyrum's posts either way, but I'm beginning to think he must have been beaten up by Mormon bullies as a child. This board serves a safe mechanism to lash out without risking having his lunch money stolen again.

Hyrum, if I'm mistaken, which I suspect I am, what's up? why hang around with company you really don't seem to enjoy much?

Did you somehow miss that bit about the second book?

Poor Hyrum. If he can't come here to express his blatant anti-Mormon bias, where can he go?
