Probably not the main reasons. Considering that they have not closed the thread like they usually would, but deleted them and banned the persons who started them suggests much more.
No doubt that with what all is behind it, this has the makings for an Oliver Stone movie.

Let me try this again: Consig was not banned for his Will thread. His banning occured because of his responses and his flippant attitude. This can be seen from his Racism thread. The mods had enough of his posting style. Most of the responses to the posters on his racism thread that he made were not very serious. His banning occured for nothing in particular but it was an accumulation of many things.

So what would be your theory on the bannings of RockSlider and GiGi1975? They were both immediately banned after asking about Schryver -- just like Consig.
Hey.... While I think it's possible Consig shouldn't have been banned, even though I've vehemently disagreed with him, and think he's approaching apostasy, from what I've seen of his past I don't think he should have been banned. Although, not interested in reading the current apparently "offending" threads to be sure; nevertheless, he's generally discussed things okay.
But, at least they are equal opportunity facsists.... Cause I was banned simply because I created a new account under my actual name. I wasn't on any "suspension", there had been no recent problems, etc., and they ignore emails to correct the error. Oddest thing I've ever heard of.
Personally, I think there is a "rouge" Mod on the board..... It hasn't been operating FAIR like it generally used to be. Of course, I was banned once before for simply copying a statement from another forum and asking MADB thoughts on the comment. I only wanted more input given that the other board was dead. Oddest thing I've ever heard of. Maybe the rouge Mod is a long-timer who's just not as "sharp" as he/she should be.
Sadly, someone/people are clearly practicing unrighteous dominion there.... Although, to be fair, almost always I agree that those banned should have been banned, but like with me and maybe Consig there are exceptions to the general rule. It's unfortunate. Both times I was a years long timer and valuable contributer, and they just ban me like that for THOSE things??? Sad. :( Hate to speak ill of apparently LDS running the place, but ill is the clear truth, so I speak against it.

Who knew that Will was an MDD moderator?

William's 104 year old great aunt Silver Schryver is a moderator. She's his protector.

MASH quotes I peeked in the back [of the Bible] Frank, the Devil did it. I avoid church religiously. This isn't one of my sermons, I expect you to listen.
It's strange but for the first time in my 7 years participating there I was just banned from a thread last week. I suspect they have a new trigger happy MOD that doesn't like even the most subtle criticism.

Doubtful. It really is just the Mods overreacting about things they would very much not want discussed. This really is nothing new.
...that, or some of you have way over-active imaginations (nothing new there either), not that this really matters much.
Now, speaking of overreaction, if you wish to speculate on why a number of my posts in the Schryver thread were deleted and banned from the Celestial Forum here, well have at it.
