Yuck, I don't want to even contemplate the sticky keyboards at those other sites.

He's right, you know. Just look at how MAD is without critics (except replace "mental masturbation" with "spiritual masturbation").
I don't know about actually catering to the LDS, though. That's what happens on MAD, and that place sucks ass.
One note about this post: I think it's pretty funny, why me, that you equate "anti" with "profane." LOL Talk about validating the religious stereotype.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Without the profanity, the LDS on this board would have nothing to complain about. What fun is that?
But the interest of the board isn't what matters here. It's the interest of discussion, and truth. If the board flops, then it flops, and there will be 5 more to rise in it's place. So, there will be no extra moderation, and no catering to ANY group.
If you think something is too vulgar for the particular forum you are residing, PM or E-mail me or a moderator. If that's not good enough, then I don't think anything will ever be.

Isn't that what MAD is all about? And the suppression of critics there bothers you enough to come here, apparently (although perhaps I have misjudged you and you are really hoping to protect the lurking investigators from the less-than faithful, albeit more than accurate, portrayal of the Church - I haven't been around long enough). Those who want honest discussion will be interested enough to come here and stay, IMHO. Those who are interested in strengthening their testimony will go to MAD (and, hopefully, leave soon enough if their testimonies really matter to them).
