I think it all was a setup gone out of hands.
i mean...
this was HIS board yet it got plagued since day 1 by a$$holes wanting to stir troubles splitting hairs, EG you go on a christian board & stir troubles saying lord Jeetz never existed & the december 25 is the birthday of the sun/ the son of Mithra & whatever.
Which is by far accurate ( december 25 is equinoxe/ once said the birth of the son of Mithra, himself born in barn ).
However i'd see no point in doing it.
If owners sided with troublemakers, they ought to never allow this board to start.
If not so, how comes it took ages for them to ban the troublemakers; yet as soon as Montana showed up elsewhere, he got banned?
Perhaps it was just a set up to plug PF's product; now that's not anymore needed.
Whatever it was, it has been handled very very poorly.
