So, I'm not really sure what you're looking for. I don't read a lot of LDS blogs and such. I think many of the sites I read discuss sensitive topics without resorting to rhetorical fallacies. http://www.scientificamerican.com/artic ... -me-its-us discusses female sexual functioning in an academic, approachable way.Katya wrote:OK. Show me another independent forum (blog, message board, etc.) that does this. Show me a forum that tackles the really hard subjects to the degree you want them to while still maintaining active LDS standards. Give me a model to work with.TheBlackSheep wrote:Also, I agree with this.Whistler wrote:I guess I also wouldn't mind seeing the Board go independent because I didn't mind delving into "taboo" subjects (I'm actually a little sad my question about female orgasm was rejected). I know people like a safe space to discuss things, and I think we can do so maturely. This forum, for example, isn't associated with BYU directly, but I get the same feeling of comradeship and scholarly banter/interest. There you have it, my unsolicited opinion.
I like the Killscreen for video game news and most discussions about the video game issues I care about are on blogs (where sometimes other people use a swear word or two, but is that really something I hate so much that I'm not going to read anything on the Internet not LDS-centered? Here's one such hotbutton issue, although admittedly not much discussion:http://www.your-critic.com/2011/12/golden-days.html). I guess I care most about people treating each other with respect, and if you find the right circles, it's not actually that hard (but if you go to Kotaku looking for a scholarly discussion, or Facebook for that matter, you're going to have some trolls).
