If you tried to use different e-mails and names I think that would do it. Sock puppet stuff there.

All the problems posters here have with MA&D would not be problems if they would simply follow the rules. And one thing that seems to be be over the head of many (not ALL) who have been banned is that they simply cannot discriminate between criticism and insults. If they would learn that one little trick, they could post there.

OH, just to be clear. I am not a MA&D mod, I don't sugest to the mods who to ban. I am peon in the MA&D ranks.

Don't you have enough ridiculous fantasies to defend as it is charity?

Why burden yourself by adding yet another lost cause defense, namely the justification of the unjustifiable?

Everyone knows it is a joke over there. That place is just designed to make struggling members feel good, no matter what it takes. This is why they are afraid to have open discussion outside their safety zone. They are there for the comfort and protection they are promised by their fellow LDS moderators, and they know they can get away with all sorts of rude behavior that no critic could.

I am glad you popped in, Kevin.

This is the rule that you have not learned, yet. You can be critical without being rude, mocking, insulting, and crass. For instance, you could say that there is absolutely no scientific evidence that a First Vision ever occurred. That is miles away from saying that Joseph Smith was a crazy lunatic who had delusions.

DO YOU NOT GET IT?

I don't buy it. I never insulted people and was never warned about not following the rules before I was banned.

My guess is that they were just annoyed by your random style of posting and banned you because you're new and nobody would notice.

That said, you did make a few provacative statements (and mentioning this board doesn't help) but my guess was they just didn't want a wild card poster loose on the board.

You can't cuss there. You had a post (since deleted) where you referred to someone as a s***face and a bitch. That, combined with your randomness, is enough to get you banned. In this case, I don't blame the mods for their actions. Sorry.

Well...one other trick that might be useful is to avoid feuding with Juliann at all costs. ;)

One way to look at this is that you will also be banned from the gates of heaven. So, your banning is really quite symbolic.

Heaven's Gate sounds pretty dangerous if you ask me.
