I am amazed at the arrogance of people who genuinely believe that there is some kind of plot against them but it does indicate the sort of deep rooted paranoia that results in this type of disagreement.

Anyway, to put the record straight. I am sure that the moderators will confirm that people can and have been banned before. The Shambles, Martin Gibson and Clinton Hammond to name but three. They have either not found a way back in or have changed so dramatically that they were re-admitted under a different handle. The fact that no-one that has been involved in this type of thread has been banned or has even been threatened with a ban is indicative of the moderation teams view of what is going on. Boring? Maybe. Annoying? To some, yes. A concerted plot to destroy Mudcat threads? Hardly. But feel free to decide for yourselves.

Or simply don't read the bits that annoy you. They are quite easy to spot. I am reminded of the old Mary Whitehouse days. Those films are disgusting. I had to watch them 17 times to make sure...
