What Celestial rules do you think have been applied to the pinned thread?

But if you welcome opposing ideas, then I'm only calling out how the moderation in that regard
has been biased.


Would it solve the problem, to either close down that thread, or remove it entirely?

Then you could start your own thread on a similar topic and attempt to manage its direction.

And I could either participate there, or go back to MAD, where there is less
distraction from the primary discussion.

Cutting to the chase here, Ray.

Where I post a thread is clearly not your business.
Whatever requests I make are clearly not your business.

Your business is what happens on the thread.

In your post you claim that the thread is being governed by Celestial Forum rules. Maybe you should read the updated rules before making such a claim. Here are the rules (in bold text) that have been applied to the pinned thread.

UNIVERSAL RULES:


Everyone is welcome. Every opinion is welcome. Therefore, do not "de-invite" anyone or suggest that they go elsewhere.
Do not post faux moderator comments. To this end, do not use red-colored font. Any message falsely portrayed as being from a moderator will be deleted.
Do not make mention of anything that allegedly transpired or is transpiring via the chat room or via private message. People who communicate behind-the-scenes obviously intend their communications to remain behind-the-scenes. Any post on the board itself making reference to such things will be deleted.
Do not "derail" threads or otherwise insert commentary that has nothing to do with a thread's opening post.
If you wish to start a thread having nothing to do with Mormonism, do so only in the Off-Topic Forum. That's what it's there for.
Do not overuse smilies. If there is more than one smilie per paragraph, or if there are two or more smilies in a row, it'll be considered "smilie-spam" and immediately moved to the Outer Darkness Forum.
"Cross-posting" from other message boards is allowed. Feel free.
Moderators and administrators will follow the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law. Try to see things from their point of view.

RULES FOR THE CELESTIAL FORUM:


Keep all communications "Rated G."
No personal attacks allowed.
No disrespectful communications allowed. Address the ideas, not the person who posts them.
No swear words allowed. Not only does this mean to avoid the "F" and "S" words and any of their many variants, it also means to avoid lesser bad words such as "bitch," "piss," "ass," etc.
No specific temple content allowed.

RULES FOR THE TERRESTRIAL FORUM AND THE OFF-TOPIC FORUM:


Keep all communications "Rated PG" to "Rated PG-13" or better.
No personal attacks allowed.
Do not use the "F" or "S" words or any of their many variants.
No specific temple content allowed.



The thread was posted and pinned in the Terrestrial Forum and has been moderated as a Terrestrial thread. I know exactly what the rules are on this board and whether or not any requests I make are in keeping with the rules.

You've wasted more time on this thread bouncing from one thing to another when you don't like the questions posed to you or the answers you're given. You can bounce alone now.

Time of day, officially withdrawn.

All of them.

And I remind you of marg's comment to Brent:

marg wrote:
I do understand brent. I probably would feel the same way as you in your shoes. But there are 2 things that I am taking into consideration. The first is the effort and knowledge to this thread Dale offers, and second is that to some extent he needs protection in that he certainly has no support from a multi-billion dollar church and its many members and he is vulnerable to their attacks on message boards. So if I think he's being questioned with superfluous questions, perhaps ad homs, which only serve to wear him down I will remove those questions or ad homs if possible without detracting from the thread, to the off-topic thread, which I did in this case with a link. If I'm wrong and Dale wishes to respond or I made an error it can be corrected. Dale did respond.


If marg isn't sacked as a moderator, this board is in apostasy from its founding principles.

Are you requesting that she be suspended from moderating -- or
that she be permanently "sacked" from all future moderating as well?

The Authorship thread is governed by Celestial forum rules. I will now officially accuse you of being a liar if you deny that.

Is there any possibility she could petition for absolution?

b***s***.


I've already demonstrated what rules it's been governed by. That you choose to ignore that is not my problem, it's clearly yours.

Sacked. Leopards don't change their spots. Her bias is terminal, and her mind too closed to even consider anything outside her worldview.

She and Jersey are actually doing your cause untold damage! I have, and still do respect, your honesty. But the biased barnacles on your boat are sinking it.
