Neuro is totally right here guys, check it out. It’s like a “Bizarro World” version of the SDMB. EXACT opposites, notice how blood-red and hellish theirs looks as opposed to our pillowy, blue and white heavenly decor. * * * Where’s my side of FUN!? Kisses! Ophy ---

There’s several people over at the LBMB who start anti-Mormon threads almost daily, which is why I left their company behind. :rolleyes: * * * Lemonade…10 cents Snakes…50 cents ---

I checked it out, and I clicked on “register” (just to see what theyd ask for - I had no ideas of posting anarchic little messages, nope, not me) - and guess what - they said “We are not accepting new registers at this time.” So, like, does that mean that the 144,000 spaces in heaven have been filled?

On a related point, I have heard the term “pounder” used to refer to the LBBB types. I had assumed it was like “Bible-thumper”. Am I right? ---

Just so history doesn’t repeat itself, you should know what happened in the battle between the dopers and the pounders. Some of the dopers (including one of our beloved moderators) with too much time on their hands decided to launch an attack on LBBB. The pounders quickly realized where the attack came from and launched a very effective counter strike (having the advantage of superior numbers). Things got very ugly on both sides. The sad irony is that one board’s credo is fighting ignorance and the other’s credo the literal word of the Bible and both sides showed a lack of intelligence and Christian values. Apologies were issued on both sides and the pounders were called home. I assume that the same thing happened over there. The hostile ones left. A few seemed genuinely interested in SDMB and were welcomed to stay. I think their presence enriched this board. I haven’t seen much of them lately, though. ( **Flinx** , did you come over here at that time?) Sometimes I lurk over there, but I since am a Gay atheist who believes in evolution, I don’t think I would fit in there. If you are genuinely interested in contributing to LBBB, I suppose you could e-mail one of their administrators and ask about registration, but _please_ don’t go over there with the intention of setting those people straight. I have no intention registering myself. It’s just too strange for me. I can’t resist sharing the following from the thread I linked to above: > [@](#): > > Originally posted by Ben johnson (on [LeftBehind.com](http://LeftBehind.com)): > \*\* “No I’m not homophobic, I’m _hosemetic!_” > “What’s that mean?” > "Well, ‘Hose’ from HomoSexual, and “Emetic”!

Some of the dopers (including one of our beloved moderators) with too much time on their hands decided to launch an attack on LBBB. Speaking of history, I see it’s already being rewritten. There was **NO** attack. Some dopers registered there and opened a dialogue with some of the LB members. Although the debates were civilly conducted, when the LB’s discovered who the doperes were, they came and attacked **this board** because they felt duped. I repeat: There was one attack, and we were on the receiving end. Period. * * * ---

“There was NO attack” Clumsily put. I meant of course, that there was no attack by SDMB. What they did to us was disgusting. If you have time to spare, rummage through the old threads of both boards to see how the events unfolded. Turn the other cheek? Those morons never heard of it. ---

**WallyM7** I apologize for the inaccuracies in my description of what happened. I did not participate in what happened. I was not lurking on LBBB at the time, so I really don’t know what happened over there. My report is based upon what I saw here (mostly after the fact). I would say even if the intention was rational discourse and not an assault on LBBB, it was perceived as an attack by some pounders. Maybe the light of reason threatens their belief structure too much. There was much hostility on both sides regardless of who started it. I personally don’t like those people very much. (They scare me.) I just do not want to see a repeat. About rummaging through old threads. You may be able to do that here, but over there old threads (or threads they don’t like) seem to disappear. All threads and posts (at least on The Narrow Road) dated before 3-21-2000 were deleted “(d)ue to some technical issues”. My guess is that they were hacked. * * * Virtually yours, DrMatrix ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Myron Van Horowitzski: > > \*\*Oh My GOD! First it was evolution, now MY FAVORITE FABRIC! I can’t stand it! {hee hee} Satin. Classic. Being a member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronsim - “Those weirdo medievalist group”) in the east, I annually attend a big fete in western PA called the Pennsic War with 10,000 of my closest friends. The locals love us, as we give them much commerce for two weeks in August, but some of them still don’t understand us. While standing in line at the local fabric store, a local approached a gaggle of us (whilst we were in garb, no less) and asked if we were Satanists. Deadpanning, and without missing a beat, dear dear Master Giles responded, “No, dear, we’re _satinists_, and we’re just picking up a few things for our ritual tonight.” We cackled, the local was befuddled.

Before someone else finds it, let me point out another error I made. The thread I thought was “Ask the Fundamentalist” was actually [Questions for Fundamental Christians](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000930.html) started by **Navigator** who hasn’t been seen since February of this year. (Did the rapture happen?) **Satan** (or was it **Stan A** ;)) suggested the title “Ask a Fundie” and I thought of that as the title. * * * Virtually yours, DrMatrix ---
