You know, I remember the glory days of ZLMB, which some here remember. ZLMB was started in large part as a reaction to the heavy-handed moderation on the old UTLM board. Some of the UTLM stalwarts, such as "Webguy," posted a few times there.

Some of the early threads were based upon UTLM threads where we felt we did not get a fair shake. However, it wasn't long before ZLMB outgrew the "anti-UTLM" mode and got on with business.

In fact I don't think there was ever a time -- even in the first few months -- when we obsessed about UTLM as much as this shower obsesses about MA&DB. And you've been doing it for years.

Don't you think it's time you all grew up and got over yourselves?

And this ends my visit to these Shady parts. Goodbye to all, and good luck.

Regards,
Pahoran

I suspect this is because so many of us here were purged/banned from MADB for simply voicing opinions that Juliann, et al. wanted to squelch.

And this ends my visit to these Shady parts.

Too bad. I've enjoyed our conversation on the Martha Beck thread; unlike times in the past, you and I have had a substantive conversation without reverting to personal attacks.

Goodbye to all, and good luck.

My best to you and yours as well.

Yup. I called it correctly. Turn up the heat and the exodus is evident.

Bye, Pahoran.

This idea that the moderators are in a hard spot is silly. They have banned Dr. W for less than nothing and seemed to enjoy it. That board is full of retards.

I am not buying that their format is anything but a shame and a joke, just like their ideas.

Fail.

Doctor Communist Whore,

I am not a typical LDS poster and I do not provide an example of typical LDS posting habits. If I were to put this post on the MADB board and mention that you're a malignant cancer, and that your ideas and standards are a stain on collective humanity and that the sooner you sod off and die the better for all concerned I would be banned.

Death to the Infidel,

Herbert


Nehor, isn't freedom of speech wonderful? Anyway you are on a roll and for what it is worth, I agree. Even Pahoran might be banned for that. Heck, Juliann might even ban herself.
