For the majority of people who will have no idea what this thread is all about – the following links to these threads will explain.

This one has no contribution from me but is one thread setting the example of the 'witchhunt' I refer to.
Forums Discussion Groups

This one is where a member was (wrongly) accused (by one of the volunteers) of making anonymous abusive postings.
Guest postings

The following contains the firm evidence of two censorship actions (of non-abusive posts) - being taken based only on the arbitrary personal judgements of volunteers – without the stated required consultation taking place first.
The respect for our contributions to our forum is not being given when censorship action is now being taken without the poster's knowledge or permission on a routine basis. Mistakes are apologised for (and this is welcome) but no action is then taken to ensure that the same mistake is not repeated.
Good folk are honestly defending a system (carried out by good folk) that the evidence demonstrates IS NOT the one currently in operation and one that I suggest has proved to be counter-productive and one that urgently requires a review.
GUEST a Mudcat euphemism for …?

This one contains some poetry.
On the cowardly nature of GUEST postings

This one is (mostly and so far) a sensible discussion on the wider issues.
Are we having fun as Fascists yet?

A word of warning: all of these threads contain personal abuse and strong language - although not from me. Perhaps the witch hunt is now getting a little out of control?

As Voltaire said: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Although I don't think that he was ever a member here - it is a principle that I had always believed was shared by many contributors………..Perhaps it is far later than we all think?
