As far as I have read on this site, Mr Shambles is quite entitled to start another thread now that his last one has been shut down due to 100% apathy.

100% apathy would have just left it alone.

Someone has made a lot of effort to quickly close it to actively prevent anyone posting to it. I wonder why anyone would be so keen to do this to a thread that posters are supposed to be so apathetic to?

Perhaps the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team would be kind enough to re-open Closed threads and deleted posts   and allow our forum to decide for themselves and show how apathetic they may or not be to that thread and this issue.

It is quite clear how the selective and personally motivated censorship actions, silent deletions and restrictions imposed on my posts by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team will prevent reasonable and free discussion on our forum. No matter what your opinion of me may be - it should be clear how undesirable this special treatment of any single poster should be.

It is not at all clear how the posting of my moderately espressed views (and mine alone) are preventing any other posters from carrying on with reasonable discussion on our forum. But that is the charge.

Perhaps this can be explained? And if it cannot perhaps these unfair restrictions can be lifted and all posters been seen to be treated equally by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team?

If the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team is not prepared to do this - perhaps our forum might have a new Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team who would be willing to be seen to treat all posters equally?

OK, Roger, your "closed and deleted" thread has been reopened. We'll see what happens. But I'd place the same restrictions on anyone who repeatedly posted multiple copies of the same thing in multiple threads (and sometimes in the same thread). You are still subject to restriction.
