Where I see injustice I must stand against it. Not to cause trouble intentionally, but to show it for what it is or to say, "This is wrong"!
I'll admit that causing trouble at B&B will do no-one any good except to give them the impression that members here want to disrupt things there. That was not my intent in posting. My intent was to defend the opinion of a member, an opinion which I share, which has lead to a completely irrational banning. As I suspected, I was punished for only opposing the orthodox views there. I don't give a rat's ass if they ban me or not (and since it seems I was penalized over there for what I said in this thread, I'm half certain they'll take this comment as reason to do so, proving their hypocrisy beyond a shadow of a doubt), but I'm not asking for them to do so. If they're looking for a reason to, they'll invent one. They don't need me to do anything specific at all.
Trash talking B&B here is also doing no-one any good. But clearly laying out the facts about banned members there and how we like to do things differently here helps us all refocus ourselves onto the gentlemanly qualities we wish to espouse. I'm no saint myself *insert chorus of "That's for sure! :roflmao " replies* but I at least keep trying to do the right thing and striving to improve at that.
Personally I'd like to know more about the RW affair, not just recounts, but links to the threads in question and some of the other innuendo that has made it to this thread. I'd rather not listen to the scuttlebutt at all, but get precise examples of how the moderator misconduct has occurred. I am, for today at least, still a member there and would like to know where the land mines are. I'd like to be able to draw my own conclusions.
That's all just me.
