Jon,

Thanks for that bit of information. Very revealing.

The (sole?) reason for setting up the guest log-in was to protect members, and not welcome guests?

Sorta says it all right there.

This group is even more dysfunctional, the deeper you dig.

Talk about paranoid. Talk about the technology for protecting one's identity not working! Living proof! God, the irony!

No wonder there are such astounding levels of hypocrisy and double speak here.

What a cynical, manipulative set up.

God. Last straw. The bullies win. You've very effectively driven me out, as I'm sure you will continue to do to many others.

You know, why not just get rid of the guest log-in. Then the sacred fellowship of members will be made safe and cozy in their insular, inbred little cyber-land, with no people of principle and integrity to bother their guilty consciences. For this group to do anything else is hypocrisy.

Good riddance to many of you--to some others, perhaps we might meet again in a better place, with a better clientele.

This forum is the antithesis of a healthy community, and textbook example of dysfunctional tribalism. What a sham.

All
