[TruthTalk] TT Double Standard

[Dave Hansen]

DAVEH:   I don't think you understand the nature of my posts, Perry.  I'm not talking about your sexual experiences.   I'm talking about Christian hypocrisy and the double standard as practiced on TT.  Is the double standard on TT not a fair topic?   Why should I have to discuss that matter offline?   Is this not relevant to all TTers, Perry?     I find it very telling that you make false accusations against me....... you suggest I might have some knowledge of Izzy's sexual experiences, .........which I did not do.  Go back and read my exact words if you don't believe me.  If you can't find them, I'll gladly provide them and you can see for yourself that you are again accusing me of something I did not do. you suggest that saying "one of Joseph Smiths spiritual wives" might have some sexual connotation, ..........That has been suggested before on TT by other TTers, and the moderator did nothing to discourage such comments.  Now you want to ban me from posting something other TTers can post with no retribution.  This is simply another example of a double standard. you try to spin Dean up by suggesting he gets "excited" by sexual references. .........I merely stated the truth about Deans sensitivity to such things.  This was not an ad-hom attack.  Is the truth now a problem on TT?  People have said a lot more vile things about me with no condemnation by the moderator.  Why the double standard now, Perry? these amount to false accusations, DAVEH:   How can that possibly be a false accusation if it is true, Perry?  If anything, it is you who is making false accusations about me in this matter.  Once again....a TT double standard. the intentions of spinning Dean up on a banned topic DAVEH:   You are absolutely wrong again, Perry.  You simply fail to understand the nature of my posts.  My intentions are not to spin up Dean at all.  It is you who I am trying to enlighten as to the Christian hypocrisy involving the double standard practiced on TT with regard to Mormons.  Until you as the moderator recognize it, why should I discontinue pointing it out every time it occurs?  Is not the TT double standard an acceptable discussion topic?     Charles Perry Locke wrote: Dave, you suggest I might have some knowledge of Izzy's sexual experiences, then you suggest that saying "one of Joseph Smiths spiritual wives" might have some sexual connotation, then you try to spin Dean up by suggesting he gets "excited" by sexual references. These amount to false accusations, with the intentions of spinning Dean up on a banned topic. Any more posts from you containing sexual references and I will have to take you off the forum until you agree not to do so. Take any issues you have up with me, offline, at this address, not on the forum.

I am sure there are many discussion forums about sex if that type of discussion interests you.

I wonder how that would turn out... :-) -Christine  Miller
