Thanks to Bill for providing the links!

I, for what may be obvious reasons, am unable to provide links to anything on that board.

Mainly because I have been denied access to the site. :confused:

Hi DBMormon,

It was too kind of you to go back and pay considering the over-the-top allegations against you. Some of the apologists in that thread should consider editing their accusations.

Also, I liked this quote:

TheChurchIsTrue wrote:The talk was pretty bold in terms of traditional LDS Apologetic approaches. You wouldn't really get that reading Lloyd and Smith's summary. You do, reading DB Mormon's.


No one outside of the Mopologetic community would ever take either one of those summaries seriously. Let's hope they don't edit out mentions of "traditional apologetic approaches" as they craft the official transcript.

Unfortunately for the apologists, the point is exactly right that online LDS communities, beginning with FAIR, shun folks with questions. That will never change until a certain list of names on that board give up entirely. The interesting thing about Grant is he's able to post on Faith-Promoting Rumor and Sic et Non without launching personal attacks, but while making his position clear. He's a good example of someone trying to bridge build. A certain list of names who post at MDDB would never succeed at that. They are there for blood, always have been, always will be.

Brilliant!

Just found this post from Nemesis on page 2 of the thread that got me banned.

It may provide a clue . . .

No, not really. I'll prove that point now.

Note in my response to cinepro that Nemesis is quoting me there. I'm jesting that they threw you out as well. Surely they would not have booted you because of my comment/boot right?

Nice post.

I have noted for a long time at mddb that the Nuanced Mormonism moment seemed very hush hush. It seemed the Given's must have had non-public support as they continued to travel the world using Church buildings for their presentations to the suffering/doubting members. They have been doing this for a long time now.

Ally Isom surely would not be naïve enough to present her own opinion publicly if it was not in alignment with her employers desires.

No, I don't think these individuals are ahead of the Church. Look at the bucks they have to employ specialist to help them steer this giant ship in a new direction.

They are as dumb as a fox.

Of course they "want and need" critics there, and banning a critic only proves that point. Nemesis, whoever it is, has never been strong on logic.

Nemesis offers this explanation for his seemingly erratic banning behavior:

I could (sic) careless (sic) about a pro or critical voice and where they take their business. If you disrupt the tone of the board then expect to have issues here. Please remember, this has always been a place for LDS to discuss different topics where critics are welcome to engage and give differing points of view. Some critics do extremely well here and we enjoy them. As a final note no one has a right to be here or tell us how to run this place.
