Once again I've missed the fun...
...So let's see if I've got this right.
From what I've heard, some years ago, when he was still one of your lot, SeattleGhostWriter wrote some "erotica" which was placed on an Internet site he didn't control.
Later on, he repented and returned to the Church, but was unable to get his material removed from that site.
Then Polygamy Porter decided to follow the example of the muck-raking diva and go after SGW. In the process, he posted copyrighted photos of SGW and his family.
Am I on track so far?
AFAICT, all of this provoked nothing more than cheers, hoots of glee and assorted barnyard noises from the usual suspects. SGW then issued a take-down notice to the board, and the webhost, purely for the copyright images.
The Webhost then took the board offline for a couple of days.
I know that insincere expressions of regret are all the rage around here -- Ms Jack is almost as skilled at them as she is at dishing the dirt -- but I'm not jumping on that bandwagon. All I can say is that it couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch.
But I do have a suggestion: How about, instead of creating spiteful vendettas against individuals, you change the culture here so that you can discuss ideas and events, and leave personalities out of it?
Interesting concept!
In the meantime, I have a question; two, actually:
Who was the MDB moderator (or "upper echelon someone" ) who offered drugs for sexual favours? And who orchestrated the cover-up?
Regards,
Pahoran

Pahoran,
Why does a Mormon need to be distanced from the church to write erotica?

You don't have it right. Please go back on read the relevant posts and summaries on this topic--then correct this OP, if you want others to take you seriously on this particular subject.

In short, if you're going to write apologetic, faithful LDS material, don't publish porn at the same time.

Re: Once again I've missed the fun...
You are right on target with your interpretation. But I have no idea about your ending with drugs. Many of the posters here have personality fetishes. They love apologist personalities, especially if they can malign them.
I felt sorry for SGW. The fetish blood was dripping from certain vampire mouths for a while. But I think that it is now passing.

I find it shameful to use a very troubled person's problems to score points against the posters here.

In short, give a guy a break and let sleeping dogs rest. But here on this board, the vampires came out at the smell of blood and sucked it dry. It wasn't a pretty picture. But it could be a good plot for twilight.

And this should be remembers by you when the MDB vampires come out for blood.

Thank you, Pahoran. This is an excellent synopsis. What brings this sort of behavior out in fellow "human beings"?

Dunno. You tell us.
Nobody has ever offered me drugs for sexual favors, on this board or in real life. I have never offered anyone drugs for sexual favors, on this board or in real life.
I have never, ever, heard any rumors that anyone did anything of the kind in association with activities on this board. I think you will get that answer from pretty well every other poster here, and it would be sincere.
So unless you are going to play the wenglund 'You all have to deny doing anything bad before I say anything' game (yawn ...), how about cutting to the chase and telling us all:
1. What exactly it is that you believe happened on this board, and when.
2. What grounds you have for thinking that such a thing occurred.
3, What relevance the alleged event has to discussions about Mormonism. We never, after all, said that the posters are perfect, to coin a phrase.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
