Maureen O'Gara No Longer Welcome at LinuxWorld

flood6 writes "On the heels of yesterday's article about unrest at LinuxWorld, editor James Turner is reporting in his blog that Sys-Con Media has decided to purge Maureen O'Gara from the print and online publications." From the post: "Sys-con Media listened to what I and my fellow editors, their advertisers and the readership was saying, and made the correct decision. Maureen O'Gara's bylined material will no longer appear anywhere in the Sys-con universe of sites or publications. We have received this commitment in writing from Fuat Kircaali, the publisher." PJ at Groklaw also has commentary on this development.

Looking at a picture of Maureen, I would never have believed it...

You mean this one?

Sheesh. That's scary. "Maureen," huh?

I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I know that Jesus is my Savior and I try my best to follow His teachings. That makes me Christian, a "Follower of Christ." Furthermore, what with modern day Protestant religious faiths accepting 'alternative' lifestyle (non-heterosexual) folks as clergy and ordaining women to their so-called priesthood, what now is orthodox? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is ultra conservative in these and in many other areas.

Moreover, I personally believe that Darl McBride is a Moron (aside from being a Mormon) and feel that since he is perpetuating a lie in order to gain in a worldly way, he should be disciplined by his local clergy leadership. But that is only my personal opinion. Doubtless, Mr. McBride feels quite justified in his life of delusions.
Anyway, my points are thusly:
1. Please do not judge a religion by one its members, especially when the member in question is insane.
2. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is a Christian church - not a Protestant church, but a Restored church.
3. According to traditional, biblical and conservative Christian beliefs, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is orthodox (holding a correct or right opinion).

I do not represent the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in any official capacity, being merely a member of that church.

Search for Urim and Thummim. Those are the names of the spectacles. You might also be interested in "No Man Knows MY History" by Fawn M Brodie. It's an biography of Joseph Smith.
Incidentally, there are many references to the spectacles on the LDS website using the website's own search function. Try searching the scriptures. Here's one of many references to said spectacles.
I do not judge Mormons based on their beliefs but truth be told I have a hard time believing any religion. The Mormon church is of interest to me because I'm from the West and some of the statements in the BOok of Mormon are so fantastic (do not take offense, just my opinion!) such as the "history" of the lost tribes of Israel here in the US.
But it's a faith and therefore faith based and no Mormon has ever done wrong to me.
