As to this thread being moved, and your now open hostility toward a religion whose adherents are generally conservative, well it does not bode well for this forum. Not because Mormons will break you or anything silly like that, but because “who is next” will be on people's minds and as soon as censorship is the norm on the forum, well other forums will get traffic that was here.

"Censorship is the norm on this forum"? Hardly. A few years ago when posters who debated the rampant mormon proselytizing were being banned and suspended, where was your defense of "free speech"? I particularly remember YOUR part in baiting "antis" into responses that got them zotted.

Your prediction sounds more like a wish as far as forum traffic is concerned.

The importance mormons claim for their church and for themselves is laughable. If you would bother to read this thread, you would find that the mormon message is being soundly rejected by the majority of FReepers that have posted here.

Hmmmm, I too remember the "hosing the pigs" campaign organized by mormons in an attempt to overwhelm the forum with lds posts in an effort to silence Christian responses. Even with some looking longingly to the days of the Nauvoo Expositor and the dannites as means to defeat mormon opposition.

I only know of one anti who Got zotted in a debate with me, and for that I have expressed regret many times.

As for free speech, there are rules here, the consequences for breaking those rules is also known. Enforcement should be universal and predictable, not aggressive and capricious.

Your prediction sounds more like a wish as far as forum traffic is concerned.

It's not a prediction, it's a fear.

The importance mormons claim for their church and for themselves is laughable.

Many religions say that about all other religions, yawn.

Without trying to read all the hundreds of posts, I will readily concede that the majority of the posts on this thread are negative toward my religion... So?

Jesus would not have won a popular vote in his mortality either.

This was a caucus thread which it is highly unlikely I would ever have posted on that was summarily moved to breaking news, and stripped of it's caucus status. No due process, not moved to the back room, the rules were broken, and at the highest level of this forum.

Are you comfortable with that?

Delph
