It was up on CA Steinmsan's Thread earlier this evening (my time). More than that I do not know. I am in Oman with few Internet resources and have apparently been banned (at least temporarily) over at MDD.

But the nice thing is that the moderators over there know what Schryver actually posted, since it is hard to delete a post without reading it ...


Doesn't seem to prevent them from banning people who dare to post evidence of Schryver's misdeeds and less than honest behavior.


It seems that this refers to you:

Of course, if brave, virile William Schryver came over here and posted his version of things, he could show us how right he is in a brace of shakes.

(He could keep copies of all his posts to make sure they weren't altered after the event, of course.)

But you know what? He is a weak-chinned and basically cowardly guy hiding behind a beard, and is scared witless that the girls here will be rude to him. So we shan't be seeing him around.

MDD is banning people for calling Schryver on his lies. Just when you think they couldn't sink any lower. :lol:

No worries: I brought a veggie platter.

I was one of the non-LDS mods for the now-defunct soc.religion.Mormon, which at the time had a reputation for draconian moderation policies. But SRM mod policy was all rainbows and kittens compared to the juvenile churlishness that passes for moderation at MD&D.

I checked the post from JNClone when Chap first noted it on this thread, because I was curious to know if it was an MDBer who had just registered an account there for the purpose of contradicting William. S/he had over 549 posts at MDDB.

"Obvious MDB poster"? Yeah right.

I'm not surprised in the least. They always were bizarrely protective of his misogyny.

I should find time to update this thread this week, and I'll be documenting everyone who is defending this stuff.

We have this from Scott Barton at 11:35 today:

http://www.mormondialogue.org/topic/582 ... 1209140527

For my own benefit (and perhaps for the benefit of any others who may be similarly unclear on what exactly constitutes objectionable posting in this thread), am I to understand that responding to Will's post (which has been permitted to remain) will be considered a derailment punishable by account deactivation? Thanks in advance for clarifying.

Respectfully,
Scott


I suspect that even this modest request may meet with a ban.

I'm inclined to agree. Scott Barton has made only 3 posts: one questioning a mod, one embedding a Tim Minchin video, and one suggesting that DCP use his blog instead of the MADhouse to bitch about his critics. (And, if I'm not mistaken, Scott Barton was the name of a prominent poster during the whole Time Lightbox fiasco.)

Scott Barton is done for.

Teancum has 2,448 posts on the MADboard. Will they ban him too?

But now Teancum has edited his post to:

Deleted based on moderators point above.


That edit was done at 12:11. So thanks to my having looked at the board during those 2 minutes, we know what Teancum thinks about Schryver.
