How many here are former Cougarboard users?

So now that most of the old Cougarboard is over here, CUF is becoming CB 2.0. Its only a matter of time before the original CUF founders break off again to form a new board.

This is just like conference realignment. CUF is like the new MWC, full of all the old WAC (CB) members.

In spite of all it's pimples, MWC was still WAY better than the WAC. Given your analogy, I'd still say that's pretty true. CUF can kick CB's trash!!!!

It's already done

And I guess that makes present day CB = WAC leftovers (Idaho, NMST). Sounds about right!

After receiving warnings multiple times for absolutely silly things the last couple of months and then being given a multiple day suspension because I said I like Bangkok (yes, that is all I wrote and yes, Bangkok is a really cool city in which I've spent a decent amount of time), I decided I should probably check out this place.

I would have banned you for poor taste. Bangkok is probably my least liked major city.

I had a few suspensions & I usually would post a screenshot of the warning in my CB signature. Though I don't visit CB anymore, I still have the most recent suspension in my profile:

The reason being?

It seems odd to me to come onto CUF and talk about CB. You can leave CB, but you can't leave it alone.

This is a different community. I hope it doesn't become like CB, because the existing CUF community is what attracted a lot of us in the first place (including myself)--free flowing conversation that occasionally touches on mature subjects. CB refugees don't need to come here and try make it CB. We are new and should respect that.

No kidding about the heavy handed here. I first came here after the heavy handed moderation at CB. I liked the format better here, intelligence level, the depth of discussion. But I have been deeply disappointed about the way I have been treated here. Condescending, assholes, insensitive, self-satisfied/smug, and VERY cliquish are negative thoughts that I associate with CUF and some of CUF posters.

One of my early posts here was intended to be a sort of humorous poll about sex. Nothing over the top or graphic. There are posts on here nearly every day with sexual innuendo or content that are not moderated that have far more potential to offend than the mild post I intended to post. Before the poll was even finished with any answer choices, BAM, deleted. I was shocked. That was something I expected on CB, not CUF. I was in disbelief. (Thanks for the warm welcome, Lebowski!)

A couple of years later I still fume every now and then when I recall the way some of the CUF posters treated me soon after I first started posting. Several CUF'rs made some very condescending responses to my posts early on. One of the first was from Nikuman. Apparently, if you are a newbie CUF'r, you are just supposed to take it if a long-time member is abusive. And if you don't take it, it's a pile on. After the pile on me, there was only one poster here who even bothered to value me. It's one thing if SeattleUte scorns your silly mormonism or some other post, but even Finderson here or Indy?

Also, apparently, if you don't devote every moment to thoroughly engage in a discussion to the end on any particular post of yours, that is looked down upon. Frankly, I have a spouse, young children, long work hours and other responsibilities. I don't know where some CUF make time to read and post as much as they do without neglecting critical personal responsibilities.

I was highly offended when some seriously questioned me, as if I were lying, that my spouse had received her PhD in molecular biophysics at a Texas university, and that she didn't accept some CUF'rs positions on some conventionally-held-scientific-points of view.

Maybe if I was a cross-dressing, ex-mo bishop, agnostic, nobel laureate, who ran 10 miles per day and consistently hit deep threes, mastered MWx, adopted orphaned LGBT teens, made $100k more, could spend every moment reading and responding to CUF posts, and spoke with great depth of wit, charm, insight, grace and sensitivity with every post, I MIGHT be accepted by CUF.

As it stands, I'm not sure my undergraduate degree in philosophy, my law background and license, my 15 year business background, my experiences as a spouse & father, 6th generation-well-read Mormonism, and other bland or unique life experiences are up to snuff to engage in CUF. So for now, I occasionally read during a lunch break or whenever, and I post even less.

Am I a bad person if the voice in my head read each paragraph in a higher and higher pitch?
