Hey, JesusFan...

[Creed]

it seems though that he has already been asked to participate over here and has declined that invitation

Then I would suggest that this discussion should be taking place there, not here.

I think someone has a man crush on JonC. I’m not going to tell you his name, but it rhymes with “peed.”

Oh gee, I wonder who that could be.

 

[ALAYMAN]

If the heavy-handed manner which describes the moderator's participation in the other forum is accurately portrayed, I appreciate the heads up from people that I know here that are trustworthy. It's not as if I'm looking to join another forum, but if I were, that kind of stifling style of open discussion is very off-putting.

Your suggestion would require people to join another forum before they find out the moderator is a twit. I personally appreciate the advance review before I've made that decision.

Yes.

I personally appreciate the advance review before I've made that decision.

Until a decision is made, I suggest that everyone refrain from criticizing the man, as he is not here to defend himself.

I'm not saying that the folks here aren't trustworthy, but there's always two sides to every story and he isn't here to share his.

As has already been stated however, he has been invited and declined. Doesn't sound like he wants to tell his side of the story where he can't control the variables.

In some weird, roundabout way, I feel like you’re trying to recruit people on this forum to join that other forum. Either that or you’re actually the guy who you’re trying to defend. Either way, it’s weird.

I understand that he won't be joining us. Therefore, we shouldn't be making comments about his character until that changes.

That's what's great about this forum, people can disagree without being tossed or shunned by moderators. Many people disagree with your opinion on this subject. Public figures are not above criticism.

No, I am simply offering a rebuke to this ridiculous topic of discussion that has now gone on for nearly 7 pages. If the same thing happened to any of you guys, I would be on their case just as fervently.

I've decided that I'm never going to read another movie review again. I wasn't there for the advance screening and have no way of knowing what was going on. The director and actors aren't here to tell their side of the story. Therefore, movie crittics are just tawdry gossips telling tales out of school. The only way to know if a movie is bad is to buy a ticket and see it myself.

Apples and oranges.

Lol, of course you're wit is funny and you are on target, but ironically there is something to be said about not judging merely by reviews without having seen it for your own self.

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but the fact is, the cover tells you what the book is about, and also what some critics thought of it.

Anyone has the right to disagree with anything I've said. I think that I've made a pretty strong case, but unfortunately, it seems to be going in one ear and out the other for those who have been following along from the beginning of the discussion.

You claimed it was gossip, but that's factually inaccurate. Others have said they've personally experienced oppressive moderation, and given examples to demonstrate their claims. So people here hear and understand you they just disagree with your take.

 

[Creed]

Definition of gossip: to talk about other people's private lives, whether it's through rumors, unconfirmed information, or personal details.

@ALAYMAN, have you gone through the years of the Baptist Board archives to confirm the information for yourself?

Again, you've been refuted on your definitions. A public forum, by definition, is not private.

I understand that it's a public forum. Now that we're in agreement on that, I'll ask you again: have you gone through the years of the Baptist Board archives to confirm the information for yourself?
