In the wake of the recent goings-on (thanks, SeattleGhostWriter!) the moderating team has issued what seems to be, in effect, a declaration of war:
Nemesis wrote:This is not intended to start a board war but to make sure it is well documented of the Misogyny Practices brought to you by the posters of Mormon Discussions and its owner Dr. Shades who we are hoping will take this chance to do the right thing . They had a chance to make a real change in their board for the better yet they have have decided to use their board to unleash another unrestrained lewd attack on posters of this board, especially Juliann and somehow Calmoriah has been dragged into it. This attack was initiated by their posters Mrstaknovite and Trashcanman using Memegenerator.net. The picture in use was taken by The Deseret News for a Mormon Times Article and it is their property. Juliann has found some humor in some of them however most have stepped over the lines of decency. Eallusion has stepped up and stated disgust and I am sure Juliann appreciates it but as a whole the entire board stands together on promoting this behavior.
Anyways as much as it may soil our board it is time we start documenting their antics. Most of you have been consistent targets of their harassment for years now and may not know it. This is your chance to stand together if Dr. Shades won't show any responsibility as an administrator to control what goes on his board. We have generally left the board alone however if the irresponsible behavior continues from their administration I will create a forum and start documenting everything for posters here to use against them as you see fit. The game has changed folks being reasonable and attempting to reason with the group have failed.
You can see the misogynistic/lewd/pornographic messages for yourself but be warned of their graphic nature. http://memegenerator.net/Mad-Juliann
Other harassment this board has been faced with is done electronically with persistent ddos attacks on our server. We have had to take measures against it, but they are not fool proof and will eventually fail when the attacks evolve. This has also been initiated by a poster from Mormon discussions who is associated with the said group performing the attacks.
Thank you,
Nemesis
As a side note we asked Juliann if it was OK if we publicly address this and she gave us her permission.
I'm not sure that any commentary is really even necessary here. I rather suspect that Nemesis's message speaks for itself, on all kinds of levels.
ETA: (Okay, I have to chuckle just a bit at the fact that Nemesis offered up the disingenuous disclaimer "This is not intended to start a board war" at the outset. Good one, Nemesis.)

I thought several of the PG-13's were funny, but some of those most recent ones were just awful. And that's coming from me, who has seen everything on the Internet. Take down the nasty ones. Ugh.

MASH quotes I peeked in the back [of the Bible] Frank, the Devil did it. I avoid church religiously. This isn't one of my sermons, I expect you to listen.
I've complained about Will's behavior in the past, so to be fair I am compelled to say that the nasty comments involving Juliann are idiotic. I can appreciate parody and sarcasm to some degree, but this is getting ridiculous. Crude sexual comments aren't funny.
It should also go without saying, that I've never seen memegenerator before yesterday (or maybe Saturday) and I've never used it for anything other than viewing.

Juliann hasn't exactly been a beacon of kindness to me personally, but that stuff is disgusting. Whoever wrote that ought to be ashamed.

I don't know, but evidently there is a lot of other crap being done to MDD too. Why can't we just keep this on the level of argument over religion? Does it have to descend to this level? There really are no winners in this.

So how on earth do they feel confident in the conclusions they have reached? Is this simply a pretext for escalating what is obviously a board war at this point?
