The link you gave did not work for me -- said “page could not be found.” Perhaps it didn’t work for me only since I am not registered “to see” that.
It’s not important to me, but I was just reading your posts. All the abbreviations which people use are often unknown to me. So clearly, I don’t belong here.

Hello JAK!
The links to the MAD (Fomerly FAIR) board don't work on this board due to some sort of reverse voodoo curse ;-) that board put on their links in an effort to keep people on this board from linking to this board. So, it's not you, my friend, it's those of us who met with disdain in the eyes of the folks who operate that board.
Abbreviations...you know the typical abbreviations such as TBM, ex-Mo and that sort of thing. RFM is the Recovery from Mormonism Board (if you want to see that board you can just search on "Recovery Board" and it will come right up. MAD is formerly FAIR, now known as Mormon Apologetics Discussion board or some such thing.
If you start reading about this drama it becomes as addictive as watching the soaps!
In my post there was a poster named "Tal Bachman". The best that I know....Tal Bachman is the son of musician Randy Bachman of Bachman Turner Over Drive and is a musician in his own right. Tal is an ex-Mormon who posts on RFM. He recently started posting on MAD and apparently made the locals somewhat nervous because they started issuing warnings from the outset and it looked like they were setting him up to ban him.
This isn't unusual for that board. They shoot at anything that looks like it might challenge them (read: make them look bad).
I welcome your presence here and if this board ever get's a threaded view some folks will see what you can do with a topic! I live for it! Unfortunately, we'd also have to pay for it and so far the only posters who have been interested in a threaded view here are myself and marg ;-) Can't imagine why!
