ALL: Notice the air of Mormon elitism in Ripliancum's comment.
When BYU's newspaper highlighted this Mormon Times & Seasons award back in 2010 -- Reid awarded 2009 ‘Mormon of the Year’; students unsure -- we don't have Mormons going around accusing fellow Mormons of "dragging up" (implied) obscure blog sites. Do we?
Did you do that then Ripliancum? (I don't think so)
Or, perhaps, Rip, you've heard of a certain Deseret News columnist/church-sanctioned blogger Emily W. Jensen. Yes?
Well, what did you think of how in the past 26 months, Emily -- while writing for the Lds church-owned DesNews -- wrote: "Hat-tip Kent Larsen at Times and Seasons"???
See:
* Today in the Bloggernacle: Last-minute conference tools and tips (Lds church owned newspaper Deseret News, April 1, 2011)
* Today in the Bloggernacle: MTC no-touching rule (Lds church owned newspaper, Oct. 13, 2009)
Any accusations, Rip, of Emily "dragging up" the Mormon Times & Seasons to give them "hat tips?" Any implied obscure raising from the Mormon outback there?
No, Rip?
Why not, Rip?
Is it because you're just an out-and-out two-faced double-standard cultural Mormon who treats Gentiles distinctly from your fellow Zion crowd?
Why can't you bring yourself to treat me with the same "fairness" that you would treat Emily...or a BYU newspaper staff writer?
You see, Rip...
...if you were one ounce consistent here...
...if you had lodged these same "let's dust Times & Season's blog under the rug" attempts in any previous communications to either Emily @ the DesNews...or to the BYU newspaper...you might have a point worth considering.
But I don't believe you have. I call you on it.
I call on your apparent two-faced treatment and "encourage" you to start treating Gentiles with the same approach you deal out to fellow Mormons.
And I call you to repent of your perceived inconsistent treatment of Gentiles -- vs. how you approach your fellow Mormons. We all highlighted the same group; yet I'm the only one who receives your umbridge, eh, Rip?
Because until you begin to be fair-handed in your conversations with people, you and thousands of Mormons like you continue to flunk out with gaining absolutely ANY credibility with the world you supposedly are trying to win.
