A real fanatic wouldn't know what the term Poe means. That was kind of a giveaway as well as the overdone signatures and the avatar. That's why I said right from the start, it wasn't even a believable attempt at poeing.
Not a fanatic but didn't know what poe was either, had to look it up. Add ignorance to gullibility.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I think a polygraph exam on the LDS hierarchy might also demonstrate convincingly Mormonism is poe too.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Can we include the scientologists also?

I take folks at face value on the web. Especially in forums like this, because Poe's Law is spot on. Trying to figure out if a person is being sincere or not is a bit more work than I'm willing to put in for an anonymous voice on the internet. So I don't worry about it.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Ah, right. It's a different issue for the staff. Although you do get the satisfaction of putting a stake into them.
