In reply to the discussion: I want to say goodbye to the wonderful people of this group. [View all]Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)28. IHAD..NO!!!!
This is not a happy moment in ASAH.
The way I read the new TOS, the "kookiness" won't be tolerated in the Main forums. These groups are different.
Seriously, one can view mainstream Judeo-Christian mythology as "kookie." The virgin birth, resurrection, bread is flesh and wine is blood are examples of "wackiness" and many athiest/agnostic DUers will openly say as much. I have even been callous enough to say as much, back when I was rotten and snarkier.
But there are still Christian groups here. And many, many, many DUers identify as Christian, Catholic, Jewish, etc. on the Main forums. I doubt Skinner would let anyone disrupt in their groups.
The idea of groups is to have "refuges" where out-of-the-mainstream ideas are discussed and entertained. I seriously don't see that changing for the ASAH group with the new TOS.
Skinner has never bothered this group and we have been (mostly) free of disruptors here, so I hope you will reconsider.
I really do.....we all love you IHAD ((((((((((((((((IHaveADream))))))))))))))

come now, we both know about the "why" regarding new feel, 'compartmentalization,' and purpose...

that'd normally work from DU2, but a wholly different world view has been implicitly instated.
