Uh huh, Liz "Dream Team" 3564. I'm the ass. I'm the one the created a board of "Dream Team" posters which ended up talking endless crap about the members of this board. <- That wasn't known until it was exposed. And yet... You remain a Moderator on this forum. Boggles the mind it does...

Me thinks you're a hypocrite, and an idiot.

Here's what I posted on liz's board. I admit I wanted to try liz's board to see if a willingness to ban or not allow historically problematic posters would make a difference.


I don't understand this, Beastie. Two of the invited posters are/were Ray A and DCP. Do you not consider these two "problematic," or what?

Well, you know, poor, innocent Liz "Dream Team" 3564 invited rabid Mormons to her board because NOMs didn't have a place to talk about Mormonism in a "safe" environment.

Jesus, this woman is so full of crap.

Well, I think any poster can be viewed as problematic given the right circumstance. Some would say that I'm problematic. So, in times past, they could be problematic. Ray, I'm sure would admit this. DCP, not so much. Keep in mind that I also admit that I, in certain circumstances, can be problematic.

But that's not what I had in mind with "problematic". I'm thinking more along the lines of posters who clearly would be banned on any board with a more proactive moderating approach. Posters that are obviously saying things mainly to incite.

I get what you're saying--sort of. I'd freely admit that *I* can be problematic, too. What I'm asking is: Did you really think that the line-up of posters on Liz's board was truly and genuinely free of these sorts of people? I just don't understand why you--of all people--thought that this would work, given the folks who were invited.

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Liz.

Bingo! That is why I created my board in the first place...which seems to be overlooked.

Not quite sure a NOM friendly place could logically exist, even if filled with only NOMs and no non-believers or TBMs.

A question occurs to me - Stem, do you consider yourself a NOM?
