"Seriously, Russ...mind if I call you 'Russ'? You know, the way you're talking about me makes it seem like I'm a petty, vindictive, crybaby ego-maniac.
"Honestly, it really doesn't upset me at all when people use the word 'Mormon' to talk about your/my church organization or its members. Really, I don't pout. I don't have a temper tantrum. I don't get into a mood. I don't cry and I don't feel like you haven't defended me, whatever that means. No...don't explain. I don't wanna know.
"Hey, I'm fine with the word Mormon. I'm the loving, forgiving, all-understanding guy, right? You think that it's not enough for me that my name is plastered all over your buildings and you guys say millions of prayers everyday that use my name?
"Did you forget that I had spikes rammed through my hands and feet, a crown of thorns jammed on my head and all that? You think I'm really getting into a snit because people find it easier to refer to your/my organization and members using the word 'Mormon'?
"Give me some credit, Russ. I think I'm pretty mature now and reasonably well-balanced. I'm not the type of guy who starts pounding his fist into the wall and screams because people don't use my name ALL the time. To be honest, it never even bothered me at all.
"So, ease up Russ. You're making me look bad...and that is starting to get on my nerves. Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
That message just came through the Stone of Gomer and I was asked to pass it on. Apparently, Russ's peepstone is offline.
