Our gd instructor (http://kevinhinckley.com/ -- he looks a heck of a lot better in person than that picture) was fun. In my new ward, no one cares, as far as I know.

The problem is that it's the closed minded ones with whom we really need to open a dialogue.

However, very few of such people have actually commented on the blog and they've often had a change of mind after a discussion with me or others. I believe that the huge red and black anarchist symbol on the home page of my blog scares the hell out of all the closed-minded individuals and stops them from reading anything, leaving me to deal with the only people I want to deal with. So, my own solution, should you care to use it, for combating stereotypes regarding Mormon blogging is to paste large red and black anarchy symbols all over the place.

BTW, you might be a little inexperienced with Mormonspeak, so let me help you out: "Where did you serve your mission?" means: <em>I can't see your garment line and I want to make sure you're an RM before I flirt with you or line you up with anyone I know.</em> and "Huh, interesting" means: <em>Man, I sure hope the bishop didn't see me talking to you.</em> Bret, thanks!

BTW, you might be a little inexperienced with Mormonspeak, so let me help you out:

“Where did you serve your mission?” means:

I can’t see your garment line and I want to make sure you’re an RM before I flirt with you or line you up with anyone I know.

and

“Huh, interesting” means:

Man, I sure hope the bishop didn’t see me talking to you.

Anytime I've ever brought up that I read Mormon blogs (obviously I'm a light participator) I've never had more of a reaction than "Huh, interesting." Maybe YSA's are less likely to blog? Anyway, good post McQ. I'm sure I do my fair share of breaking down as well as proliferating such stereotypes!:) I must be traveling in the wrong circles in regards to blogging awareness.
