Ironically Named Mormon Dialogue Board Declares War on MDB
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 4:24 am
In the wake of the recent goings-on (thanks, SeattleGhostWriter!) the moderating team has issued what seems to be, in effect, a declaration of war:

I'm not sure that any commentary is really even necessary here. I rather suspect that Nemesis's message speaks for itself, on all kinds of levels.
ETA: (Okay, I have to chuckle just a bit at the fact that Nemesis offered up the disingenuous disclaimer "This is not intended to start a board war" at the outset. Good one, Nemesis.)
Nemesis wrote:This is not intended to start a board war but to make sure it is well documented of the Misogyny Practices brought to you by the posters of Mormon Discussions and its owner Dr. Shades who we are hoping will take this chance to do the right thing . They had a chance to make a real change in their board for the better yet they have have decided to use their board to unleash another unrestrained lewd attack on posters of this board, especially Juliann and somehow Calmoriah has been dragged into it. This attack was initiated by their posters Mrstaknovite and Trashcanman using Memegenerator.net. The picture in use was taken by The Deseret News for a Mormon Times Article and it is their property. Juliann has found some humor in some of them however most have stepped over the lines of decency. Eallusion has stepped up and stated disgust and I am sure Juliann appreciates it but as a whole the entire board stands together on promoting this behavior.
Anyways as much as it may soil our board it is time we start documenting their antics. Most of you have been consistent targets of their harassment for years now and may not know it. This is your chance to stand together if Dr. Shades won't show any responsibility as an administrator to control what goes on his board. We have generally left the board alone however if the irresponsible behavior continues from their administration I will create a forum and start documenting everything for posters here to use against them as you see fit. The game has changed folks being reasonable and attempting to reason with the group have failed.
You can see the misogynistic/lewd/pornographic messages for yourself but be warned of their graphic nature. http://memegenerator.net/Mad-Juliann
Other harassment this board has been faced with is done electronically with persistent ddos attacks on our server. We have had to take measures against it, but they are not fool proof and will eventually fail when the attacks evolve. This has also been initiated by a poster from Mormon discussions who is associated with the said group performing the attacks.
Thank you,
Nemesis
As a side note we asked Juliann if it was OK if we publicly address this and she gave us her permission.
