LOL…Remember when I said I would show you, you are so predictable? You have no objectivity, you speak for your tribe as a “we or us”, and demand that yours and your tribes opinions are the only ones worthy. As Hor or Chap wrote, I can’t remember which, you are implying your tribe is the correct, an...

Define 'radical.' by the way, how would you react if I said, "The Trump servants like Mrs. AM have taken over the board" and repeated that in 10 threads a day for six months? Would you be upset that I called you a Trump servant, or would you just think, This person is trying to troll me, because I'...

I’ve experienced this first hand many times. That’s a real concern. And it’s interpretive, mainly subjective. Good to see others have noticed this. Not sure what can actually be done about it. Regards, MG :roll: read any of our moderator's posts on the subject, or even any other subset of posters. ...

Likely, yes. What if someone did that many thousands of times , to almost every participant, in the space of half a year? Like this for example. This thread consists of 1185 moved posts. And that was just the beginning of ONE such person. https://discussmormonism.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1368 Then ...

But, when I am having a conversation with someone like you, both presenting what we believe are facts, and someone like him or Kevin just states I am a idiot….would that fall under what I quoted from you above? Likely, yes. What if someone did that many thousands of times , to almost every particip...

Folks who seemed most upset also seem to be the types who would have a board reflect their own intolerance and biases which in themselves serve as cautionary markers of how easy it is for communities such as this to veer off into self-righteousness. I would ask to be excluded from any group defined...

To clarify, I didn't step down because I have too much going on in my personal life or because I needed a break for whatever reason. Things in both my personal and professional life have gotten much more tolerable, thank goodness. I stepped down because too many people wanted me to. There was no ot...

You were one of the ones who wanted me to step down so the moderators could do their thing. In fact, you had a rather dramatic meltdown over it. So it's unnecessary for me to tell you something you already know. …every board has “trolls,” but to your point here…most boards have “Nanny’s” and Jersey...

…They find an adhesive continuity within their tribe, and when that continuity and sense of comfort is threatened by other folks opinions, it threatens their “testimony” so to speak of the one true ideology. “I know my ideology is the only true ideology and that my leader is the only true leader.” ...

Not sure how we can hope to better the forum without at least some rule changes. I mean the whole purpose of this exercise was to get rid of trolls for a variety of reasons. If we don't create rules to that effect then mods are left to just act arbitrarily. I agree with Kevin. Let’s do exactly what...
