I'm not around a ton lately. And I haven't followed all of your threads.
What I HAVE seen, however, is that you are a pot-stirrer. I haven't cared enough to try to figure out your angle, but you sure know what buttons to push.
If this place can help you on your journey- mazel tov! Truly, I mean that. But a lot of the answers you need are already here on the boards or on the permanent archives. And many other questions come in cycles and are answered on a very regular basis. So look before you ask, especially if you have a hunch that it might be an inflammatory thing to say.
Also realize that this is a "live and let live" place in many ways. There are people here from every walk of life relating to LDS. We absolutely understand when people need to vent and share their anger about something that happened in the church. We're not so big at letting members snipe at other members on the board. If you want to be well received, follow Wil Wheaton's advice and "Don't be a dick." There are lines and boundaries, and until you know this place well enough to know which ones can be pushed, you're better off acting in a safe and conservative manner. Just like any other place on the web, it's best to behave and act like a guest, and get your toes wet before jumping in.
You can ignore my advice all you want, but it's what I've got for you. If you're truly a troll you won't want to invest the time it takes to become trusted and feel welcome here.
Here's one of my absolute favorite youtube vids and I think it might help you out here. It's titled "How to Behave on an Internet Forum."
