Who's Calling the Shots at MAD?

Ah, I see I was two minutes behind DCP himself.

Oh well, it's good to see that my memory and comprehension are not completely fried.

Momus threatened Moksha the other day with another banishment if he ever answered a question from another poster about the Shades Board. For a minute Moksha thought the Momus moderator sounded like she who must not be named. I wish these boards would get over whatever squabbles they have. So many people post on both boards that such a chastisement as Moksha received seems rather out of place. I think of this post as a Letter to the Editor asking for a greater degree of reasoning to be applied in those instances.

Hopefully ears that can hear will pass it on as a gracious request.

How anyone can think of banning such a cute little penguin is incomprehensible! All boards should require the presence of cute lil penguins!

I had nothing to do with founding it, and I have nothing to do with running it.

Well, if it cost $400,000, I can see why you had nothing to do with founding it.

I am quite certain no apologist worth his or her salt will 'retreat' (in the losing sense) to such a place. Those types of people (as well as true academians) must have their opinions and ideas in the fire to see if they hold up.

You have a very strange idea of apologists' and true BYU-type academians. From what I can gather, isn't LDSForums owned by the More Good Foundation? And wasn't the More Good Foundation founded by DCP and his buddies?

Notice I said true academian (I said nothing about BYU). An academian or an apologist who hides in an ivory tower is not true.

Huh? What thread was that on, mok?

It was on one called "Rate Your Favorite Anti". Here, Severian responded to a question by LifeOnaPlate:

What is this Shades board?

Severian gave the URL which as deleted and added as an explanation:

Hot off the presses - I noticed LifeOnaPlate is already the newest member. Oh well, trying to be helpful. Day late, dollar short as usual.

Mormon Discussions is sort of the wayward sister version of this board.

It has no relation to this board what so ever. Moksha next time you plug it, you will be off the board again. People know where it is already, and a lot of them choose not to go there. Do not use our board to advertise other sites unless you have our permission.

Momus

The thing is that Severian or Moksha did not feel that responding to an unanswered question was really the same as gratuitous spam or leading the flock into a dangerous pasture, where they would be devoured by a horde of zombie mice. ~ Better watch it Moksha, that zombie mice part was dangerously close to an endorsement for the pepper bar at Quiznos Sandwiches.

mok,

If those are the exchanges I remember....Cal herself replied to the inquiry. Was SHE cautioned, too?

And I agree with what you stated in your previous post, mok. People on these boards need to get over their squabbles.

I agree.

How long has this board war been going on? Three years now?
