""How can anybody take this notion seriously when the owner of the Board, the person who sets the rules is considering the very issues, on this very thread, giving his reasons for his actions""
Please dont twist my words. The question was how are persons like the Dubs by saying "if you dont like it leave." Not how Simon runs the board. Nice try.
"What is the problem with this? As I explained earlier in my post above, this is standard modus of human behavior in any social group.Why does it now become an issue when it is applied to an XJW Board?"
Haaa, the "Ad Populim" argument. If everyone does it, it must be alright!! I guess that works, if you are not Fred.
"Presumably you mean by mantra the oft repeated statement that Simon owns the Board, sets the rules, if you do not like them you are free to leave? It seems to address the issues for the majority of the Boards subscribers, and that is surely all that can be hoped for with thousands of subscribers, each with a point of view."
Sounds great though this was not my point nor the question at hand!
