You're just going to ignore my evidence about MAD's hypocrisy, aren't you?

And weren't you just claiming on this thread that you really, really, really, really do listen?

I thought that I responded to you by posting the following:

I have to admit that the MAAD board does have strange banning ideas. As I told Runtu, I did feel sorry for him. I thought him a victim but then again I can't remember all of his posts. MAAD is in percarious situation. As I said before, critics are a dime a dozen and the more high profile the critic the better will be her or his success. Bob Betts is a good example of this. He is still posting at MAAD. And certainly he is a critic.

The lower rung critics do face a banning threat especially if they begin to mock the LDS church with superficial sentences. And some may get axed in a sweep at times. This may not be fair but it may be needed.

Is it fair? Perhaps not.


What more would you like me to say? I just made a suggestion on the board that may stop the geniune doubters from getting banned and Momus has taken up the idea. I hear you guys...I am doer.

How so? What do you define as a precarious situation?

Your response doesn't address the actual point of my comparison of MAD to postmormon.

You asserted that you criticize postmormon due to its hypocrisy. Yet I showed that postmormon is actually upfront about its attitude towards believing posters. You also asserted you don't criticize MAD due to the fact that it is upfront about its biasedm moderation. Both your assertions are, in fact, the complete opposite of the truth.

Your response does not address the hypocrisy of MAD, nor your own hypocrisy in fixating on postmormon while giving MAD a pass. I'm not asking whether or not their moderating is strange or fair. I'm pointing out that they are not upfront about their extremely biased moderation, while postmormon actually is.

THAT is the point I want you to respond to.
