Ray A is banned (soon)

Post by _why me »

Ray A is getting banned from the postmormon site. Again the site exercises its authority to squash debate. Ray A made some fine points about the postmormon.org site. He was right on target. Also, his blog told it like it is about the postmormon site.

Does the postmormon site have a dubious agenda? According to Ray A it does.

I know. Why me, get a clue. That was an intentionally provactive post by a jerk.

You know why I don't post there? Its far too "nice" and "out-reachy."

And its visually ugly. I know, I know, I'm a lookist....

Ray A can be a bit gruff at times........


Can I just mention that the whole use of the term "moving on" is quite annoying? I bristle everytime I hear Mos of any stripe using it for whatever situation they're applying it to.

It annoys me.

For some reason.

Yes. It does.

You need to move on past your annoyance.

I noticed this part of Ray's post:

Hi Jeff (Ricks), feel free to engage in censorship (just like MADB does), and delete this thread, and the link. I fully understand. The truth hurts. Get rid of truth: Press "delete".

I am growing weary over righteous indignation concerning truth and censorship on piddly discussion boards. I am more concerned about our freedom of speech as a nation. Tirades like these are hilarious, especially when the group involved is a collection of private people who want to vent and commiserate about their lives as LDS and ex-LDS people.

Reminds me of people who love to call things Orwellian. I don't think they've actually read the book in most cases.
