It seems to me to be a relatively adequate description. If a CF member who is also a poster in ~E~ gets into a dispute with CF Staff, it is common for that person's posting in ~E~ to be mentioned by CF Staff.
Further, at one point, CF Staff were banned by CF upper Staff from posting in ~E~.
Further, murron's resignation thread (and the "I agrees" posted in response to it) tend to show fear of "takeover" of CF by IIDB.
Further, concern about "leaks" of Sooper Seekrit Staff Stuff tend to be focused on whether or not it is discussed in ~E~. I do not see similar concern about it being discussed in other places on the web or in IMs or emails.
Further, the testimony of former CF Staff members who post in ~E~--especially those who have "been stepped down"--is that their managers tend to look upon their posting in ~E~ as a liability and something to be discouraged.
It seems to me that fear is as good an hypothesis as any to explain these reactions. If you have some other hypothesis, I am willing to hear it.
Fear No.. I fear Nothing
Dislike yes, as I also dislike Chinese take away, brightly colored Trousers and 1970's movies
You seem to be equating "fear" with believing that some things are wrong and we fight to maintain what we believe to be right.
Oh yeahThe French Connection
The Godfather
[size=+2]Star Wars[/size]
Oh yeahWas thinking they were eighties
Correction 1970's films except Star Wars
Nope never heard of itHave you ever seen "The French Connection"? That movie rules!
Oh yeah.... it's ALWAYS the members fault, ALWAYS members bein this that er the other. Staff would NEVER intentionally stir trouble ANYWHERE.....
I'm not a member over there, but I've lurked a bit from time to time. Cain't say as I approve, but at the same time, I haven't approved of CF in months.
One has to be a member in order to lurk on the IIDB/Elsewhere thread.
This I know, have you a point?
I went over the board once or twice, but I tend to avoid it as a matter of aesthetic preferences.

IIDB serves the purpose of giving a place for self-identified Christians to use the f-word in a public forum.
The only problem that I have with the IIDB is that it is athiest for the most part except for the little corner of Elsewhere. In this little corner, there is this awesome bright light beaming through. We are called to reach out to each other and pray for one another and to have faith, hope and love in our own hearts and for others.
You mentioned that you are NOT a member and yet that you lurked there. I was pointing out that you have to be a member there in order to lurk... that's all. That maybe it was an oversight or maybe I misunderstood you.
I've had some pretty nasty stuff posted about me over there, yet it doesn't worry me at all. Maybe i'm just coined that way ya know?
I gave up judging people by titles long ago got too confusingWe atheists aren't that bad
AND what is the motivation for this belief that the thing is wrong? People have stated here that they are against iidb and have NEVER even been there. That to me is evidence of fear.You seem to be equating "fear" with believing that some things are wrong and we fight to maintain what we believe to be right.
