Actually, if nobody posted a large section of the same information more than once, it might actually advance the conversation.
There is a point that a posting goes from being informative to being simply annoying. Annoying never accomplishes it’s purpose, unless the purpose is to annoy, aggragate, and turn people off from your argument.
And your claim is to want to persuade, not alienate.

Elsie is not annoying to me...

Looks like the majority want Elsie to continue...

I know I can come across wrong sometimes. When in the midst of these debates, one can get attacked personally, or your ideas are attacked.
Sometimes I react in anger, or sarcasm, or humor. Other times I just let it go.
Sometimes I apologize if I felt I was wrong, or cruel. People on FR (and I have been here awhile) think of me differently depending on the subject and how we interact. Some like me, some do not.
Same for all of us.
Those that don't like me have no trouble telling me. Also, the way one comes across on the forum is not necessarily your total personality - although it can be a reflection of it.
I have to tell you this.
You mostly come across (to me anyways) as very arrogant. I think you believe that because you write some column (what it is I don't even know) - that you are superior to the Bourgeoisie Freepers.
Moreover, almost every one of your posts is dripping with condescension. Just my opinion.
Have you ever received this kind of feedback before?
Hey, like I said - I am far from perfect - so you can rail away at my faults. This is just an observation.
In MY opinion, the "Pasha of Pontification" is one of the major annoyances on FR on thread after thread after thread.
And your claim is to want to persuade, not alienate PONTFICATE.
You have hit it!
I tend to REALLY annoy LDS members when they CANNOT answer the question.
If it gets rubbed in their faces too much; too bad; it's NOT my 'testimony' that suffers because of it.
Sorry; but they are all ready alienated... from GOD!
Job 40
1. The LORD said to Job:
2. "Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"
It is not MY organization that has said that GOD cannot keep HIS word complete!
It is not MY church that says the gospel of the BIBLE is in need of restoration!
It is not MY GOD that says HE'll save me; after all I can do!
When you post this exact post to the mormon brigade...I will believe you.
