What I am against however is his wrong headed crusade against Joe Offer and those who run the Mudcat, and his advocacy of a nil editing policy for the site.

Are those (some of whom ane anonymous) who feel themselves qualified to impose their personal judgement upon the contributions of their fellow poster above judgement themselves?

From many posts I have seen - this would appear to be what they - and those who would blindly support this current situation on our forum but feel free to pass judgement upon everyone else - feel should be the case.

And if one poster does not agree with another's views - does this then entitle them to post publicly only to call the other poster vulgar and offensive names, question their sanity and motives, to hold public conversations about them, mock their spelling and grammar and to generally gang-up with others to bully them in the hope that another member will get upset with all this personal judgement and leave?

And if such behaviour is tolerated or encouraged - where is their any protection that this same nastiness will not in time be used against others or even you?

When a control freak asks me to do something I get suspicious Bert!

Do real control freaks ASK you to do anything? I would suggest that a true control freak is only interested in obtaining a position where they can impose control over you.
