And as I mentioned above, that's not the standard I was referring to.

I especially like DB Mormon who does podcasts http://mormondiscussion.podbean.com/ pursuing difficult issues in a reasonable and moderate tone.
Thanks for the shout out (I'm mackay11 on every other forum but MDDB, where I'm canard78). I'm just a British nobody. Active but not very orthodox. I use three or four different social forums to try to discuss my questions and answers. I've been on MDDB for a while and have accepted that in order to participate and still hold an 'alternative' perspective that I have to stay civil. It involves a deletion of the first reply quite often but also helps to test my conclusions and assumptions.
DBMormon/Bill Reel is a really admirable guy. He's tried to walk the FairMormon line but I think is seen as a little too 'raw' for them. I enjoy his posts and hope he keeps up his voice for the middle way.

Ahhh. That is it. You've told me before but i've been scratching my head all day trying to remember who canard was.

Great to see you buddy. Now I have an image of a long-fingered alien rubbing his bald head while lovingly nursing a home-brew in the other hand.
I really must get around to asking the MDDB mods to change my user-name to mackay11 so it matches everywhere else.

I thought I might get warned or banned on that last thread for continually questioning Wade's special breed of backhanded charity. I was surprised it came down the other way.
