Just post your gripes once to the mods as a pm then if you must do it - here in public but once only - no more. The problem is, you're starting to alienate all those who may have had sympathy for your cause.

No that is not the problem at all. It is however what you are encouraged by our 'moderators' to see as the problem.

What you seem to have overlooked is why the same effort involved in trying to prevent my views from being posted is not simply put in to our 'moderators' addressing whatever 'gripes' are the problem?

You seem to have found the rather easy and obvious solution to you being irritated by reading my posts and as you won't be seeing any more of them - I may as well carry on and allow other posters to make the same choice as you - to read my views or not.

Anyone who really allows any personal irritation to alienate them from supporting the right of everyone to be seen to be given a fair crack - does not really understand how hard the struggle to ensure this has always had to be.

And I fear that they will only have themselves to blame when they wake up to find they have not only had this right taken away from them - but will have played an active role in this.

Thank you for your advice - which along with all the other unsolicited advice on how, what, and where I should post - will be noted. But my advice to you - for what it is worth is the following bit of unsolicted advice that was recently given to me on our forum...................

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Or at least try to do this until those who do mind - are allowed to finally succeed in preventing you.
