Hey, I resent that. Some eccentricities are harmless. A lot of people here have been booted from FAIR-MAD-MDD.

Opinion for Ceeboo

We need to see more Ceeboo, Asbestosman, Consiglieri and Bokovoy.

Oh yeah, more Blixa to class this joint up.

More of the old Ceeboo. Not the new jaded Ceeboo.

Some people are booted from MAD for not bowing before the Church of FAIR. Those people are great. Others are booted because they're too nutty/fundie even for their fellow Mormons to tolerate. It's the latter that I was talking about.

My opinion of the forum lately is there seems to be a lot more people complaining about the forum.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

I posted on another board for a while a few years back. It was Anti dominate. The anti's would sit salivating, waiting for a pro to drive by, then would gang tackle em, make them feel completely unwelcome, then complain about not having anybody to debate with. It was an anti whining grounds. I guess it provides a niche for some.....but it got boring to me.



The same thing is true for the Mad board. They crave anti's, otherwise their bored. You'll never see Pahoran post except to lambaste an anti with his (mother) superior intellect.



I like this board, it has the best balance.

My opinion is that I'm glad I haven't been banned yet. I'm also glad that I haven't wanted to be banned yet.

I'm also happy to say that this is the place I learned about blueberries and rubber sheets.
