Robin, I actually meant YOUR underlying attitude. And I did get the joke, I just didn't think it or the premise was very amusing. I went back and reveiwed the thread at which point my eyes glazed over and I decided I really don't care enough to argue about it anymore, especially given the chance I was wrong. I do concede I over-reacted, however. Should I go back and delete all my posts? Naw, how immature would that be?
SU, glad you found this amusing. Not sure if you're laughing with or at the turn of events, and I guess I don't really care.

I enjoyed the first 50 posts, as the respondants conveyed their caricatures through personal terministic screens. But now the thread has simply devolved into a food fight.

Nobody ever answered my questions, but it did degenerate into a food fight.
I suppose we would need some intellectuals here to tell us who LDS intellectuals are. In light of the dearth of real intellectuals on this board, none can identify that with which they are not acquainted. Who are the leaders in science and technology for the LDS Church? Who are the leaders of literature? Is it really Orson Scott Card? Now, I enjoy his work, and really don't like the "fistory" Work and Glory stuff. Yet, with all the great Jewish writers is our most preeminent writer a science fiction writer, a genre which is not taken seriously amongst the ivory tower types. In terms of computers, who are the leaders, the guys at Dell or Micron? In terms of linguistics, who are the current leaders? In terms of law, who is the top LDS lawyer? Judge? In terms of medicine, who are the leaders? Are there any great genetists? Archeologists? Anthropologists? Egyptologists? Great engineers? Great LDS financiers? Great phsycists or chemists? Biochemists? I really want to know. The field of Mormon studies is a narrow, and for many persons, uninteresting field. There's no money in it. So unless you have a generous benefactor such as Ira Fulton or a Marriott, no university will care enough to fund it.
