Why are there not more apologists on this site?

[_Nimrod]

The reason there aren't more MADB members here has virtually nothing to do with DCP, but with all the other factors which have been raised. And how has he "forbade" people from coming here?

I agree that DCP has not forbade anyone from posting here. I think you are very incorrect though about many MADB members not posting here due to DCP. You should already know that he and others agreed to not post here anymore, and have been trying to get others to follow them as well. Not that I don't think these other factors they believe exist here haven't influenced many others.

Sounds like a pact among cowards that don't have confidence in the 'truth' of their faith.

I think he is much smarter than that.

Ah, but his intelligence is not quite the measure that his ego is, and therein lies Professor Dan's weakness.

What would you guys talk about if it wasn't for us?

"You guys"? "Us"? You're a member of this board, mfb. Try to keep that in mind when MAD and Dan are slamming "us".

Of course, over on MADB pointing out bad behavior is frowned upon, at least if you're not a believer.

It's frowned upon universally and is a principal source of my disaffection with that board.

It used to be that when one of these posters started attacking another poster, others on the board could post our disapproval--at least put it on record that not everyone approves of their rude interactions--but since moderators made "board nannying" against the guidelines, we have to remain silent and settle for reporting the post, hoping a moderator chooses to act.

Yep. This seems to have further tilted the conversation. I, for one, am not pleased.

Well, generally, yes, but the rule is not applied universally. Either way, they have the kind of board they want. The problem for me is that, when you are banned, you no longer can contact some friends, unless they go out of their way to contact you.

I noticed I got quietly dropped from the MADB Facebook group. Funny and sad at the same time.

Look at our friend ttribe, does ttribe ever do anything but get in the middle of conflicts?

I'll ask others to chime in - is this true?

Get in the middle of conflicts? Naw... you generally initiate them.

Muhahahahahaha!

You are a pretty contentious poster, but I guess I can relate to that.

But, Runtu, isn't that just so Mormon? I was taught growing up that those of us that will be in a lesser kingdom will not be able to visit those in higher kingdoms, but those in the higher kingdoms will have the option to visit us in the lesser kingdoms--even though they'll probably be too busy to want to do so.

As one who is quick to pull out my own blade, I do think ttribe that you enjoy the broadsword about as much as any of us. You have the passion that is missing in the Celestial Forum. For me, I see no shame in it and have no compunction. You believe fervently in your positions, as do I in mine. On guard, sir, I say, pick up your sword and defend yourself!
