I really hope you aren't. I used to enjoy posting on that board, I actually had more red stars in my first year than anyone else. Then it just got so hateful toward Mormons or conservatives that I began acting as an antagonist to the jerks. Lately, I've been trying to make the board over there so vitriolic that it will just be unbearable for anyone to post. That may not have been the best idea. It kind of worked, which is a bit sad because frankly it was too easy.

I do believe you will find the banter much more friendly and lighthearted here.
Please hit up the Emigration Canyon forum and tell us about yourself!
Hopefully you will learn how to disagree, without being so disagreeable.
Open contempt gets answered with open contempt.
Self-seeking trolls will get a booted, and you have just admitted to being a self-serving troll.
That said, we also believe people can change their ways. So having said that, Welcome!
That board is getting a touch ridiculous.
See if you like the water here. I have a hunch you will. Try to humor Rocker Ute. He's actually quite harmless.Originally Posted by ironman1315

By the way, almost everyone on this board started out on UteFans. Many of us here practically started that place. In fact, one of us did start it. (Not I.)

Rocker is a mod at Utefans isn't he? Would you mind wiping my utefans profile from existence?
Well it's completely unwelcoming to any kind of divergent thought now.
Yeah, that was what, almost 20 years ago now. Sheesh I've been around a while (and I was only one is the practically, not the one)

Plain and simple, all you have to do is tell the truth over there and point out just how foolish the way they argue is and they'll explode with rage. Post links to videos on realclearpolitics and hold them to their own standards of argument and they completely they'll lose it. They stooped to new lows today. When they post pictures of people they disagree with to ridicule, and make unfounded defamatory character attacks, then it's time to leave that behind.
Oh, I never claimed civility. I was entirely uncivil in response to the incivility. Pangloss is pretty civil, but he is also quite frequently incorrect in his statements (not that I'm perfect by any stretch). By the way, I think you might be the only person over there reviled more than me. Well done.
I don't want to argue with Utah fans anymore. In fact, I wrote out exactly why those statements are consistent and just deleted it. Believe your own truth. Go Utes.

Let's avoid the personal attacks, please.
There are plenty of ways to argue a point without stooping to how memorable someone is.
