yep...and catspaw has done that ...*grin*...more than once. Just as you, Roger, openly post YOUR views.

You are of course choosing to overlook that I am NOT allowed by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team to openly post my views and have special restrictions imposed on my posting.

Even though I do not choose to indulge in or respond in kind to the abusive and offensive personal attacks that our forum has been assured by them, that our so-called 'moderators' are there to protect posters from.

And which (along with spam posts) the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team is now seen to be openly permitting to be inflicted on our forum from certain favoured posters. Without any censure being seen to be imposed on them and for the sort of posts other posters are now banned for posting.

or, is it that catspaw should NOT feel safe to post his views? Do I detect a logical conflict here?

You should perhaps be asking our 'moderators' that question.

Perhaps you could then be kind enough to inform our forum what their answer is?
