Did FAIR Bury the "Pundits" Threads?

Post by **_Mister Scratch** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 7:56 pm

I can hardly believe that I failed to take note of this until now, but a few of the "Pundits Forum" threads from the old, ironically named FAIRboard.... have vanished! Or, at the very least, these threads have been squirreled away from the prying eyes of yours truly. Does anyone know where they went?

And by "Pundits Threads," I mean the lenghty discussions in which, for example, David Stewart, the surgeon-cum-DNA Authority was embarrassed by The Dude, or the thread in which Brian Hauglid's much ballyhooed Book of Abraham presentation was utterly eviscerated by Brent Metcalfe...

Gee, I wonder where these threads have gone? It could be that I've simply overlooked their obvious location....

I believe you have to be a logged on member to view the Pundit Forum. At least, that's the way it worked on the old board.

If you're simply viewing on a proxy server, you won't be able to view it unless you've pirated someone's sign-on.

Gramps could tell us. They haven't banned him yet.

Gramps, if you see this, let us know if the Pundit Forum still exists.

Bond would probably know, too.

They're still there. Here's the part where I get banned right?

Look again. Do you see threads dealing with the Book of Abraham/KEP and Nephite DNA? Or do you only see two threads, one on "Nephi and His Asherah" and the other on Book of Mormon Geography/Archaeology? Unless I am mistaken, the old threads have been removed, probably due to embarrassment on the part of the apologists.

Edited to add: I could be wrong, but I'm going to go ahead out on a limb and say that it appears that FAIR/MAD is in the midst of yet another whitewash.

You're right scratch. Haven't read on those for a while. What's interesting is that on the frontpage it says "7 topics, 144 posts", but you can only view "2 topics, 23 posts". The debate between Dude and that other guy is missing too, the only ones left are "Asherah and Ancient Israel" and "Mapping the Book of Mormon in the Americas"

I don't see the Nephite DNA or Book of Abraham/Kep threads there.

Indeed---a whitewash appears to be underway. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Not a very good start for MAD. Not a very good start at all.

Wow! They deleted the whole debate between Stewart and the Dude?!

Were you aware they were doing this, Dude?

They may be gone from the fairly mad board, but they're not lost... ;)

You saved copies before you were banned, WK?

Good work!

;)
