I am trying hard to focus on the important issue of censorship on our forum and to avoid reacting to the reaction. For it matters little if the questions that I am asking are coming from and eight-armed Woggle from the planet Plod intent on invading the Earth and high on the best 'Old Toby'. It is what is being said that is important - not who may be saying it. If it is being said in a moderate manner - I feel that this should be respected and responses should also be made in this manner.

Sorry to muddy the waters with facts, but I've just posted to Guest Postings It does not appear to be closed at all.

Nigel - I hope you are not now trying to get us to believe that the Guest Postings thread was never closed - for I do beleive it was you who earlier posted to inform me that it had been re-opened?

I, and a number of other people requested that the thread was closed. Shambles, you took over the thread in what seemed as a personal vendetta (and before you criticise my spelling I know already know its bad) The original matter in the thread has been delt with and everyone, apart from yourself of course, is happy with it. Life is too short for all your complaining, you really need to get out more, play more music and relax.

In that thread I also expressed a wish that the thread NOT be closed as there was no good reason to do so. As has been pointed out - this is not a democracy - we do not have a vote - so every voice is worth no more or no less than everyone else's. As for the convention of respecting the original poster's intention - I feel that many people were doing just that - for as I have pointed out before and you fail to mention here - the original posting also asked for suggestions on how things could be improved. Closing the thread would deny any future posters the chance to make these suggestions.

You may well now be happy that Joe having wrongly accused you of posting abusive anonymous messages - will not do this again to you. I am just trying to do what I can - to ensure that such things do not happen again to anyone else.
