My weblog: Can anyone help me out?

[_Dr. Shades]

Hi folks,

I'm running out of people to write about on my weblog. I know that lots more people have been banned from FAIR than what I have written about; it's just that I don't recall anyone else's stories well enough to do them justice.

I've already made entries about Kevin Graham, Wade Englund, Mister Scratch, Liz3568, Beastie, Harmony, Truth Dancer, and Rollo Tomasi. I did a general entry which briefly mentioned Southern Redneck, Who Knows, Moksha, Brackite, Pokatator, Liz3564, and Jersey Girl.

Does anyone want to help me out? Do you know of another banned person about whom I can devote an entry? Or, perhaps, were any of those in the latter list (Southern Redneck et al.) banned previously and have a longer story to tell?

Of course, I can always write up my own tale, but I'd rather write about myself only as a last resort.

(by the way, my weblog can be read here.)

Thanks!

[_Who Knows]

Wasn't Tal banned from FAIR? He posted as "Truthseeker" or something like that, if I recall correctly.

[_Jersey Girl]

Doc,

Could you do me one small favor? On your list, could you please list me as Lady Sundancer or LSD? That is what people on the LDS boards knew me as. Just wanting accuracy.

Also, was McCue banned? I forget how that turned out.

Jersey Girl

Didn't Scratch say that self-exiled people was your territory? How about Sidewinder, Don Bradley, and Paul Osbourne?

As I recall, Nortoninski was also banned.

I also remember hearing stories about someone called "bat" who apparently posted some naughty images now and then.


You might also consider doing an entry on all the retired mod accounts. Most of them are probably still at FAIR, but it might be a fun blog anyhow.

Happy Thanksgiving. One day a year I don't have to work 14 hours a day.

Your weblog is yours to say what you want, but I have a comment about your entry relating to Rollo:

The conversation eventually morphed into a discussion about the reason why Quinn was excommunicated--was it for his homosexuality, or for his having published embarrassing aspects of Mormon history? Rollo stated that it couldn't be for homosexuality, since Quinn didn't come out of the closet until three years after his excommunication.

A few points.

No one knows why Quinn was excommunicated. The minutes of his proceedings were not made public. I don't know if Quinn ever said why he was excommunicated; if so, somebody please tell me.

I recall that Quinn was excommunicated around 1990?

But, I knew Quinn was a homosexual in 1980 -- ten years before. He appeared in public holding hands with his boyfriend at MHA meetings. Nobody seems to credit that because eyewitnesses to that event are not the type to be around today making posts. I was 25 years old at the time in tow with John Welch as a research assistant.

So, Rollo's claim is just plain wrong. He doesn't know. He is not in a position to gainsay me.

But, again, I don't know if that had anything to do with his excommunication. I have heard many times that he was excommunicated for apostacy, but it has been mere rumor in my view.

Hey Shades,

Real Mee (Dear Mee on FAIR), was banned... If I recall correctly, also Ava Maria and God is my Rufuge. There was also a woman named Anna about a year ago.

Thanks to everyone who responded!

I've deleted Plutarch's name from the blog, changed "Jersey Girl" to "Lady Sundancer," and e-mailed Tal Bachman. We'll see if he responds.

I appreciate the extra names you've all provided. Before I decide what to do about self-exiles, does anyone know the stories or, better yet, the e-mail addresses of people like Ave Maria, etc.? I don't know their situations and thus can't write about them until I get more feedback.

Thanks!

I was simply banned because I either posted here, at RFM(none in the last three months)or at Kevin's forum. That's pretty much it.

I do have my own blog, and I have been doing a Carnival since May. I call it the Carnival of the Veil. None of that should have warranted my banning.

The ban was simply an attack on these two forums. That is something you should take pride in.

Is being "in tow" one of those euphemistic expressions? There must be a lot going on at those MHA meetings.
