i hate to be the one to break it to you, its more that they don't take kindly to you.
Why is it more likely? No one has ever been able to refute my arguments when I post there and I usually end up getting messages from several people asking me for their help with certain issues. The mods read the private messages, we know this for a fact. They then delete me because of this, saying they will not have their forum used as a platform for anti-Mormon recruitment or what not.
The name of the site is a misnomer. Mormon Dialogue? That silly forum has always been interested in one thing and one thing alone. Suppressing dissenting views and using mod authority too shape discussions in a manner that makes it look like the apologetic side has the upper hand.
And I was banned in August 2006 when I dared challenge Daniel Peterson and Brian Hauglid on a very sensitive issue. When I was first reprimanded I had no less than four veteran posters complain that I was being singled out. Greg Taggert even said he thought my responses to these people were very gracious, and not trying to be disrespectful. But because I kept asking them questions they had no answer for, Juliann stepped in and invoked an "asked and answered" policy, meaning I wasn't allowed to ask a question if it had already been answered. But it wasn't answered. Hauglid asserted without evidence that the text critical evidence indicating the Book of Abraham manuscripts were dictated, also make sense within a copyist scenario. I asked him how, and he just kept repeating the same thing. "It is compatible with a copyist view." That assertion doesn't explain HOW though, and I was hardly the only person on the forum asking him to explain it.
I think it was a few days later Dan peterson got on my case and I was banned for good. Too many people were struggling over this issue and they needed to thin the herd of critical responders. So frankly, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Its not so much that they don't take kindly to factual information.
Yes it is, as evidenced by their actions.
Say if it all came from Pahoran, they probably wouldn't be calling for Pahoran's head, you see?
It would never come from Pahoran. He is the one who likes to do a CFR thinking he is on the verge of catching me in a snare. But I didn't proviide examples in my initial statement because I knew someone like him would demand examples. The fact that they do this proves my point that no one on that forum has a decent grasp of the situation. Ignorance on the Book of Abraham is at an all time high over there, thanks to many contradicting FAIR presentations that seek to do nothing except complicate a rather simple matter.
Now get off your high horse and get off your silly rants against certain LDS folks. What kinda jollies are you going for anyway?
Truth, as always. And yes, I do get a kick out of poking fun of some of the most self-righteous idiots like Pahoran and JeffK. The fact that they refuse to come here and venture outside their safety zone, is very telling. They have no argument to make outside MAD because they know they will always be hammered with the facts. Facts that will not be edited or censored by the mods.
None of you fare well over here in debate, no matter what the topic is.
