The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say.
You did this because you were personally annoyed by what seemed to you be a pattern of off-topic, derailing posts about Hungary. What you never quite got is that a lot of those "off-topic" posts had topic-relevant points that others appreciated. That others kept telling you this never really moved your opinion enough to matter. It is because you are literal-minded to a fault.
The topic-relevant points were too minor to salvage the rest of the posts from the off-topic genus.
Cough-jubilee-cough.......
Jubilee from the past, not jubilee from the future.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Trump does like his war criminals. He probably has a sense of camaraderie with the criminal part.

That was your answer to my specific question about how Mormon scientists view the relationship between God and the Big Bang.
Many Mormon scientists, I didn't say "all".
Res Ipsa wrote:Now you're claiming that these mystery scientists won't say what they believe in public. That directly contradicts what you said at the beginning of the post: "Because there is no well-defined Mormon cosmology he can believe what ever he wants about the origin of the universe." If he can believe whatever he wants, why does he have to hide what he believes?
To avoid judgment from ignorant LDS members, including local leaders. Many LDS scientists also believe in human evolution, but will never say that in a LDS publication.

I think it is quite likely American democracy is disintegrating, though this is a stepwise process that is hard to know exactly where you are when you are the middle of it. It's so much easier to see when it's happening in some other nation. We've got some upcoming events that should make things more clear.
I just peeked in now. I didn't expect the thread to go where it has gone.
American democracy began falling apart since Ronald Reagan. Donald Trump is just the symptom, not the problem.
Some here may also remember there were other posters around the same time challenging Shades on similar but not exactly the same issue. Shades was against nudity in art in ways reminiscent of BYU or the LDS church but it is what it is. It got zeezrom put on queue. MrStak had his stone penis avatar as part of the protest. If anything, Shades seems to have been consistently unwilling to give to anyone on the issue or care what they thought. So.
This is essentially what is behind the hostility between the two. It went both ways, too. The board lost out for it, and as the board proprietor I tend to think it is up to Shades to recognize when he is the key to resolving such hostilities. But I wouldn't pretend that ludwigm did nothing or that Shades was completely irrational.
Grumpy old men, in three words.
But msJack’s avatar that looked like a wax candle penis was up for a very long time. If I recall correctly, she voluntarily changed it. Did her avatar not reach the threshold of actionable offense?

I didn't notice it.
