    While I believe this particular comment was a troll, I'm old and experienced enough to avoid claiming that no one is really that stupid.

    You probably need to get out more. (should have strike-thru formatting)
    I have a very diverse group of clientele.
    It takes quite a bit to surprise me now though.  As I am quite seasoned.  Hope to retire in 10 years.
    Me, “You did what!?”
     
     
    Edit, I mis-read your reply.  Us old / experienced guys have seen some stuff.

    When people don't follow directions and then complain that the recipe was terrible.

    This happens in the church too.

    Not tasteless, not offensive, not even a joke, but I wanted to share:

    Apparently they have to turn on some sort of machine and technically it leads to some building on said planet.

    It's convenient that the other planet's air pressure just happens to match that in their location, so that you don't get constant wind blowing out or something.

    McConkie was a lawyer. You'd be lucky to get him as defense counsel. As for Packard, he made some good cars back in the day. Later on, I think he and Hewlitt teamed up for some nonsense or other.

    It's fascinating watching GenZ/Alpha starting to expound on stuff they're learning about the BoM.  So much political and social commentary goes with it:

    If the enemy attacks on the Sabbath, you defend yourselves on the Sabbath. Israel should not be waiting until May to respond to such aggressions.

    Vort reacted to Still_Small_Voice in President Holland: A Breather of Holy Fire   
    Listening to Elder Holland's talk, I wonder how much longer he will be with us.  His mortal years may be nearing an end.
    I doubt I have more than 35 years left in my life before I pass on to the spirit world.  Hopefully I can join the saints and prophets in paradise to sing praises to the Holy LORD God.

    Indeed. In reviewing your answer, I didn't see any response to the question of what it is we're supposed to do, which is why I asked again.

    No. Rather, it suggests a teaching given for those who have ears to hear.
    Today's prophets have declared the Adam-God teaching to be false. That could be because it's false in its very nature, or it could be that we today do not have the keys of understanding needed for it, and therefore we interpret it falsely. So to us, i tmay be false, but to someone with the correct key to knowledge, it might well be true and enlightening.
    Clearly you consider yourself one with understanding. That may be the case. But if it is, how is it that you seek to parade your superior status and shame those who do not have that key? Why would you come out in apparent open defiance of the teachings of recent prophets? Just to show your superiority, how much smarter and more spiritually mature you are than the rest of us? Or do you seek to undermine confidence in the words of our leaders, so that we doubt and wonder whom to follow and when? I'm struggling to see how your actions lead anyone to a good end, even if we assume you are actually correct in what you say.
