Further up this thread there is a statement by Jason Bourne (?) that says people here are obsessed with DCP or FAIR/MAD. For me, that is not entirely so. I find the irony of what they say they are compared to what they actually do, to be simply astounding to watch.

I cannot tell you how much it pains and embarrasses me to have to admit that there are people who have so completely missed the point of the gospel of Jesus Christ, as to represent themselves as believing LDS and not comprehend how completely opposite of the principles of the gospel that the MAD board represents. It is most disheartening that proponents of the LDS church would behave so badly.
Show kindness to every person, love thine enemy, turn the other cheek, love thy neighbor, do everything with an eye single to the glory of God. All absent. Instead, we're treated to a steady diet of arrogance, pride, one-up-man-ship, whining, backbiting, dishonor, and an appalling lack of integrity. There is no excuse, unfortunately. Much is expected, but little is actually given.
Our TBM's (Jason, Kevin Graham, Gazelam, Plutarch, MG, BCSpace, etc) as a whole do a much better, if not perfect, job of representing at least some of the characteristics of a believing Latter-day Saint. Occasionally, I catch a glimpse of the best example of a believing Latter-day Saint I've ever seen on the boards, kevinchill, in an occasional post here. No wonder Daniel doesn't post here; he'd have to hang his head in shame, at his appalling lack of effective leadership.
