Excellent words, The Dude!
People have been making all those same accusations/predictions since the board was, oh, less than two weeks old.
They're nothing new. No matter how good the board gets in every way, people will still be prophesying doom and gloom. 'Tis all part of message board culture.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

AMEN, Dude! And, I've found my new signature! :)
Harmony just got PWNED.
... our church isn't true, but we have to keep up appearances so we don't get shunned by our friends and family, fired from our jobs, kicked out of our homes, ... Please don't tell on me. ~maklelan
In all honesty, I am sort of stunned to see a post like this from Harmony, of all people. Where is her evidence? Or, is this just a personal demand? I agree with The Dude, Dr. Shades, and others, that the only truly lame posts/threads are precisely of this kind. If you don't like the threads, start a new one. Be proactive. Be creative. I see that Harmony's last thread was about face cards. Is this the direction in which she'd like to see the board heading?
The other key indicator that this thread is a wash is the heavy participation of Jersey Girl. (By "heavy," I'm mean that her posts consist of more than a few sentences.) No poster in the history of MDB has made more silly demands of the moderators and administrative team. Honestly: Jersey has demanded a threaded view, different blog configurations, different colors for the board (to quote Harmony "Good grief!"), that questions be answered by Keene, and on and on and on. With this many obsessive, incredibly bossy requests, one has to wonder why she doesn't just start her own board.

Where are all these posters? These people added meat to our discussions. They added knowledge and now we are less, because they are not here. They may lurk, they may occasionally post, for the most part, they are not here.
Two more have now dusted us off. Will anyone but me even notice who they are and when they left?
What other evidence is needed, Scratch?

Please keep on staying on this Message Board, Harmony. Proposition 8 is a very hot Potato and a hot topic, Here in the Year of 2008. I Plan to keep on staying on this Message Board, until the day I die. Please Also Stay Harmony!.

You are by far, one of the most endearing human beings on face of the planet, Bracki!

OMG harmony. You really do spend much time on or thinking about this board.
There is this doorway on the front of the building which hold you in. Go towards it, pass through it to the natural analog world.
Spend some time outside, the weather is changing.

Scottie, as far as I know, did not say that he edited posts for spelling errors.
Yes, he has. It does bother some of us that anyone would edit our posts, not that they would be moved, but some folks see it as being tampered with. It really doesn't matter to me personally any longer.
I have, on extremely rare occasions, fixed blatant spelling errors.
I have also, quite often, fixed broken quotes and swear words.
I know you say it doesn't matter to you, but is this really a problem for other posters??
