Subject: RE: Complaints about editing: Still here? and why?
because you think you're being victimised, which is possible but I can assure you is not the case
On what informed basis do you make such an assurance to me and our forum?
Is it because the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team - who has just announced his latest posting restictions which only apply to me - has said that all this special treatment, is not personal?
I think that the Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team must have subjected my contributions to just about every form of imposed censorship. Ranging from countless numbers of closed threads to 'silent deletion' to the latest bag-of-tricks he has announced which apply only to me.
I have been publicly and privatly threatened by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing team - who has set the example that the public posting of calling me names like Buffoon, Idiot, Asshole, Looney etc is acceptable. And has encouraged other posters to join in with these abusive persoanal attacks.
Is this how someone said to be in charge of a team of 'moderators' is supposed to act? If they do could they and still expect our forum to consider their imposed judgement of the individual they are abusing to be fair and impartial?
Why?
Unlike many other posters who are free from any sanction - I don't post offensive language. I have never posted an abusive personal attack or ever responded in kind to the many that I have been subjected to and not protected from. Yet such a hysterical witch-hunt is currently under way that many posters - new to all this - must feel that there is justification for The Shambles to be considered is the worst of all possible posters - and on whose inevitable expulsion - all problems will be solved.
I don't consider that I am. Most of what I am accused of is simply a reaction against what are clearly personally motivated attempts to use and justify all forms of imposed censorship action and restrictions - simply to and try and prevent me from posting my views and to discredit them.
I feel that the true nature and level of imposed censorship is not known by our forum - especially by many who currently support it. I feel that if they were aware - they may not support this and the current nature and level may reduce.
I am aware that this may sound totally paranoid. But the supporting evidence is all on our forum. No one has to like me or even agree with my views - but they could just help to try and ensure that everyone on our forum gets a 'fair shake'.
