I have to take issue, Matt
Look at the top of this web page everybody - what do you see...?

Exposing and Combating Liberal Media Bias
Some people here don't have much interest in religion as it relates to liberal media bias - that's acceptable to me - if that's what you prefer. Some people here can't stand the thought of discussing religion, and some even intend to erase it from existence and history, again - I can live with that...
But that's not my take...
I'm "different" from those people. Wow, what a concept: I have alternate interests!
Crazy, I know. I have extensive ideas and opinions about religion as it relates to the evils of liberal MSM bias and enjoy sharing it with others for their reactions and opinions...
After about a year and a half of that here (from the very beginning of NB's existence, BTW) I was eventually relegated by the "anti-religious-debate" mob here to these so-called "forums" ghettos where I was told I would be free to voice my annoying religious opinions for debate and discussion - so much for free speech on the main threads, I thought - but as a private site obviously I had to bow to the management and went on my merry way over here - where I spend most of my NB time now...
And lo and behold it seems I've been followed over here by the anti-religious mob to weather more of their whiney complaints about religous debate on the NB forums...
I'm even hearing from the mastheads now that NB is not about religion what-so-ever?
NB is not about religion and therefore not the appropriate venue for this discussion. Kudos to Warner for keeping his remarks about Mormonism on another site and not NB. Let's not needlessly divide ourselves discussing issues that are peripheral to the purpose of our site.
For those wishing to continue the discussion about Mormonism, please visit these two sites:
Thank you.

Matt, you may prefer not to deal with religion as it relates to liberal media bias - but you being the primary trustee of the entire NB site - including the forums - that's not acceptable to me - an NB contributor - an NB customer, if you will - for me religion sits squarely in the middle of left-wing media bias - actually, it is probably the fundamental impetus of liberal media bias - I humbly submit that this site wouldn't receive half of it's attention from the masses without the ingenious religous commentary here of myself and several others - SEVERAL OF THE THREADS ON THE MAIN SECTION DEAL WITH RELIGION, for pete's sake...
Do you ever ponder how many of us spend a very substantial amount of time here - free of charge - providing you fine folks with highly valuable religious content - born out of years of careful study and debate - often taking much time and money - while you collect a paycheck no doubt for babysitting the NB web server while rarely, if ever, posting as much banter as we do - all day long, day after day on ANYTHING...
You hardly ever show up on the open threads, latest blogs or forums - while several of us low-life/peon/free-labor posters are busting our asses on em everyday - and then you leisurely drop in with one post and have the audacity to tell us to shut our mouths about religion? On a religious forum topic, no less..??!?!?!?
All right then...
It's obvious to me now that when you want our opinions you'll certainly PM it to us - so you tell me then - whenever you're ready, of course - take a well-deserved smoke break first - I'll wait - and then please tell me what the hell I'm supposed to post on the "headline-pope-condemns-climate-change-prophets-doom" thread?
Looking forward to hearing my opinion soon, Matt - thanks a bunch! Whatta guy...
Sincerely,
TM
