Not me, harmony ;)
Just cause we criticize doctrine and history and actions doesn't mean we can't be civil.
I would love to see those top choices fill up, even if this site is slanted to the critics side.

I agree. I enjoy reading Harmony's posts. I think they are very insightful.

Although, like Harmony, I have been accused of being a "countermopologist" by Juliann. LOL

I think that if the FAIRboards (sorry MAD boards) were to go unmoderated or at least less moderated, the goodness and civility of the average LDS person would more shine through. As it is, it's mostly just snarling, paranoia, and anger from a few people.
If these message boards were filled with the average people from all religions, odds are it would be alot of people just sitting around shooting the breeze. Too bad extremists have to ruin the world.

I voted "exmormon," though I still hold a calling and attend church off and on. But emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually, I am no longer a Mormon. In some ways, saying that makes me sad for some reason.

I originally had a poll that had "believing Mormon" , "nonbelieving Mormon" , "believing exmormon" (in case of anyone who's been excommunicated and still believes) and a host of other choices but their were like 10 or 12 choices so I simplified. Thanks for the reply.

Paging Mr. Bond, we need a special section to contain Polygamy.
