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

I see no point in trying to convert this board into a clone of MAD. Those who prefer to post in a protected zone can either stay in MAD for good

This is a protected zone. Protected by the anti-Mormon and critic militia.

Mr Monson instructs you to stay away from anti-Mormon material, and yet here you are. Perhaps you should talk to your Bishop about this, your habit of untruthfulness and that other 'little' problem you have...

Yup. Belmont's posts are always getting deleted, and if he says something rude about anti-mormons it is censored straight away. Belmont himself was banned from this board long ago.

Not.

In fact his problem is that if people here think that one of his posts is mistaken, or even mendacious, they get to say so, and the people who read the board get to decide who is right for themselves without anyone fixing the game by banning a poster whose opinions they don't like.

I know that seems bizarre to Belmont. To others, it may sound like how a free society works.

Kishkumen seems to think I've made it perfectly clear:

Simon's activity here should be a clear warning to everyone. Simon has long made it his explicit purpose to mold this board in his own image by mindlessly harassing people who criticize the LDS Church or its apologists.

I "mindlessly harass" only those who "mindlessly harass" my faith, like the disease "Joseph," and the vulgar child "CamNC4Me."

Others I am perfectly fine with, even friendly toward, but am often met with condescension and skepticism.

Hmmm... Simon. You are the person who has shadowed Doctor Scratch from almost the beginning of your time on MDB. You even claimed that you would "taken him down." So, I don't agree with you when you say that you have only targeted people who "mindlessly harass" your faith, allegedly Joseph and Doctor Cam. No, you have been a tenacious harasser of critics of Mopologetics. And, should you try to claim that Doctor Scratch is a "mindless harasser" of apologists, then you have fatally compromised your credibility among all but the apologists themselves.

Just about every Mopologist could be catalogued in a similar manner,

Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! Catalog me!

[_MCB]

'bestos-- you defy cataloguing. It is hard for me to tell whether you are LDS or not. And that is a good thing.

You are not a mopologist, therefore you don't belong in the catalogue. Remember-- a mopologist is a member of the LDS church who uses abrasive and fallacious apologetic techniques, in a struggle to hold to the rod.

Sui generis and in need of cloning.

It appears that Nemesis has stepped up his rhetoric against Dr. Shades and this board. This was just posted by Nemesis over at MAD:

I have kept silent all weekend to see where things went and give Shades time to think things over and perhaps come up with a good plan to change his board from a staging platform for attackings members of this board to a board that discusses issues. Instead he has used the time to deflect blame onto me making his boards assault on Juliann and this "Board War" my creation. I wish to remind him that all this drama has been created by posters of his board and himself promoting such behavior. Even in Liz's attempt at reconciliation we see how she places blame on us stating they will stop attacking us if we stop attacking them. We have never started nor would I let this board be used to attack them. I will give Liz a lot of credit at the attempt which has been drowned out by the minority once again. If she can continue to try to initiate change there I think it will be a huge benefit to the board and allow for some real reconciliation and perhaps healing will begin. However we will no longer sit quiet while Shade's board continues to be irresponsible and allows attacks on people that have no involvement with their board.

I will continue to hold Shades publicly accountable for any more attacks his board hosts on the posters or administration of this board and will continue documenting their antics. If he doesn't like that nor want be held personally accountable then he can make a very simple change that will improve his board and keep real people from being the targets of his participants. It is my hope they will initiate such change and that this will be my last post on the matter.

On a side note a few accusations have come up and I wish to clarify and they are as follows;

1. I Have not engaged in any attacks on any of the posters of that board. I have no reason to.
2. We do not ban 78% of posters here. Where they got their figures is beyond me, the actual percentage is 10% including spammers and bots.
3. All threads that have no activity over 30 days are automatically locked to prevent thread necromancy so the actual thread closures are in the 1k+.

Nemesis seems pathologically incapable of admitting that anyone on his forum could be responsible for any of this in any way.

Actually "Dr" Scratch, a.k.a. Dan Peterson's Malevolent Stalker, is the poster child for mindless harrassment. In identifying him as a "mindless harasser," Simon's credibility is perfectly safe with anyone whose view of reality is not blocked by Scratch's intestinal wall.
