There is no reason to try to confuse M 14 with the facts, his mind is made up. I know he's wrong, you know he's wrong, the majority here know he's wrong. As long as Rick insists on playing his good cop, bad cop game, M 14 is going to have the run of H2O, and there is no amount of rational, well thought out arguments that will change this. The problem is with Rick, the M 14 case has been made many times over, but Rick refuses to see the real truth about him.
When I come on H2O, the first thing I do is open the deleted bin in a separate window, and read the contents. It really isn't that hard to follow the threads when I do this, so it is an effective way of neutralizing M 14s power. I think that his behavior is as good an example of the JW mentality as you could hope for, if you were trying to warn someone about what it is like to be a JW. The sad part is that M 14 probably thinks he is doing a great job of promoting the org.
Trying to explain what free speech really is to a JW is as impossible as explaining to a child what it means to pay the power bill. They have no reference point from which to measure, they have no idea what you are talking about. They think they know, but they really have no way of knowing.
