A MA&D Poster Links to this Board

[_Brackite]

Brackite:

With all due respect, the MA&D moderators should be praised for breaking their own bad rules, not castigated for not following their own bad rules.

You should be rejoicing right now, not complaining.

Well, I guess you are right about that Dr. Shades. With David linking to your Message Board here, you are obviously getting more people reading the mesage Board here, and hopefully there will be a few more people joing in on this Message Board pretty soon. If any of the Posters from the MA&D Board are reading this rgiht now, I encourage them to link to my recent Post about the Book of Abraham. Here is the hyperlink to it: Please Click Here.

OK, I am back now. They are now having a disucussion about this on the MA& Board in that Discussion Thread there whether or not they are allow to Post links to other Message Boards, whether those other Message Boards are considered "anti" or not. Here are the Posts that are going on there:

maklelan:

There seem to be a larger number of non-Mormons over there, and a lot of them have huge axes to grind.

Larger number than what? And is there something inherently bad about being a non-Mormon? And by what do you judge the "huge axes to grind", based on your reported 3 posts? How can you know how big anyone's ax is, based on 3 posts?

David Bokovoy :

I am aware that the old FAIR board had rules against starting “board wars.” I would assume that we would not completely forsake that guideline. However, I’m unaware of any rules, even back in the FAIR day, against providing links to other sites.

I simply felt that this was a fascinating claim and hoped to gain further insight. When all is said and done, it's not so much a question of FARMS "Articles of Faith" as it is a matter of Borg mind control. There is only one FARMS mind, you see. "We" all think alike because, strictly speaking, "we" don't really exist.

As always, I’m more than willing to accept any reprimand for my actions from my MAAD board leaders without uttering a single word of complaint. It's really not so much a question of FARMS "Articles of Faith" as it is a matter of Borg mind control. There is only one FARMS mind, you see. "We" all think alike because, strictly speaking, "we" don't really exist.

I may have to take back all those nice things I said about David. *sigh*

It's Ok, Harmony. I have no doubt that David continues to see you as a friend. Besides, you will be happy to know that David was only subconsciously quoting what had been fed to him by the Borg mind control. I don't even think he realized that the quote had slipped in twice into his single post.

Poor soul!

Brackite,

Just scanned through the comments you transferred here. Going by what you've posted, no one has answered the question directly, is that an accurate statement?

Don't expect an answer from them.

Of course it is absurd to think my forum contains inappropriate "content." Like what? They won't say. You see far more FAIR bashing here than you do there, and temple content is welcomed here whereas it is not on my forum. It is really no contest really, regarding which is "more anti."

But all of this is beside the point since, the reason the post stands has more to do with who posted, and less to do with which forum was linked.

Don't expect moderator decisions there to be consistent or make any sense.

There have been a few more Posts on that Discussion Thread over there. Here is a Post by the LDS Apologist Pahoran (who also gets special treatment by the Mods there) over there:

Pahoran:

That particular board is largely populated by people expelled from this board, and who share a definitely unhealthy obsession towards us.

Regards,
Pahoran

Here is another Post there made by the 'Chief' LDS Apologist Daniel C. Peterson:

DCP:

Oddly, although they seem rather exercised about the fact that somebody here posted a link to their board, they don't seem to be troubled at all by the ridiculous falsehoods (posted by "Vegas Refugee" about FARMS and the Church) to which the link takes us.

That isn't really very surprising, though, since their board seems to be very largely devoted to commenting upon, mocking, and expressing horrified indignation about goings on here on this board. A bit pathetic, actually.

Now here is the Post made by the Moderator there named 'Orpheus' there:

Orpheus:

You can comment as much as you want. This is a different board now. Cross-posting calls will by made on a case by case basis. But we would prefer that links are not put up or if it is a clean thread that a warning be posted along with it so people know they are entering a sight that promotes vulgarity and obsenity. Nobody is expected to go to offensive message boards to defend themselves and posting here does seem to make our people a target. If they talk about you you can respond here as long as the bad content isn't brought over or linked to.

It looks like that only the moderator there Orpheus tried to answer the question directly. The link is still up on that Thread, but now the Moderator there, I think Orpheus again, Posted a comment there in Green, right under the link there. Here it is:

David:
[

I noticed that a poster from another board claims that FARMS believes that Mormonism is the fulfillment of Qumranic Judaism.

Can anyone provide confirmation of the FARMS belief on this subject?

WARNING: The link goes to a message board that contains vulgar and obsene content. Leave the the thread that is linked to at your own peril. ~ mods

Since the Moderator Orpheus there stated that, "This is a different board now," does this mean that anybody who got banned on the old Board there, can now and re-register to be able to start Posting there again???

No. Well, at least that wasn't the case for me.

The whole name-change with the forum was just a meaningless stunt to separate FAIR from its nasty side that is publicly accessible, but I think we can all see that the board is still very much "FAIR." It holds the same grudges against those who criticized FAIR. The same nepotism exists, unphased and unchanged, and the same talking heads from FAIR run the show - which was made perfectly clear in the recent Juliann debacle.

Might as well keep calling it FAIR.

I didn't mean to misrepresent you. Fro mwhat I understood, there was something that would have shown up over there around or before October. You mentioned other persons and other sites as involved as well, but I didn't know whether all of this took place over there or not. I apologize for misunderstanding.

maklelan,

If you didn't mean to misrepresent me, why have you chosen not to correct your post and allowed the misunderstanding to stand?

Jersey Girl

I edited my post immediately after responding to your previous post.

maklelan:

There are several people on that board in a huff because they believe it is against our rules to post links to their board. Can anyone comment on this?

Maklelan, if this is an example of your posting persona, perhaps it is no wonder you are a Pundit there.

#1. No one is in a huff here.

Then why a whole thread dedicated to complaining about a rule that may or may not have been made? I've noticed, also, that if I criticize someone's argument here I get criticized even heavier for being critical. I've been told that all opinions are welcome, but I seem to get jumped on for speaking my opinion. Before I amde a single derogatory statement I was told that making fun of Mormons is the only way to derive any good out of Mormonism. I think that's a disgusting thing to say, and my criticism was aimed at that individual, and they have yet to respond. Because of my criticism of that person I'm suddenly attacked for disrespecting your entire board. I've already apologized several times for misunderstandings that I have taken responsibility for and people are still jumping down my throat. What gives?

#2. No one here cares what the rules of MAD are. We just think they're generally pretty stupid.

The rules or the people?

#3. We have posters that report what's happening on the MAD/FAIR board simply because some of us have been banned from reading or posting at MAD/FAIR, so they bring us the news of what's happening there.

How on earth could a person be banned from reading the posts?
