Thanks Jeff. You are one of my favorite LDS posters on here. Thanks for your example.
It would seem there is a bit of the spirit of Gov. Boggs on FR tonight. I would hope that we can all stop the infighting and focus on the real struggle we are engaged in.
This is starting to get ridiculous.

Oh yes the MO gov...
Does that mean someone with the spirit of mormon Porter Rockwell is going to try to kill someone with “the spirit of Gov Boggs” ???
While not reading Jim's mind, I suspect he has grown tired of mormons making posts like this. Those of us who rebut the lies of mormonism on FR are continually compared to murderes, arsonists, called liars and the favorite word is bigot. There have been actual threats made against us on these pages, all in the name of "defending" Joseph Smith.
The caucus title has been used in an attempt to do nothing but proselytize by mormons in an attempt to avoid debate while their posts such as this one, denigrate Christianity.
52,000 daily missionaries and multi-million dollar PR campaigns such as the bait and switch "Get a Free Bible" by the mormon church are ongoing and there are hundreds of posts on FR by mormons whining about being "persecuted" because the actual facts about the cult are posted.
This "Governor Boggs" post is yet another "poor persecuted mormons" whine, and a back-handed slap at Jim Robinson in a sly comparison of Jim to Boggs, as Boggs issued the infamous "extermination order" because the mormons were out of control and posed a threat to other citizens.
On October 14, Smith declared a jihad type of holy war:
“If the people [of Missouri] come on us to molest us, we will establish our religion by the sword. We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was ‘the Quran or the Sword.’ So shall it eventually be with us – Joseph Smith or the Sword” –History of the Church, Vol. 3, p. 167.
Three days later, Mormons led by a Danite loon named “Captain Fear-not” (originally named David Patten, he had apparently legally changed his name) looted everything they could haul off in Daviess County (a second riot perhaps).
On October 25, the Saints ambushed a Missouri National Guard unit consisting of about two dozen troops at a location south of Far West in what has since been named “the Crooked River Battle.” Four soldiers were killed along with one Mormon — Fear-not — who apparently thought he was invincible and charged the Guard on his own. When the Guard returned to claim their fallen comrades, the found the Saints had mutilated their bodies.
This series of incidents led to Governor Boggs’ “extermination order” on October 27. He activated the state’s entire guard of around 4,500 troops and approved their march on Far West.
So much for the poor persecuted mormons.
Read this letter that Smith sent to the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont, and see just what kind of "Apostle of Jesus Christ" Joseph Smith really was.
"And in the appeal let me say; raise your towers, pile your monuments to the skies; build your steam frigates; spread yourselves far and wide, and open the iron eyes of your bulwarks by sea and land; and let the towering church steeples marshal the country like the "dreadful splendor" of an army with bayonets: but remember the destruction of Pharaoh and his hosts; remember the handwriting upon the wall, mene, mene, teke, upharsin; remember the angels visit to Sennacherib and the 185,000 Assyrians; remember the end of the Jews and Jerusalem, and remember the Lord Almighty will avenge the blood of his Saints that now crimsons the skirts of Missouri! Shall wisdom cry aloud, and her speech not be heard?"

Oh yeah! ‘Look over there! These are not the Morgbots you are looking for”.
And, don’t think we didn’t catch the veiled reference to the Missouri Govenor that the Mormons tried to assassinate because he opposed them.
