Why?
Do you find this board;
Objectionable?
Pleasant?
Void of substance?
Inferior to MAD&b or RFM?

If I was the owner I'd leave it as it is, because;
People are able to speak their mind.
It's good.

The board is not 'anti' at all, unless your definition of anti includes just anyone who rejects Mormonism. My private definition of anti is:

Persons who, while campaigning for rejection of the claims of Mormonism, refuse to submit their own beliefs to the same scrutiny (arbitrary antis), or,

Persons who actively oppose Mormonism at the expense of reason and truth (fallacious antis).

I don't think that those who question and investigate the truth claims of Mormonism are 'antis', nor are people who want to disseminate factual information about the truth claims of Mormonism.

I wasn't suggesting it seriously be changed. Sorry to offend! I was merely joking. Guess some people just don't get me.

No. I wouldn't want MA&D to lose their #1 Google rating for the search "Anti-Mormon Discussions".

N/T?

The board itself is not antiMormon in nature. Most of the people posting on it are. I, a TBM, can speak my mind here.

No, we get it. Especially ater you started a thread aking questions about concerns with Church history, and then rejected a response including a hyperlink because, according to you, it was "anti-Mormon literature."

Yes, we know. Many of us here have a Mormon background, and we know how it is engrained in the Mormon mind to believe anything that questions or criticizes is "anti" and should be ignored solely on that basis. Otherwise you would have to go repent for exposing yourself to the grips of Satan. Take a spiritual bath so to speak. Like you said, you couldn't even get a TM if you hang out with people like us.

Which makes it even more humorous when Mormons ask questions as if they really want answers. Any answer provided can be categorized as "anti" and dismissed on that basis alone.
