You right ML ... I usually post in recovery...

You think I'm sickening???

I think the whole idea of what has transpired is sickening.

But to each their own.

Why on EARTH would I want to fuel ANY flames??

I'm a FBW... doing what I thought I could ...to return the support once offered to me.

But you're right...this is after all...your territory...and I will graciously ...bow out.

You need to find yourself a new witchhunt, knewbetter, because I assure you that this is a VERY DRY HOLE. And making false accusations against people with crap you just made up does not exactly soothe the dissension.

Witch hunting is precisely what two of your former members have accused some in your group of doing which is why I asked you the two questions. I would have thought that you would have been happy to answer them.

The first question was: What is your official board position on the issues that have caused the most strife on MB lately?

knewbetter, do you imagine that anyone who is against AFFAIR MARRIAGES does not have a RIGHT to express that viewpoint?.There are many well meaning, sincere people who do not believe that affair marriages belong on this site.

Of course there are, however the owners of this site do not exclude posters in affair marriages. This is why I asked about the agenda of your board. If there is a concerted effort coming from your site to exclude individuals (who until the Harleys say so, are welcome here), it should be addressed.

My second question was if your board’s philosophy/policy differs from the Marriage Builder’s website do you have a plan to deal with any issues that arise when members post on both sites?

I have accused you of nothing BTW….I am trying to give you an opportunity to explain your position here.

Regarding this quote: I am not sure where I stand on that point, but I am aghast at your lack of understanding and TOLERANCE for that position. They have every right to express such a viewpoint and to express their REAL GRIEF at having to endure an affair marriage. Why would you DISMISS them in such a way?

Pointing out that the Harley’s don’t exclude affair marriages from this site does not translate into ME dismissing anyone else’s opinion, how on earth did you draw that conclusion?

This is not about the right to express opinions. It is about individuals from a separate site chasing posters away from MB...It is reasonable to ask questions about where the site itself is coming from and certainly shouldn't be that difficult to answer if there is nothing to hide.

None of your business.

First off, you have no evidence of a "concerted effort" and are just talking crap. Secondly, no one here has the POWER to "exclude" any members besides the board owners and moderators.

But it is not reasonable to EXPECT answers about a board which is none of your damn business. It is a private board, dear. Understand? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I do believe she answered your questions earlier on the thread:

quote:
knewbetter, not that I owe you any explanation, but they are NOT "my members." They are individuals who have their own minds. There are members on my board who AGREE with the support of affair marriages and there are members who DISAGREE with the support of affair marriages. Most of those HERE on MB who disagree with such support ARE NOT EVEN ON MY BOARD.

ALL are staunch advocates of Marriage Builders principles, although they are not mind numbed robots who can't disagree with this or that element.
