Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

I don’t remember that conversation , but I’ll take your word for it but I would have to see the context, I have a little deeper view than how you simplified it. I am confused what my profession has to do with it…elaborate please I am very curious? It’s trapped in the archived section of the board, ...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

Nonsense in my view pakes. It is just one troll instead of many. If a conservative comes here and state a conservative point of view, they are instantly attacked…some aggressively, some passive aggressively. There are also nanny’s here, or at lease one nanny, that in in my opinion are more annoying...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

Then ignore it, he will get bored and move on eventually…trolls have to eat, quit feeding them. It is a choice, yours. Mark, I know that's the common wisdom, but by now every troll in the world understands that it's a tactic being used against them. The response is often escalation after escalation...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

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...

Re: The Radicalization of a Message Board

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'...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

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. ...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

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 ...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

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...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

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...

Re: I HEREBY STEP DOWN FOR NOW

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...
