*yawn*
Hey, Blixa, I checked it out because Runtu was posting here, too! Does that make us his groupies?
What's funny is that I told Runtu who you were, Blixa! I figured it out first! That's the one and only time I've ever come close to out-thinking Runtu. I doubt it will ever happen again.

What's up with that? Do they hate us for our freedom or something?
Beats me.
I guess they feel like stewards of the exmos on their board and perhaps are afraid that such open discussions with defenders as found at Shady Acres might sway some of them back?
I voted "heard about it on MAD". I was a member of the previous Shades board and had first heard about that one on FAIR. After it was down, I hadn't been on any Mormon dialogue boards for a while and found out it was back up again much later than many of the other posters on the old board. When I was on MAD, I found out it was back up again. It was mentioned so much there from board wars that it was not hard to find this place again.

Anytime I am chatting with the unwitting on yonder Mormon.org, I always drop them the URL to this board and tell them it is a great place to discuss Mormonism! I tell them that a Mormon friend told me to hit both boards.
Most agree, one even said, "Well it is in their name... Mormon discussions dot com"
I wonder if any of them look it up when they are off shift?
Oh man, wouldn't that be sweet if one did, and happened to read one of my posts about our previous exchange on the mo'chat site!

I was told to return to this site every three months, and my mind would be further enlightened.
Praise to the man, Dr. Shades!
LOL, PP!
I had to choose "other," since I didn't find MormonDiscussions but rather conceived of it.

I was posting on ZLMB when Shades popped in and declared he was making a version 2.0.
Jersey was very excited , so I went over and checked it out. I found it vulgar and offensive.
Then I visited again (Kind of like when you smell the spoiled milk a second time) and got drawn into the discussions. Never been back to ZLMB since then.

That's okay, Gaz. Some of us can't go back to Z. I think the owner is still in a snit about wazing. ;-)

*shrugs*
I really doubt that.....maybe they like being the number one board on the exmo/critic block. Or maybe Shades has irritated them somehow (not unlike Mike Norton or Infymus or whoever).
