So I thought I would start this thread to show you guys just how one sided this board is. So I always get posters asking me, hey, why do you act different then you did when posting on MDDB? That’s really easy to answer actually. Let me explain. Over on MDDB I was finally banned permanently for fussing with a group of ladies over transgender rights. I was thread banned over there at least once every two weeks. I would stand up for lgbt rights and get banned for taking it a little to far. I got thread banned once for saying the prophets need to lose the $3000 dollar suits and put on work clothes and act like real prophets by working like real prophets. I was thread banned once for saying the church is stupid for shutting down the kitchens inside the churches because they could be used to bring the community closer together. I was thread banned over there numerous times for saying removing the word Mormon from the Mormon vocabulary is a stupid idea. I was banned one time for a few days for posting that the prophets need to stop reading off of the teleprompter. I pointed out that since 1974, my birth year, not one general conference talk has been given without a stupid teleprompter, yep, got banned. And many many more examples.

So that’s the kinda conservative Mormon I am! But that’s not good enough here. That’s not good enough on a very progressive board that doesn’t allow a differing opinion. Like the board owner says to me all the time, you need to learn how to fit in. Meaning! Become more like us and you’ll be accepted. Because that’s what it is! My first day on the board while posting in spirit paradise, I got two PMs from members here in the terrestrial telling me good luck, that I was going to be ganged up on because spirit paradise was a hell hole.

Do you guys even want a Mormon to be able to post here? Do you even realize new posters that lean conservative feel like they have to become a totally different person to be able to post here? Your extreme progressive ideology means if a conservative wants to post here, they have to become a caricature of themselves. Is that what you want? Do you really want conservative posters to morph into a different person online so they can post here without hurting your feelings or disturbing the progressive narrative? Is that what this board is about?

You’re telling us how many times that you were banned or your threads were locked on the other board, so you’re complaining about this board?

It’s obvious that you’re able to participate nearly consequence-free on this board. But you’d probably get more serious engagement if you didn’t spend nearly all of your energy whining about everyone else’s beliefs or political ideology, or working up your ‘poor me; you evil PROGRESSIVES are meanies’ routine.

Having a conversation is simple.

That's plenty good here. Just stop whining at us about nothing. Stop trying to make everything about "progressives" which you don't seem to understand. This isn't a political board. Anyone can be an exmormon and a conservative, or the opposite. And realize conversation isn't about you. Its about ideas.

That’s not good enough on a very progressive board that doesn’t allow a differing opinion.

So you pointed out you got banned on MDDB and yet, here, you get to post away about whiney nonsense without much more than people calling you out and you complain, this board doesn't allow differing opinions? I mean its idiotic complaints like that that get other posters annoyed by you. Obviously you're making sh*t up to whine at everyone.

Like the board owner says to me all the time, you need to learn how to fit in. Meaning! Become more like us and you’ll be accepted.

No. Be authentic and everyone will easily accept you. Try to talk about ideas not people or why you don't like RFM and you'll be better off. Whine like a child and people will ignore you or point out how stupid you're being. I mean advice. Take your pick.

Because that’s what it is! My first day on the board while posting in spirit paradise, I got two PMs from members here in the terrestrial telling me good luck, that I was going to be ganged up on because spirit paradise was a hell hole.

I've never as much as peaked in at Spirit Paradise, so you got me there. But if it's all about politics and you're spouting idiotic points like you do here, its not surprising that people are ganging up on you. You seem to think since you hold an opinion everyone ought to just bow down and say, "yes, good idea. I'm happy you have an opinion." Come on, we're here to talk about ideas and if you give crappy ideas, they are going to get crapped on. Toughen up.

Do you guys even want a Mormon to be able to post here?

Hell yeah. And I wand the space to tell them exactly why their ideas, as they post them are bad. I don't want to see them whining that no one's accepting their bad ideas, though.

Do you even realize new posters that lean conservative feel like they have to become a totally different person to be able to post here?

You say that as if you deserve the privilege of everyone just letting your ideas matter because they differ from someone else's. No. Make a case, my man. Make it cogently. Make it convincing. Everyone will respect you if you really try.

Your extreme progressive ideology means if a conservative wants to post here, they have to become a caricature of themselves.

You're biggest problem is you think this has anything to do with politics. It's a lame game your playing. Everyone tires, I'm assuming, of your continued complaints about progressives and your childlike victimhood for conservatives in discussions about Jebus, or religion. If you want to read political views into every discussion spend your days on a political board, I mean, maybe? With that said, I'd love to see you post here. I'd love you defend your position and give authentic ideas contributing the conversation. I'm guessing you won't do that though. BUt I'm trying to help.

Is that what you want? Do you really want conservative posters to morph into a different person online so they can post here without hurting your feelings or disturbing the progressive narrative? Is that what this board is about?

I really want to see a particular conservative try and contribute to the conversation instead of whining about political views.

If you did not spend your time in a knock-down dragout brawl with two specific posters, someone might think you were a moderator, LOL.

Who knew how easy "conservative posters" were to control?

Worst advice anyone could offer to anyone who posts on this board. If anyone is lurking, I highly recommend that you reject this suggestion outright. The best you can do on here is to show up with a fake name and a fake persona and only participate if you hate Daniel C. Peterson, Mormons and anyone that did not vote for Hillary Clinton in the primaries and in the general.

If you think you can show up here and be authentic, you are either going to have a bad time, or get called troll. Of course, if you are an authentic anti-Mormon progressive troll, by all means, do so authentically. There is always that.

You are not wrong. You are absolutely not wrong. Not even a little bit wrong. Though, being in control is not always the best move. It is, however, rewarded here. You are definitely not wrong.

Between us, who just engaged who, here?

I’m happy to supply you links that display this problem of yours, a hundred times over.

My God! I mean, I tried.

Binger, I don't know anything about you. I suppose from this post, I can assume, you are Mormon and conservative politically? Interesting. What do you get from Mormonism? ANd why do you think its true (as they say)?

Exactly. I am no longer a member. I do not consider myself conservative. Thank you for the exclamation.
