But, I think this Brandon716 came in from out of nowhere and deleted the wrong thread: the CCC thread. I've sent messages to both Brandon and Viperlord to figure this out. I really think it was a miscommunication. Brandon said that there were a lot of posts that had to be deleted in the CCC thread. But, really I think he misunderstood. It was the Irrelevant Thread that had the problems. I have tried to get this clarified with both of them. I have requested Brandon to re-discuss this with Viperlord, and to reopen the CCC thread b/c of all the info we had posted there. I don't recall any problems in the CCC thread. Do any of you? |
You're basically spot on Orlando. Other than the occasional outburst from UB, which past posts and angry followups had already been deleted, there were no problems with the CCC Thread. However, once the Irrelevant Thread had been deleted it would seem that UB needed another outlet and chose to sling a major stink bomb on the CCC Thread. UB couldn't even wait 24hours after the deletion of the Irrelevant Thread. Of course, I guess it's no surprise, as many of local threads were regularly peppered with this incipid trash, and then subsequently deleted. I can understand Viperlord's frustration with the matter. In this particular instance, UB proclaimed that the LDS leadership is of course going to discriminate against those who would occupy City Creek.
The Original Quotes are below,which started the whole mess. About eight to ten forumers became very frustrated/insensed with UB. As is always the case, this rhetoric only escalated back and forth, and UB refused to back down or apologize. Subsequently, Wasatch One pointed out to UB that there were at least 9 forumers, and the list was growing, who wanted him banned if he didn't stop the inappropriate mud slinging. One moderator in particular felt that we had a mob mentality and had unfairly ganged up on UB.
Whatever the case, and frankly I hope I'm not banned or suspended for saying this, "It was absolutely unecessary to delete the CCC Thread." I will not argue with the many forumers that choose not to ignore the very constant, regular, loathsome and personal generalizations regarding their religion. There has been for quite some time now one and only one forumer who continually pushes these hot point buttons. He knows full well what the result will be. He has been repeatedly asked by all forumers, Gay, Straight, Agnostic, Religious and Non-Religious to STOP. He was continually reminded, that at the very least this was not an appropriate forum for this kind of rhetoric.
Never, NEVER was the regular Mormon bashing STARTED by another forumer. EVERY TIME it started from only one source. To ask the many forumers to just ignore it, and give them as their only recoarse, to leave the forum, is very disheartening and WRONG. And then to add insult to injury, this forumer is given a complete pass!

Will there be a completely different entity taking care of that, or will it just be another "business arm" of the LDS church?  |
