Brackite,

How do you find out why you were banned, do you know?

Ha, that was an entertaining thread. My favorite post was Pahoran:

Steve,

I have no idea why you find it necessary to start every response to me with these spiteful outbursts. I suggest you grow up.

Regards,
Pahoran


LOL! Pahoran must be getting Alzheimer's. He seems to have forgotten that HE perfected the art of starting every post with a spiteful outburst.

Anyone remember the ZLMB posts wherein he'd regularly respond by saying something like:

"Beastie sneered: (quote)"

It got to be such a joke that people began to try and outdo one another in spiteful introductions. "Pahoran projectile vomited"

Hi there,

I left my computer on the night of November 4th, and I think that I left the "FAIR"/MA&D Board up on one of my browsers. The next day, November the 5th, I tried to sign in, but they wouldn't let me. I also remember that I wasn't able to view any of the rest of that Message Board that day. I also think that I later Posted on threads already started about the bannings that took place earlier that day, on both Dr. Shades Board and Kevin Graham's Board, stating that I got banned.

I rermember that, beastie. I actually know someone who could out-Pahoran Pahoran but that's another story. ;-) Does it occur to you, beastie that some of the TBM's who were so allegedly proud of ZLMB came back recently to trash it as trolls? How odd is that?

Nothing would surprise me.

I know from my experience as a moderator, that there were some TBMs who are quite visible on MAD who openly appeared determined to destroy ZLMB when they decided its moderating style was not acceptable.

Hey All,

Bond is right, I got in two posts and was banned. I pretty much bit DCP, who could not handle it. How are you going to "invite" someone over to the board, and then when they show up, pointing out that the crap streaks on your garments are showing, ban them?

I was actually surprised that I didn't get banned with the rest of you, given the ire I sparked in Juliass the entire time I was there. That woman literally followed me from thread to thread, sniping. I guess because I backed out earlier on in '06, they didn't see me as a threat. I ran away from Juliann licking my wounds, I came back in full beeatch mode. I don't think MAD's resident drag queen wannabe could handle that. And the pussy that is DCP pretty much knew he didn't want to deal with me.

I found it amusing that his "betters" told him to ban me. Who's that Dan, one of your multiple personalities? Goodness.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, MAD, better known as "Stepford on the Web" is not the place for me. I honestly don't know how any critic or non-LDS can stand it there. It seems that the only people who survive over there are those who either don't think, or are very adept at hiding the fact that they do (as far as the moderates, critics, and non-LDS go).

Here's the thing that really got me. There's a poster on that other board that I've talked to for years, a wonderful woman by the name of Koakaipo. I believe that she tried to get in touch with me on those threads, and DCP deleted it. She's such an intelligent woman, I honestly don't know why she stays in that zoo. Her old email doesn't work, so I can't get in touch with her. Mok, if you can through b'net, can you give her my email? My email on there is bogus due to the old banning there.

I think the real reason why I didn't get banned over there much earlier was because of my involvement in all the race talks, and the subsequent defecation upon my character. I had people telling me to go back to Africa, I had Juliann telling me I was really a white anti-mormon, and I had people trying to convince me I had mental problems. To ban me would have been a real embarassment for FAIR, because they weren't dealing with the race talks while I was involved very well at all. I posted my thoughts eloquently, and was met with a lot of juvenile behavior. Like the GAs with purple faces on Moksha's Apostle of Color thread, and Kemara's insistence that if I ever saw him, I'd do harm to him because he was maori, and I was speaking specifically about the benefits of black American LDS being able to see a black American GA or Apostle. I know that race is a sensitive subject, but many do not understand the importance within black culture to see black people doing well...it's just showing our youth that you can be more than a thug or drug dealer, goodness. All we want is hope for our kids, is this so bad? Complete zoo over there. That was a painful, confusing time for me.

It was actually my interaction on FAIR that caused me to leave the church, because I realized that these Mormons that I was talking to online were the same type of people I sat next to each sunday. The only difference was that their veneer of hypocrisy was thicker on the "sabbath". I'm sorry, but I cannot worship God next to people who are not only ashamed of me, but so ashamed of themselves and their online behavior that they have to hide it.

Till I can get through, is there anyone else that can get a pm message to Koakaipo to email GIMR? Alas, Koakaipo no longer posts at Beliefnet. She could calm the savage critics like no one else with her conciliator skills.

Like the GAs with purple faces on Moksha's Apostle of Color thread, and Kemara's insistence that if I ever saw him, I'd do harm to him because he was Maori, and I was speaking specifically about the benefits of black American LDS being able to see a black American GA or Apostle.

I sort of liked both the purple and green faced Elder Holland. Wonder how it would have looked with a Gaussian Blur filter? Perhaps that would have made their viewpoint to hard to see.

If GIMR ever met Kemara in a dark alley, I would be afraid for him too. However, he would also have Pahoran along for protection. Those two are usually inseparable except on the forums.
