Wow. That was not under the radar for long at all.

Added: Not that I know anything. I'm just impressed by the detective skills and/or OCD displayed in the question.

The really scary thought, Papa Moose posting only as often as Kathryn Janitor did. [Frown]

The upside, maybe Kathryn Kidd would post more often.

Cool! If asked to choose one person who I think would make a good hatrack mod, Papa Moose would definitely be on my short list.

He'll do a great job. [Smile]

Elizabeth, she's leaving Nauvoo, too, and it has to do with her schedule being busy and having to work.

I get the impression it's supposed to be secret, but I'm not sure why. Do you have to apply to post there? I've never tried, I have no idea, but I know that, for example, my sorority has a password protected forum where we can talk about stuff. Maybe it's sorta like that. [Dont Know]

Because Starways Congress said no.

Actually, it has to do with the terms of service. To prevent the anti-Mormon hulabaloo that comes up in LDS discussions, you have to sign a code of conduct to register at Nauvoo.

I think it's the linking to specific threads.

Specifically, they want avoid one forum poring over and criticizing the posts on another forum, especially when the forum under scrutiny is supposed to be a safe and warm place where people don't have to be on the defensive.

"Or because people get banned for mocking on Nauvoo..."

Hm. I submit that someone is more likely to be banned from this site for repeatedly mocking Nauvoo than someone is likely to be banned from Nauvoo for repeatedly mocking something at Hatrack. As a specific example, I've seen criticisms of and generalizations about non-Mormons at Nauvoo that I believe would not be permitted if directed toward Mormons and posted to Hatrack.

I understand why this is, mind you. It's peaceful and harmonious and beautiful and all that precisely because the acrimony is directed for the most part at people who can't defend themselves; this tends to make the acrimony itself considerably less acrimonious, since it passes without comment. [Smile]

-------

BTW, let me just say that if Moose is being paid anything decent for this that I'm extraordinarily happy for him, as this may well turn out to be a best-of-both-worlds situation for his family. *grin* But if he is, he's going to have to start hosting his own barbecues. [Smile]

Out of curiosity, why do you read Nauvoo?

That's not an accusatory question - I'm honestly curious.

I've read Nauvoo, too. I was curious about it, so I have taken a look at some of the discussions on very rare occasions.

I read Nauvoo because I am fascinated by Mormon culture and intrigued by the sociological impact of the religion on its members. Since Nauvoo is largely a protected site -- being Mormon-only -- it means that its members post more freely there and are able to touch on a broader and more unconsciously honest range of topics than if they were constantly forced to defend the same narrow "battleground" in debate after debate with nonbelievers. It means they're free to disagree with each other on dogma and deeper doctrines that they'd avoid discussing elsewhere, lapse into members-only lingo, and even honestly discuss their problems with the faith and the culture in a way that being forced to publicly defend it would prevent them from doing. Nauvoo is, in a very real way, a glimpse of the kind of society the Mormons would create if they could run the world as a discussion board.

My interest is, in a way, kind of anthropological. I find it deeply intriguing.

(That said, I don't read it that often; I swing by about once a month, since traffic is so low there by comparison that it's easy to catch up and skim the interesting and/or busy topics.)

Hmmm...so it's a way to find out what Mormons say to each other about their religion when the non-members aren't listening.

Theoretically, anyway.

*resists*
*fails*
But that means you care about it. [Smile]

Well, no, Katie's kind of right. I read Nauvoo instead of reading, say, a site dedicated to Southern Baptists or trainwatchers. Which implies that I am more curious about Mormons -- and care more about 'em -- than I am about Southern Baptists or trainwatchers.

I'm not uncomfortable with being a conversion prospect, and I'm glad she cares enough to care. *laugh* [Smile] If she started mailing me tracts, though, I'd have to use the glare smiley.

The good thing about Nauvoo is that it bans obnoxious anti-Mormons. Now if I could only ban obnoxious Mormons too, it would be perfect.

That is too bad. I hate it when Mormons do this, because it makes me look bad by association. I'd give 'em all a swift kick if I could. [Frown]

We really need some Mormon tracts. I think we're missing out on a huge conversion option here.

Would this have been an off-forum chastising? Just wondering, not trying to start a fight, cause the remarks I saw were uncontested, at the time. [Smile]
