Thanks for your response.

no need to feel sorry for me, I know what I am getting into here And I am not always so innocent myself...

I definitely think that there are some on here that are not what they pretend to be, yewts in sheep's clothing I would say. But there are others that are exactly as they appear, which is too bad. I dont doubt at all that some of the well known anti LDS bloggers are on here pretending to be BYU fans plus a few UU "fans" just stirring the pot.

I have heard what you posted before but you encapsulated it very well. It is nice to have the information available.

Just looking at the number of POTDs and Thumbs Up you got gives me hope that there are a lot more good posters here than bad ones.

That is a nice out of context statement from you

Maybe because they will make 3x somewhere else AND they won't have the
