Nemesis Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 It was political and we have a couple of posters that insist on being hyperbolic to eachother. If you could get them out of the threads so I didn’t have to address so many reports on them, it wouldn’t be a problem. A bigger issue is that they feed off eachother and then others pile in so I can’t just ban the original perpetrators, I have to shut down the thread or spend more time modding everyone’s posts.

You could make me a mod and I could take care of it. *evil laugh* Link to comment

There are thousands of other places on the internet to discuss this. With people who actually know and understand history and the the current situation. A Mormon perspective is largely irrelevant and unnecessary. I agree with this. This is just my safe place, I trust no one is too extreme or gullible here and it is way easier to tell myself I have learned enough and don’t have to go looking so I can avoid going down the rabbit hole and losing 4 hours before I realize what happened (I think it was 6 hours the first night…maybe that was the second, but typically my ventures down the rabbit hole last about 4 hours) But it is over the top political among other things, so it is very understandable if it is off limits even if I wish it were different for selfish reason.

I understand. Thanks for letting it go as long as it did. Link to comment

We have some very intelligent board members who are academically impressive to me. That is why I love to discuss things here too, but it can..well, does get personal unless someone is there keeping an eye on threads and reminding everyone to stay focused like I did on the Covid threads I started (and others helped too). That was likely a lot of work for the mods. Link to comment
