For those who handicap MD&D posters like it's a day at the races, see if you can guess who was recently banned, as announced in this recent post:
12/6/2011
This board is a rare middle ground between bashing and cheer-leading and we would like to preserve it as a place for respectful dialogue, discussion and civilized debate.
Several posters were banned today for preaching or insulting other posters without any intent to dialogue. Despite repeated warnings they continued to distract from the discussion and make the board unpleasant for the rest of our valued posters.
Those banned were both advocates and critics of Mormonism. We welcome challenging topics and questions- we just ask that all posters be respectful to all points of view.
The moderation team doesn't expect perfection from our community but we do consider the content vs. noise ratio (contributions vs. trash talk) when making decisions about posting privileges.
Thank you for your contributions and respectful dialogue!

Twasn't me, and in the few minutes I've spent poking around I don't see any notables getting the ax.

Not banned and it would depend on how you define notable.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
And judging from the notice I get when I try and guest, my children are banned, their children are banned and so on for several generations until the lake of brimstone 'you know where' has ice on it.
