At some point they it seems they realized they did not like the idea of anyone arguing against their "truth" and they did not relish the idea of making counter arguments. I agree that perhaps...PERHAPS some of their REAL ideals for the forum were not vocalized or perhaps they just never realized how much they could not tolerate it. But what happened was an evolution in process. The ideal in the beginning was one forum for everyone of Apostolic background....regardless of whether they were one steppers or three and whether they were full blown standards or not. That was the original intention
Here I am inclined to agree with you.
Again I think you may be right. FCF was sort of a no bars hold forum. And I remember them posting an article by Robert Sabin arguing against the evidence doctrine.
Exactly. However it is my feelings that because many just don't care for debate like this that such topics should be out of the main fellowship area. This board was originally meant primarily as a place of fellowship. Not everyone has the stomach for that kind of stuff. However what because absurd to me was that they even complained about doctrines being argued on a separate area made just for debate. They could not tolerate the fact that this board was allowing discussion at all....they did not have to go to that area to read them. It was out of sight and out of mind...but they HAD to go looking for it so they can have something to complain about.
I see it as being an equal opportunity offender. The libs and cons were both equally offensive. They had different methods for doing so which might make it hard for some to distinguish, but they were both guilty
Wait till he gets married...his posts will be less and less :-)
DA was banned permanently. This did not change a thing. He was only allowed back after certain owners decided to abandon ship. They no longer had a say in the matter, though we "heard" of their complaints after the fact...
Nobody has to leave. They can ignore Dan....if a topic is too much for the fellowship area we can move it to the debate area...out of sight and out of mind....but you know that never mattered. All that mattered was that it was being discussed here and that goes against their thinking...the same sort of thinking that brought in the famed Affirmation Statement.

I have to agree with this - I don't believe it (AFF) was continued from NFCF with the idea that it was going to be "rigged". However, ONE incident set things into motion that changed the course of how AFF flowed. From then on there was a charge to "clean things up around here" which caused some ripples, which caused a few more, then some left.
