I didn't know I was banned until I read your post, Relief Society.
So that it may be known what caused my banning on the MDD Board, I posted a thread titled, "Putting a Rumor to Rest."
The entirety of the OP was as follows:
I have heard a rumor that the Maxwell Institute is pulling the plug on publishing William Schryver's Book of Abraham research.
Is there any truth to this?
All the Best!

I think somebody over there has thin skin.
I also wanted to mention that I was PM'd over there by a poster whose name I will not mention, but who was unfamiliar to me, with the following message:
As angry as parh was "rumored" to be, tread lightly
I do not know what "parh" is supposed to mean, and cannot communicate with this poster to find out whether it was a misspelling or an acronym or abbreviation or what.
At any rate, I knew the job was dangerous when I signed up for it.
All the Best!
--Consiglieri
Yeah, "parh" probably means "Pahoran." In the end, it's probably a blessing to be banned from that place. They've lost a thoughtful poster, and you've lost, what?

Why am I not surprised that you would be the one to figure that out?
Nice sleuthing.
Perhaps Pahoran could be induced to let us know whether he was involved in my banning . . .
How many times must the cannonballs fly . . . ?
All the Best!
--Consiglieri
I hope that he steps forward, too, Consig. It seems the "honourable" thing to do.

What does misogyny have to do with whether or not Mormon teachings are true or false? Answer: Nothing
This thread is just another example of how political correctness destroys the ability of people to engage in debate or express themselves in a public forum without sticking to the standard PC way of looking at things. As a female, I don't agree with misogyny , and I despise the sexism inherent in Mormonism.....I still think that this man should have been able to present the best arguments he could come up with in a public forum and have his ideas considered. Starting a thread because you think he is "offensive" offends me. You know something? Political correctness reminds me of Mormonism in a weird way. you are just not supposed to say or do certain things, even in jest. When you do say those things....... people get to go on a moral crusade and ignore your opinion because you have violated one of their stupid rules.
I'm sorry, but all questions muse be submitted in writing.

Didn't this thread supposedly stop his book from being published, or something? I thought that letting other apologists know what he was really like was the entire point of the thread, but even if it wasn't, people on this forum were celebrating his inability to enter the field of "real" apologetics with unrestrained glee. I completely disagree with their attitude.
I'm sorry, but all questions muse be submitted in writing.

But their worst vitirol is reserved for each other. They are unbelieveable toward one another. A level of toxicity I've never seen men get to. f***, if men get to just 50% of the s*** women talk about each other someone is getting shot or beat to death. I've been on both sides of their b***s***, and if you've ever worked or interacted with them on an extended basis the pedestal we men tend to put them on is destroyed by them.
If the women of this board don't want to post here because they're being little drama llamas, or playing the victim card... Whatever. That's on them. They'll just find some other avenue to vent their s***. If they want to stick to the issues, and address the issues... Then fine. Do it. They reap what they sow, too. If they can't see that, and want to, yet again, not take responsibility for their own actions then that's that. It's typical. The women who stick around have my respect, but it's the same kind of respect I would give anyone who sticks around. It take strength to stay on a board that has minimal moderation. Apparently, there are quite a few that lack that kind of courage.

No, but I don't care about political correctness. I think it's a cancer.

The fact is that Will wanted his arguments to be embraced by the higher-level apologists and their community. Yet he could not handle discourse about his ideas with females without descending into sexualized insults. This isn't "PCness" gone amuck. This is about whether or not Will could handle being a higher-level apologist with the scrutiny of ideas that brings, without descending into behavior that would embarrass the larger apologetic community. And I'm not just talking about defenders of the faith on the internet. I'm talking about the "real life" world of LDS apologia, which does try to have some semblance of respectability and academic behavior.
