Guest Scott Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 I can't imagine him doing anything to get banned, so did he just leave and ask for his account to be deleted? I have been out of the loop. Quote
Guest Godless Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Yes. He got fed up with the way things have been on the forums, so he had his account deleted. I've drastically scaled back my participation on here for the same reason. Quote
Traveler Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Not to ruffle any feathers but I was taught by my parents not to determine my actions depending so much on the choices of others but rather to determine my course and (symbolically speaking) set my sales and rudder to take me where I intended to go; regardless of what direction the wind blows or the destiny of others. I will miss the contributions of Mormongator and the full participation of @Godless The Traveler Jamie123 1 Quote

This forum is for the Church of Christ's restored Gospel. And all are welcome here as long as respect that. A large part of the Church membership (or at least the membership represented here) tends to have the same political leanings. This leads those that feel differently to feel like they are second class citizens. It does not help that we are all flawed and are not as Christ-like as we should be.

NeuroTypical Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 I got to meet him in person a few months ago when he drove through Colorado. He continues to be a heck of a guy, and is doing well. Just_A_Guy, Midwest LDS, Still_Small_Voice and 4 others 7 Quote

Expand I don't know anyone here who has a political leaning one way or another. Definitely not this guy, Wink. 😉 I'll do my part to tone it down and go back to the good ol' hay days. I've seen conservative and liberal talk from many participants but excluding myself I don't think I've actually heard anyone else say I'm for (Trump or Biden). We have an election upon us... perhaps a time when the subject is more relevant. Christ does come first though. Midwest LDS 1 Quote

My perception of things wasn't a rift of politics as much as it is a rift of faith. This site strongly supports the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That doesn't mean that it is forbidden to question or disagree with some things taught, but I would imagine it can get uncomfortable for those with strong opinions who either are not members or those who are inactive members. Probably more so for inactive members who still profess to be members, because the laws and expectations of Heavenly Father don't change just because you choose to ignore them.

Kawazu Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 I have not been on here in something like eight years. It is strangely reassuring to see that many of you familiar faces are active and present. Just_A_Guy and Still_Small_Voice 2 Quote
