I wanted to make a comment to you regarding your conduct on the Joseph Smith Jr. talk page but I think I'd rather speak to the perception of your attitude and your situation. I can tell, it's rather hard not to, that you believe in the LDS church. That's fine by me I have no standing on the matter whatsoever. My observations are geared more toward the vehemence with which you defend the Church and it's dogma. You have slid into proselytizing twice on the Joseph Smith Jr. talk page and I get the feeling that a good troll could easily make only a couple of comments that drag you off the path and into personal attacks, ending with you getting blocked. I'm not threatening to block you, I can't anyway. I am trying to warn you to be calm before you post and then take a second to re-read your post before you hit "submit". You seem to have a rather firm grasp of the Church dogma and would be a usefull asset in maintaining balance in some of these articles - IF you can maintain your composure. Please think carefully on this and I hope to see you editing for some time to come. Padillah (talk) 17:09, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personal statements on Joseph Smith Jr. Talk page[edit]
Regarding your comment: "comment about the "invisible man in the clouds" indicates your lack of religious belief and understanding" Please don't confuse my position or beliefs, there is no way for you to know what they are. The phrase "invisible man in the clouds" is ubiquitous and has no significance other than to relate the view that religion is an unsupported belief system that neither has nor requires proof. Use of the phrase does not require belief in the tenets behind it. In the future please try to hold comments to the article content, not other editors.
