I'm surprised at this, Mike. You seemed to be a fairly open-minded guy who enjoyed discussion. But I guess it's your show and you can do what you want with it.

For all the people who can't stand the anti's--why not just ignore them? Or don't read the religion posts? It seems sort of an easy solution. Censorship just opens up a whole new bag of worms.

I completely agree with SU and Adam on this--dishonesty crumbles on its own. It's the dishonest who try to curb dissenting voices as they are afraid it might take out their foundation. If the church is true, and I believe it is, I'm not sure what we have to fear from anti arguments. To censor them just wreaks of fear more than anything.

I'll agree the condescending tone gets old, so perhaps out of politeness everyone can work on this.

Just out of curiosity--are Adam and SU seriously more annoying than exUte?

You're quite new here, so you may have misinterpreted the innuendos and the targets. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.

Wouldn't be surprised at all. Waters' penchant for trolling has been as well established as yours.

It's the anti's trick to make this thread about exUte, make him the posterboy for censorship.

I chose to ignore any topics regarding the FLDS issue, since that horse has been beaten to death, and the only person really making a fuss anymore is exute. He doesn't really deserve the time it takes to argue with him.

And no - exUte easily tops both of them in terms of being annoying.

IMO, he's more of the guy trying to go the right direction by keeping the trail as far away as possible while still being able to see it....

will end up paying out millions of dollars and looking like fools. I guess you missed the Dateline NBC recently re: FLDS. Even the liberal media correspondent was surprised with the CPS actions.

I think the government needs more lemmings like you.
