Looks like they're leaving it up at least long enough to respond to with self-righteous indignation. And so far, no banning.
For what it's worth - nice post.
Cheers.
It doesn't matter I quit either way. I daresay they've taken the chainsaws to what I wrote, but that's how I feel.

And yet you have no problem with what is said about the LDS posters on your board of choice. Amazing.
Jersey Girl: No. As a matter of fact we wouldn't have a problem with it. Why? Because the LDS posters on this board are free to challenge whatever they wish. Two-way direct communication. What a concept!

Mormon Discussions is just a message board. A place where people can go to talk about whatever they want or say whatever they want concerning Mormonism.
Daniel:
And Mormons. Don't forget to add that they can and do say absolutely anything that they want about Mormons, too--individually and collectively. Insults, obscenities, sophistries, misrepresentations, slanders, vulgarities, smears, ridicule . . . it's all part of the wonderful world of Dr. Shades's Obsession Board.
(Gee. Why don't I have any interest in participating there?)
Jersey Girl: Well, Daniel, I suppose you don't need to participate here. You've got Juliann searching here on: Daniel Peterson, FARMS, FAIR and obscenties. Why go out when you can order in?

A most interesting contribution from Severian to Juliann:
Juliann:
You guys complained and groused and whined about how awful the FAIR board was...how it censored everything, yada yada. Your pals created a board that allows you to talk about anything and anybody in a most vile manner. Now that new management is allowing more of what y'all claimed to want....you don't seem to appreciate it. It seems all that openness and honesty only goes one way wink.gif
Severian:
I for one appreciate your foray into openness. Bravo.
Jersey Girl: Yes, Bravo, Juliann! Commendations on your openness! This board allows posters to talk about anything and anybody in a most vile manner where they open themselves up to challenge. In contrast, MAD allows it's posters to talk about anything and anybody in the most vile manner where challenge is immediately silenced. The board you are on allows links to this board and has prevented this board from linking to MAD. Yes, you've come a long way in terms of openness and honesty! Yes, indeed.

Does she also do this on Google?
I have no knowledge of that, moksha. Apparently she uses the search feature here to root out obscenities and finds that more interesting then "slogging" her way through the threads to read the discussions here. Fun, no?

I have no concern what people have done in the past in this regard. It is what they do in the present that matters to me. We all make mistakes and will continually to do so. And I am not saying that mistakes were not made in the case that we now speak of. But if they were, I say, so what? I would just want good moderation here on this board within the limits the board has set up.
Who did what to whom and why and who didn't do what to whom and why? has no concern for me since it all happened in the past. But now the past has become the present??? and that is a pity.
But at the end of the day, we are just cyber people trying to connect....and lets make the connection a healthy and beneficial one.
Now with Dan "take no prisoners" G running the board, and Juliann's obsequious, butt kissing behavior towards him, it seems she now has freedom to do and say whatever she wants. It has already been demonstrated that the MAD moderator is a liar. I proved this on my forum during the first week of his commission.
About a year ago I was informed that I could not use citations from other people without their permission, especially in my signature line. I was told to remove signatures from Tradd and DCP. Yet, I noticed a week ago Juliann has decided to cite me not once, but twice in her signature line. Apparently she thinks she is mitigating those statements by pretending they are humorous to her.
Juliann is truly a glutton for punishment. I was getting all kinds of grief from posters throughout 2006 because she was so depressed as a result of me being "too hard" on her, and in my absence she is now egging me on, again. I have enough saved posts from a dozen or so discussions, to solidify Juliann's reputation as the biggest fool FAIR has ever employed. Does she really want to invoke my interest in seeing her eat crow again?
The reason I was driven away from apologetics was because I lost respect for the company I was in. It was a slow, gradual process in the beginning, but my experience with Juliann gave it a violent shove into overdrive. She has the effect on many, apparently.
[quote name='juliann' date='Feb 10 2007, 12:32 AM' post='1208122573'] It is touching that you expect so much more from us than you do from yourselves. :rolleyes: Meanwhile we have seen porn, vulgarity and just about everything defended on MDB as long as it is done about or to the right people. Truth is stranger than fiction.
I expect enough from any decent person to keep personal messages private.
If you don't like what is said on MD, why do you go there? More importantly, why drag it to this board? If you've got something to say, log in and say it. Mormon Discussions is our board. Our community. If we defend porn or vulgarity what's it to you? Until you start posting there you're opinion is just that, your opinion, and if you don't have the guts to talk to people's faces you can keep your opinion to yourself.
You act like you want to censor the entire Internet, or at least the part that has anything negative to say about your religion. Well guess what, you aren't God. You don't speak for God. You aren't God's warrior and your church doesn't have the market cornered on God. If you are a representative of God's chosen people, then I honestly would rather burn in hell.
Mormon Discussions is just a message board. A place where people can go to talk about whatever they want or say whatever they want concerning Mormonism. You take these boards too seriously. I pity you and the tiny world you live in.
I quit this board. Goodbye to all the good posters.

This is my last MAD post. I figure it'll probably get deleted and me banned so I'm posting it here so that my friends on this board can read what I wrote. If they don't ban me I quit.
You're a sweetie, Bond. I knew there was a reason I wanted to be a Bond girl. LOL
