Serious question, Roger: why do you believe Max asked you to leave?

Because although I have broken no rules and done nothing but set an example of trying to post my honest views to a forum set up for such a purpose - he felt he had no choice but to been seen to try do something to appease the (small but noisy) constantly complaining mob.

When it was this mob and the reasons why it was seen to be so publicly stirred-up that remains the problem.

Serious question to you:

Why do you believe that as a result of my complaint that Max did not ask both Joe and Catspaw to leave?

For many posters would judge the grounds for my (ignored) complaint as proven.

Wouldn't you?
