I swear I need a chart matching up users here to usernames at MADB. I feel like I must know more of you than I realize...
Either that or I'm just not clever/academic enough to add anything to the conversations.
Neither intelligence nor education has proven to be a requirement for continued posting at MADB. ::Points to self as evidence::

mercyngrace, I have always loved reading your posts over on MADB.
I am one of the bannished ones from over there (although I can at least read posts on there now for some reason).
I was banned because I asked a question regarding when Will Schryver's material would be published. I did not know of all the hullabaloo going on behind the scenes until I found this forum and read....and read....and read.
But I was banned forever...no questions asked or chances to repent given. I emailed to ask why and got no response.
But it is very nice to see your name next to some posts on here!

I actually remember that! You weren't the only one that happened to as I recall. I think there were two or three people who got banned for posing the publication question. It was a heated period of cross-posting between these boards and there were some bannings that appeared reactionary.

bcspace is bcspace. Careful, I speak more freely here.
I shall watch my step conscientiously, sir. ;)

Like Fencesitter, Blixa and others, I have followed you over on MDD. I think you provide a great example of one who expresses basic Mormon beliefs and faith in an articulate and non-confrontational manner.
Over the long haul how people feel about us often becomes more important than what they think about what we say.
You come across as a genuinely nice person, and as Blixa remarked, that seems pretty rare over on MDD.
Welcome (again).
