They've been unusually heavy-handed lately, and I don't altogether understand why.

Over on MD&D, Scott Lloyd has started a thread to explain how badly the board is treating him, and what he has decided he will and won't be doing in the future unless they shape up. All he needs to do is call MD&D an echo chamber and the similarities will be complete:

In less than a month I have been blindsided with a thread banning for no discernible reason, this time from the thread about the Masterpiece Cake Shop case.

Again, there was no explanation offered, not even the typical, cryptic "poster removed" in red at the bottom of one of the posts.

I have requested to know the reason but have not yet heard back from the administrators (I never did hear back from them on the prior occasion).

After well over a decade of posting on this and its predecessor board and after more than 23,700 posts, I'm not used to being dealt with in this way. I will give the administrators three days from this moment to get back to me with an explanation. If none is forthcoming, I will impose the only penalty available to me which is to cease contributing content to this board.

I just read this, so not to be a hypocrite, you are a dick.

Spot on post. Now what the hell to do with the majority of tithing payers whom are Chapel Mormons and orthodox to the bone?

How to inoculate the active masses with Postmodernism without killing them? Once we hit the point where it can be said over the chapel pulpit during a fast and testimony meeting that "I know that the Book of Mormon is not historical, but it is a sacred work given from God", we have cleared the bar!

Bottom line, they are going to have to wait until all the baby boomers die off, and hope they have retained the following generations. Good luck with that!

I’m just a bit surprised they’re taking it out on Scott and have left Russell alone (so far) because his comments are much more abrasive and rude than Scott’s (but Scott immediately thumbs up every one of his posts). Scott loves having his buddy back.


Perhaps, like MI and DCP's crew, MDDB might someday realize that the likes of Scott and Russell are NOT helping their cause. Perhaps that day has come eh Scott? Move to a postmodern position or leave, your old ways are obsolete.

A spot of bad mustard, hot flashes, or just getting up on the wrong side of the bed. No need to make any sense out of it.

Pahoran is back! Together you can castigate those infuriating infidels at D&D. Hell hath no fury like an Intercontinental Ballistic Mormon!

Actually, I came to appreciate both Pahoran and Stem at Liz's board. I even wrote some extra verses to Mack the Knife as a friendly gesture.

I was going along with this with a bit of a chuckle until at the end I learned I've been grouped with Pahoran. Ouch!

just kidding Pathoran or kiwi at the other board now is a sweet heart.

Stem, you are in my group of favorite posters.

Good to hear that the years have mellowed Pahoran. Perhaps he has reached the stage of generativity in terms of allowing divergent opinions. Muy Bueno!
