From TroutBum:
My dearest Dalamon,
I was in the middle of responding to those butt ****s when I was banned, so my message didn't go through. Would you be a dear and simply copy/paste this into the Mormon Temple Ceremony thread? Thanks my friend. May Gordon bless you with long days and pleasant nights.
Typical trout. He will offend everybody else in the world about anything but once he gets attacked, its incredibly personal and
Uncalled for. Prick.
The first part is right on, I can and will offend everyone. That's the beauty of being a douchebag, I'm an equal opportunity hater. The second part, however, is pure rubbish. First of all, nobody attacked me. Nobody attacked anything that even resembles me. I assume that because I'm a badass Mo, you thought that I was butt hurt about the video? Wrong. If someone wants to spend their time watching that crap, then go for it. What does, in fact, hurt my butt is the fact that many people in this thread stated that it would be horribly offensive to a majority of the people here, and even a mod piped up and said if anyone posted it that he'd remove it. My butt aches because someone actually had the balls to do just that, post it, and then act like they didn't do anything wrong. It's not about attacking Teh Mormonz!, it's about doing something prickish in order to offend a crap load of people. Like I said, I'm a douchebag and I'm game to go the rounds with anyone, but there are places that even douchebags don't go.
Its like Isaac Hayes (Chef) [RIP] quitting South Park only after they mocked Scientology... but not before they had systematically mocked pretty much everything and everyone else out there. Everything's fair game but what you're sensitive to... right
No, not everything is fair game, which is why you don't see Jew jokes, or black jokes, or pictures of posters families -- unless you're Pearla Watson, in which case it's totally cool to post pictures of other peoples families to "teach them a lesson" -- or any other crap that should and is off limits. Do people go over that line occasionally? Yup. Will I be there to call them a prick and or flex my awesome rep power at them? Yup.
So you objected to that video being posted here? I'm not being facetious i'm sincerely asking.
Would you object to Scientogist ceremonies being revealed too? Or only religions you decide you respect. It just seems like an arbitrary line to draw. And to act like its morally apprehensible to share the video seems like strange ground to stand on.
The advocate of the trolls! ... and the sanctimonious. Why not let other people reach their own decisions.
But really I have no beef with you. Do not want to start a flame war, that's for sure
How do you have 900+ posts? I've never read a single comment from you that made me think, "Hmmm, this dude is interesting. I'll at least remember his name/avatar/style." That is to say, you're pretty forgettable. But now all of a sudden you're an obnoxious bitch, which on top of being forgettable and/or not funny/interesting/cleaver/worth engaging, is a horrible place to be. You'll never get into the 20's with that combo. Send a PM to PKM and ask him how to win, ok?
As for shaky ground to stand on I disagree. Affording people respect is not shaky ground.
Truth.
I don't think exposing the ceremony is offensive in and of itself. The question was whether it would be offensive to posters on this site. The answer to that question is yes.
I don't think saying the F word is offensive, but I think it would be offensive for a person to go into a religious building and start loudly saying the F word. It's also offensive if someone has asked you to stop and you continue doing it (depending on circumstances, of course).
Correct and correct.
Not my message board so peeps have every right to determine what's on here. The videos out there if people want to look it up anyway
There's also a lot of kiddy porn out there too. Why don't you just post some up, you know, since it'll really incite a lot of amazing conflict and angst. F them, you won't do what they tell you.
THE END.
