I fear saying this *Bond looks at sky fearing lighting bolts* but it's not really a board war. More like a board dialogue. It's spooky. I'm waiting for someone to realize the pro-LDS are talking with the counterLDS and start flaming. Till them I won't mention it.

Um...I think you just did mention it! I'm waiting for someone to realize (that would involve cognition) that they are talking about a board where a majority of the posters cannot respond to them, that it makes them look like simple minded cowards, and that some of the people participating on and initiating those threads are people who have already posted on this board. Some of them disguised their identities. Again, cowards.

Shhh! Maybe they didn't hear me mention it. Oh crap!! Again I mentioned that the boards are in somewhat mild discussion! No!!! I mentioned it again!!! Why do I keep mentioning that the boards are not in all out flame mode? No!! I did it again. Why....

Does there have to be flames for it to be war?

Maybe this is the LDS Board Cold War.

I'd like to know if official Board War has been declared and on the primarily LDS boards, what are the rules of engagement for Board Wars?

There's a 8 page companion thread on MAD that's still going on I think. The Mods okayed it at least.
An excellent observation. Back in the days of the ironically named FAIRboard, the powers-that-be sought to avoid board wars, since it reflected poorly on FAIR/FARMS as an organization. They tried to portray themselves as being "above all of that." However, after it became impossible for them to maintain the facade that they weren't "affiliated" with the LDS Church in at least a semi-official capacity, they had to divest themselves of the MB. The new MB doesn't care. It essentially belongs to Dan_G and juliann, and thus caters to their whims and biases. And since one of juliann's pet projects is frothing at the mouth and attacking virtually everything in sight, you can bet that the fittingly named MADmods will absolutely tolerate board wars.
