  Nice. Tony, you keep posting to insist how much you are motivated by LOVE.
  How much you worry and care for us. [Mormons] Then you go and make remarks
  like this.

  I am not seeking to excuse anything that Kermit did or is purported to have
  done. But just how do his own gaffes and mistakes show the "true Mormon" in
  him ? Are we to assume that all "true Mormons" engage in this kind of 
  behavior ?

  Just an observation...you seem to have some sort of guilt/fascination
  thing going with sexuality. Why is it that sexual themes keep continually
  creeping into your posts ? First you bring up allegations (totally without
  proof, none the less) of large numbers of LDS missionaries being homosexual.

  Then you keep harping on Kermit posting a "nasty joke". I read the repost
  that someone put here. Yes, it was tasteless. Yes, it was out of keeping
  with what *I* consider a good example. However, Kermit is a big boy and
  is entitled to be tasteless if he so chooses. It is unfortunate that he 
  chooses to be vocal about his beliefs at the same time. But the only thing
  that it proves is that he, like you and I, is human.   

  <Sigh>
  Lastly, there is this gem.
   
>Your Jesus is in one of the others and your Unholy Spirit is in the other,
>but your God with the erect penis is only in the one where married
>Mormons will go.  You and other Mormons reading this KNOW that.
  
  I have never heard this particular accusation put quite this way before.
  You really have a lot of nerve slamming Kermit for his "nasty joke" in one
  breath and then spewing this statement in the next. To say I was offended
  would be the understatement of the century. Just what am I supposed to
  "KNOW" as an "other Mormon reading this" ? That it is all the more offensive
  for the fact that it isn't true ?

  Really, Tony ! Anyone that might have been able to give you the benefit of
  the doubt about your motivation for "helping" Mormons, just lost it with 
  this load of baloney.
  
>Why in email?  I only talk with sincere Mormons in email.  And many of
>them can testify that I talk very kindly with them. 

  I hope you talk MUCH more kindly ! Otherwise, your email would end up
  in the old bit bucket!
