Moderating Concerns-Split from A Wish for Priesthood Blessings

[_consiglieri]

Although I do love liz and consig A LOT.

The feeling is mutual, I assure you.

Blixa is currently over on another thread saying that the reports of rapes during MMM are not deemed by historians to be true or accurate. She does that frequently. She is respectful even when she points out problems with the LDS doctrines or practices.

And why not if a critic got it wrong? But I would like to see her begin a thread that is prolds.

No one has said she shouldn't they are saying you are wrong that Blixa doesn't defend against critics

[_cafe crema]

Exactly. I am also amazed at the shifting of the complaint. First the problem is that critics name call and sling poo...now it is that they need to start proLDS threads. It is ridiculous.

Yep everyone should be pro-LDS and extoll it's wonderfulness.

But she is certainly not prolds.

But I would like to see her begin a thread that is prolds.

ETA: And if we are gonna talk about fair I don't think that many of the defenders can claim that they are always fair to the critics or the critical POV.

And Why me never takes them to task over it.

As strange as this may seem, Blixa and I might actually know each other. Not now but in the past. This would depend if she was in New York in the late 70's and in the early 80's. I wouldn't be surprised if we crossed paths.

Did you live in a squat in Alphabet City? Hang out at Save the Robots or A7? Dodge the cops while spray painting graffiti through the West Side piers?

I try to be as fair as possible in my discussions of the church.

I did the same, attended all meetings of the church.
There is a Hungarian saying: Hear and see much, say little. (Sokat hallj, láss, keveset szólj.)

But being fair doesn't mean I force myself to be positive all the time.

After six years I became less positive, said enough is enough, and left.

I've heard and seen too much.

Outside of church events, you could have found me in the strand book store hanging out in the literature section. Or taking part in the no to the neutron bomb demonstration or in washington square park watching the chess players or at the jefferson bookshop at union square. And taking part in the may day march at union square.

But I did enjoy your art on the west side. And also in the subway.

I like you too...lets all give each other a group hug!

LOL!

[_Jersey Girl]

No, you haven't. In fact, my skin is pretty thick. I don't take it all personally. But many of the defenders don't have thick skins. They leave. I think that when critics begin to insult defenders, the moderators should step in to cool down the personal name callings etc. Maybe this would get the defenders to stay a little longer.

It may surprise you to learn that you aren't the lone voice here. I discussed this issue for two solid weeks. Thanks for noticing the effort I made and the time I invested in doing so.

Not.
