Getting Rid Of Possible Trolls.

[Fiannan]

Okay, amybe I am wrong, but if there are really adult LDS women wondering if wife swaping is okay to do then ...well, I hope I am not being too cynical. The thing is, we get new threads started frequently (generally dealing with sex it seems) by people with one or two posts under their belts. Then we never hear from them again.

Other forums have policies that don't allow new members to start new threads until they have experience -- at least 10 or 20 replies in existing posts. Could we have this? This might get rid of what possibly are 13 year olds sitting around the computer and creating strange threads and then getting a good laugh at the idea that people really think they are real.

That sounds like a great deal to me, Fiannan. It does get annoying sometimes. Like the most recent wondering if it's OK to kiss a married woman... that's not even worth a reply! You know he is full of it.

Although you have a good idea Fiannan, I am surprised that these topics actually bother you....

[shanstress70]

SF, I'm surprised that you would say this. Just because Fiannan has his own ideas about certain things (which I actually admire), and they may not mesh with some of the more stereotypical LDS opinions, I don't think that makes him likely to find swinging acceptable.

oh ok.

BTW, we are working of the troll problem and appreciate the heads up. You don't need to start a thread to tell us though, you can just notify is with a PM or at the bottom 'report this post'.

Thanks for judging someone you don't understand or know. Read my explanation in the "Am I being paranoid thread".

Thanks for giving us a good laugh by your lack of skill :)

I'm thinking that if you were seriously and deeply concerned about this issue--seeking answers and all--and you were rebuffed by your fellow LDS so callously, that you would have left by now. Instead, you seem to be trying to spread guilt, and see how long you can keep this little troll factory producing.

If I'm wrong--do forgive me.

Um, I never said I needed more answers. I only thanked people for what they said.

Yes, I was thinking about just forgetting about this site. However, I searched 3 STRAIGHT HOURS to find a good LDS forum and I thought I found it here. If you know of another one let me know and I'd probaly go over there and not come back, start fresh. And there have been some good people here that gave me straight answers despite their suspicion. There are always going to be trolls on forums, I'm not one of them but when you call me a liar it naturally makes me feel hurt and more than a little angry.

Anthony...this is a good site....the problem is there have been a lot of anti-Mormon coming here in the guise of being members trying to stir up controversy....and when you posted and then we found out you were an RM.....it was kind of hard to believe you would ask a question of us that we feel as an RM you should absolutely know...this is the suspicion....I hope you understand...and forgive us if we have offended you without just cause. I understand you are struggling with this.....don't give up...endure to the end....Please continue to post...you are welcome here in my book.....I trust you brother.

Ah, mellow out, man. Folks here have been burned a few times by people "looking for answers" who turned out to be antis in disguise, so they may be a little quick to draw on a stranger, you know?

Just keep posting and enjoy. You'll soon see that we have a pretty interesting collection of people here, LDS and non-LDS...

Hey thanks Shanstress70! :) I recently heard that Republicans who are more prone to be populist and anti-conformists are being labled McCain Republicans (I have also heard of the phrase South Park Republicans). Maybe we could come up with a lable that takes in such Mormons like J. Golden Kimble Mormons!

But seriously, which are the LDS leaders we look to and admire (at least in secret)? I once showed the 1940s movie Brigham Young to a youth audience (members of one of my son's various organizations he is active in) of non-Mormons and they all thought Brigham Young and Porter Rockwell's characters were way cool. I think everyone whould be open to speaking their mind.

And the only swinging I enjoy is when I take my kids to the playground.

Anthony, I started the "am I being paranoid thread" and was one of the first to be suspicious--and I'm not even LDS. Turns out the other half of my suspicion has born out--the "Am I a loser" is a returned poster who had previous trouble.

Frankly, eyebrows never would have been raised if your post had went something like, "I'm a returned missionary, and there's this married lady in a bad marriage, showing interest in me. I'm pretty sure it would be wrong to pursue, but I really feel for her, and am drawn to her. Recommendations?"

So, perhaps it was just our misreading of your wording, and being gun-shy after several phonies have come through (I find evangelical 'evangelists to LDS' who use deception even more 'irrigating' than most LDS here do), that led us to doubt your post.

You have gotten sound advice, and some compassionate ears. Just keep posting. This is a place with several thoughtful posters from many different perspectives.

And Hermano, any Christian, regardless of church affiliation, will tell you: Flee youthful lusts. I believe Jews and Muslims would join us in that counsel.
