It is sad to see a few posters, who in other aspects of their lives would challange double standards - hypocrisy - unfairness - secrecy, open displays of bullying - insulting and abusive behaviour - heavy-handed general and petty pendantry - the encouragement minding of everyone elses's business - needless anonymimity and the introduction of any silly restrictions on the right of people to express their views freely etc - being compromised into being seen to be in support of such things being practiced on our forum. And being practiced in their name and on their behalf...........

It is probably just as sad not to see very many posters having the courage to point out that personalising these issues and encouraging witch-hunts against individual posters - who honestly try to express their views despite all of the varous attempts to prevent it - will not make the issues go away.

It is sad that it has come to this. But when people in privileged postions are seen to abuse these privileges and use them to engage publicly in personally motivated disputes whilst claiming not to be - the end result is as inevitable as it is undesirable and distasteful.
