*Ahem*
Getting rid of dissenters and questioners results in the death of a forum just as much as the opposing tact. I don't know how the FCF did it, but "back in the day", there was just as much questioning and debate--there was just a different dynamic. I don't know how it was accomplished, because I wasn't on the admin team, but
someone was doing their job right. I'm not saying the admin team NOW is doing a bad job, but something IS missing, there's no doubt about it.
You really need all corners covered; you need the doubters, the believers, the conservatives, the liberals, the pompous, the mice, the dumb ones, the smarties, the shallow, and the deep.
Debates on the FCF were not always respectful, and they were RARELY politically correct. Remember the Blue Denim Whales thread? Talk about getting hot under the collar--that one got on my last nerve! But did it get shut down? No. Were people allowed to say what they really thought? Yes!!!
Maybe Thad's Tab should be brought back. Maybe less censoring of things that interest
Apostolics is in order, and save the censorship for the really bad stuff, like people who just want to push the gay agenda, or mock Christians for their convictions. It all depends on your end goal: Do you want an Apostolic forum or not?
Maybe some previously banned members should be invited back....
Maybe....
I have work to do! This is very distracting. Thanks a LOT EA.
