Am I responsible for the "culture" of MormonDiscussions.com?

You've enabled a culture and collection of misfits, losers, blasphemers and profaners, and some criminals. At least one of your mods piles on frequently, making your board liable for some of the goings-ons.

Great God's golden garter belts! Where are they?

Sorry - how is permitting free speech the moral equivalent of denouncing a friend to the police force of a country who you know will execute him for simply being an inconvenience to the powerful and rich?

Welcome to the board. Which category do you claim to belong to? Do you blame the founding fathers for every bit of abusive stupidity that is spoken in public or printed in the US? And of course no-one has to come here.

I am not sure what you think should happen to him. The decision of the Maxwell Institute not to publish his work was within their rights as a private body, but are you planning to stone him, exile him to Tierra del Fuego, or what? Fortunately, the US is not yet officially a 'decent Christian society', so Schrver's civil rights remain what they were.

My comment was responsive to the OP. I said nothing about free speech, nor did I advocate any punishment of Mr. Will Schryver.

If you are, then Juliann and DanG are responsible for Will Shyrver's shenanigans, the porn their participants view offline, and golly, the female mutilation that is still going on in parts of Africa.

You heard from their own mouths. They hate us for our freedom!

I've stated my grounds for the blame to be heaped of Mr. Dr. Shades.

Yeap - it was an admirable attempt...

It is absurd to compare my position to me blaming Thomas Jefferson for the things said by George Carlin or Howard Stern.

What is the difference in principle between

(a) setting up a country with free speech and not being responsible for how every idiot in the country exercises that right thereafter,

and

(b) setting up an internet board with free speech and not being responsible for how every idiot who joins the board exercises that right thereafter?

(Of course, the speech on this board is markedly less free in the most frequented forums than public free speech in the US, but I won't bother you with that.)

IS DR. SHADES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE "CULTURE" OF MORMONDISCUSSIONS.COM?

Was Judas Iscariot responsible for what the Jews did with his betrayal? He obviously did not intend the consequences.

The answer is: Yes.

The answer is No.

Gee, Yahoo. At least have the balls to name names. Otherwise you're smearing Liz unfairly.

You permit and endorse unrestrained personal attacks on TBMs. You may say that you are neutral; I'd say that a mod and a half are not.

Please don't disparage Liz; she doesn't deserve it. Speak your mind! It's allowed here!

That said, I whole-heartedly endorse Ms. Jack's expose of Mr. Will Shyrver, and that fellow ought to have no place in decent Christian society. But that's just my opinion.

Wow. He must have really pissed you off, for you to support his public humiliation at Jack's hands.

Hello,

The moderation policy on this board leads to bullying of TBMs. It is quite apparent, really. It is so plainly apparent who is responsible for the outrageous persecution of Julianne. It may not be you, personally, Harmony, but it is your friends you've enabled on this board. You can see for youself that one of them has urged on the similar meme persecution of myself for a mere 5 minute appearance on this board.

Wow. He must have really pissed you off, for you to support his public humiliation at Jack's hands.

That's absurd. I barely know who he is, but his writings and postings betray him. I didn't need Ms Jack to point that out to me, but I endorse her postings. Completely. I don't endorse Mr. Schryver's style, many of his posts and, in fact, I condemn them.

I wouldn't want to ever attend a panel where he was speaking or participate on one with him. My position about his posting has been consistent. There are many TBMs which share my beliefs nothwitstanding the absurdities of his defenders on this board and the other.
