Dear Dr. Shades :-) Board Business

[MG 2.0]

The fact that [MG] now is whining about not having a pro-LDS mod…

I wouldn’t put it quite like that. Because, well, that’s not what I was doing.

Ditto. Thanks for the overwatch. You did everyone a solid.

Yeah - Pretty cool that you would do that, Shulem. Thanks!

Hat tip!

Ditto! Thanks, Shulem

Yup. If anyone here doubts that Shulem isn't a stand up guy, now you know his level of good character.

Absolutely.

This current post from you, however, is a prime example of the fecal smell of your posts.

This was of course addressed to Doc Cam. He deserved it.

Thanks, Jersey Girl for vouching for me. It's a story people might not believe without someone confirming it. Yeah, it was crazy, and I can tell you all kinds of thoughts went through my mind like, man, I can delete whoever I want! But I didn't do that. The control panel looked to me like I could have done anything I wanted to the board. I was glad when Shades finally showed his ass up and I granted him access by leaving the portal. Ha ha!

I know, it's tempting, right? But you did what any honest person would have done. Not call attention to it publicly, try to figure out what went wrong, and inform Shades so he could handle it. That must've put you off balance to check in here to the board then all of a sudden you're like what the heck am I looking at?

Exactly and I'm so glad you were there to offer support. It was freaky to have had that kind of access to the entire Mormon Discussion board. I confess, I scrolled over to Scratch just to see his information. No big deal. To me the walls seemed sacred and I didn't want to touch anything because it was the inwards of Mormons Discussions and it was like taking a tour into the very heart of the beast. I felt like I was violating sacred ground. I never want to be in that position again. I was so glad when Shades finally showed up. I was also glad when he said that he trusted me. That meant a lot to me and I appreciated it.

But I will tell you right now that moderating is not for me. No thanks. lol

If that happens I’ll delete my profile and leave the board. It’s not a weird threat, by the way. I see clearly what Sledge is about, and I’m not down with it.

Way back when I intuited, I think it was on this thread, that this would be where the majority crowd would end up at. Not a big surprise.

We will end up with three moderators that have an implicit negative bias towards either the LDS church and/or its members. Nothing can go wrong there.

And those three may each have an implicit bias against the CofJCofLDS to some extent or another. Unless they are superhuman and able to compartmentalize without exercising preferential treatment, they should not be allowed as moderators either. How is that to be entertained or measured?

At the end of the day, the ‘majority rules’ operational mode will probably affix itself to whatever decision is made.

I think Sledge should be given a trial period…along with the other three candidates…to prove himself (theirselves) to the satisfaction of the community. But to let a few, yet the majority, loud voices rule the day would be unfortunate, in my opinion.

What? I volunteered myself way back on page 7 and got absolutely no notice. Had a feeling everyone had me on ignore.

I hope Sledge gets the nod. Its like a church calling. Magnifying his office will do wonders for his personal growth. He'll learn and grow so much. Praise shades and his grace for knowing who needs it most. His spirit works miracles.

No, CFR on implicit bias.
