Thread Name: BS: Complaints versus Mudslinging
Subject: RE: BS: Complaints versus Mudslinging
We have to keep a thread open to censure someone because closing it is censorship.............................right then.......
If the object of the imposed censorship was out of concern for the person being criticised - the direct result of this censorship was - (as on most occasions like this) - that far more people were made aware of an issue that that they probably would have missed - without all the fuss and justification of the imposed closure of two threads and the imposed deletion of another.
When a fourth thread was started, I figured the best thing to do was to move those three messages here - knowing full well that wouldn't be satisfactory to a number of people.
The most important person who wouldn't be satisfied with this move - was the thread originator. They specifically reqested in the first post that no names be brought into this thread. He even stated that if anyone did this - he would request that our volunteers to remove it.
I am sure that he did not expect for one minute that it would be our volunteers who ignored his request. Especially as this imposition was admittedly made in the full knowledge that it "wouldn't be thought satisfactory".
Perhaps folk will finally accept this as evidence - that our volunteers will now just meddle as they wish - with our contributions?
Have you ever had your contributions meddled with - Missus? *Smiles*
