The moderation is so weighted that one must tone down the truth in order to stay away from being banned. That doesn't happen here, but human nature will dictate that people who wish to form cliques will do so, and if someone like Stem who begs for attention (remember the "should Stem stay or should Stem go" thread?) throws the first stone, the end result is this thread. While some of it has been too mean in my opinion, "chumps" in the OP pretty much set the stage.
This board jumps on the TBMs insults them. Period. If posters want Mormons to post here, then the tone must change. The insults must stop and so must the personal attacks. What other sites do is their own business. But this site is a gang up on TBMs.
So do you think the Mormons should stop the insults as well, or don't they do that?
Look around a bit before you answer that. One or two Mormon posters are way up on that list.

I sing alto in the MDB choir. And I'm very loyal.

Folks on this board sometimes seem to forget that there are real people, with real families and feelings, on the other end of the phone line.

Classic bully response. It's all the victim's fault for being too weak, or too thin-skinned. It could never be the bully's fault.
Quit posting and turn off the board !!!
Exactly. If people were treating me like stem was treated, that's exactly what I would do: quit posting and turn off the board. So if MDB wants to keep its Mormon posters, it's going to have to stop the bullying. Thanks for illustrating the point.

That clicking and clacking noise is the sound of the musicians closing their instrument cases as a prelude to going to the lobby to wait for mom to pick them up.
