For six years certain people have be trying to prevent me from posting my views - and as long as this attempt continues and and all the various methods encouraged by our 'moderators' are judged acceptable - I will carry on trying to discuss what others obviously think they have some right to prevent. No one is being forced to read anything I post - are they?

For this is part of the pretence - if it were just that my posts were repetitous, boring or any of the pointless other judgements posted about what other posters choose to post - the best way to deal with this - would be for posters to simply ignore my posts - wouldn't it.

So why cannot this be the case?

Why is every other method but this being atempted? For this is the distraction and the pretence.

For it must be obvious that despite all the indignant squawking when guest posters indulge in such things - posting abuse and indulging in online group bullying is exactly what the few noisy posters who are seen and encouraged to do this and would consider themselves to be nice - actually enjoy indulging in.

That is the reality of what our forum is being asked to support. It is not what I would judge to be nice nor have much to do with Max's expressed hopes for our forum.

If I am judged to be too idealistic - it should be recognised that these ideals and hopes for our forum - are Max's........
