Is it Drama? Or an honest set of questions being flipped off?
[This post originally appeared on LiveJournal, and all links refer to the LJ group. I haven't been following the group by that name over here. Also, I don't know why there are suddenly loose bit of code.]

So, there's another blow-up at dark_christian over an attempt by old members to make mods and the owner face changes that are apparently pretty blatant to everyone but themselves.  There are new groups that will hopefully not follow the same arc, but it's hard to just bugger off after months of lurking to figure out what's going on.

I've made my decision.

A mirror of the final straw. (Actually, the real final straw for me was finding that two more Pagans had been banned for not coddling supposed newbies who were christians.  Plus </a></b></a>sunfell's really bizarre "explaination" for the whole fiasco.  "Stare too long into the Abyss...")

The new lists are:
</a></b></a>dominionism  (run by </a></b></a>swisscelt)  and </a></b></a>dommie_watch     (run by </a></b></a>nebris).

I will sadly miss many people's posts.

I will not so sadly miss new rounds of the following:

A man is in a room with a spiked chair.  Another person comes in and asks if the chair is real. 

"Yes", the man replies.

"Well, I don't believe you."  Says the newcomer."  Prove to me this is a real chair.  It doesn't look like any chair I've seen before."

"That's not my job.  You were supposed to have known all this from the sign on the door."  Says the man. 

He continues:  "It is a chair because it's made like a chair and can fool people into thinking that it is as harmless as other chairs.  This room is to discuss how to get rid of these chairs so that more people don't get hurt."

"But I don't believe it is a chair."  Replies the newcomer.   "And it looks almost, sort of like something my grandparents had.  How dare you accuse them of being bad?"

"I haven't accused them of anything..."

"Yes you did!  You're a terrible person!  Mod!  Mod!"
