What Is The Purpose Of This Board?

[DavidB]

I question the secondary pet purpose of this board. Recently this board has become the recess playground for others "adults" who have engaged in a days last fest of nitpicking, snark, insults, and general behaviour that many should be embarrassed about. While I understand the emotions are still high - a year later - but is the childish bickering just does not seem this board was intended for?

Though, I have good reason to believe that someone by the handle of Nemisis - who I believe has some kind of moderation authority on this board, has engage in the attacks against Bradford; (a post I came across last night when google searching Kristian question as to whether the Peterson/Bradford topic had been discussed on this board) which gives the impression that the dogpile and attacks on another otherwise worthy Member of the Church are acceptable conduct for this board...which is disappointing.

I like this board for the discussion about the Church, Gospel and Doctrine. However, a recess fight between 3rd graders is just unappealing to the board.

Moreover, such a childish antics only serve to empower the critics of the Church.

Despite whether a members of the Church is "Team Peterson" or "Team Bradford", we are all members of the Church.

And before anyone starts, I did report posts, and as I suspected when reporting the post the reports were futile - as there is apparently a sense "rally around the family with a pocket full of shells" going on. It is telling that just a few days ago a thread that seemingly attacked Daniel Peterson was locked almost immediately but a thread dedicated to attacking Gerald Bradford is permitted to remain open.

Hopefully, upstanding members of this board will see the "What has the new FARMS produced?" for what it is - an obvious attack thread against Gerald Bradford and MI.

I find it very saddening that suck an obvious attack thread was started by a current/former Bishop/Bishopric member and that several individual on both sides have been allowed to use this board as a battleground.

You are temporarily suspended. Please find or create another board to your liking.

Be he started it.

You make a valid point. I struggle to understand why some are so bothered by MI's new direction. If you don't like it, there are many other venues. Attacking Bradford only strengthens his position and is petty and juvenile. Although how the changes took place were equally inappropriate from what I understand, it is time to move on.

As I see it, Rongo started the thread in an effort to obtain information, clarification, enlightenment. At long last that is coming forth.

Now, you appear to be trying to shut it off through your board nannying. I hope you don't succeed.
