Sure, Rocky. Whatever.

Hey, while you and Jay are at it, can you tell me why I like chocolate ice cream? Or blackberry cobbler? I've always wondered. Thanks in advance.

Well I could use both, but I don't want anybody here to accommodate me.

As I analyze Jay's and Rocky's arguments, they are not the same.

Rocky views everything Seattle states as an attack against the Church he left. His view of Seattle is so narrow that he is unwilling to examine each argument for its own sake. Certainly, one can see a slant depending upon the poster, that is a fair way of reading boards. However, one misses the richness of Seattle's or anybody else's thought by doing that.

Santos views Seattle as a jerk and a lawyer, not certain which he detests more. It appears lawyers more, but in past discussions it is clear, because he refuses to understand how lawyers operate and how we can separate ourselves from our personal morality when addressing the morality of our clients, that he finds the mere fact of advocacy for a person he considers immoral, an immoral act. Thus, Seattle suffers from the double whammy of advocating, an immoral act in and of itself, a non Church position, another immoral act.

It seems that neither wish or could befriend somebody who isn't friendly toward or respectful of the Church. There are probably many people who share that view. There, it's clear as mud to this befuddled soul.

Mine would lull you to sleep and then the singing turtles would attack.

Maybe you should get a set.

That gives you way too much leverage on the slippery slope. Technically speaking, you could call President Hinckley an old cancer patient and Elder Monson a fat lard if you really wanted to, and hide behind your disclaimer about having the balls to call it like it is.

Or you could take President Hinckley's recurring admonition to return evil speaking with loving kindness, to respond to venom with love....and then boast because I didn't call ____ a prick, I'm a good holy man.

You've built yourself a win-win situation, congratulations.

So many come here over cougarboard because they find it to be a better community, a better place to have discussions etc.

Why do some of these same people then mock others for being banned from cougarboard? Is it something to be ashamed of? Jefe sucks, and so does his little mickey mouse club.

I have a slight hunch you are talking about me. My jab at Santos earlier today was purely tongue in cheek.

Not you as much as Seattle Ute. The irony of it all is quite amusing.
