Goes both ways I think. I've had my beliefs mocked, criticised and mispresented on this forum a few times.....it happens. I don't like it anymore than you do.

I realise your post was directed at Russ, and you can ignore this if you wish. But I'd like to state as a witness:

The reason for the bannings Pwcca, was rather a climax of mockery of Russ' mental state, character/reputation. Beliefs can be criticised and indeed they have and been insulted. But once you start to deliberately misrepresent a person, their character, their mental state/reputation and motivation - Especially the owner? on his own forum? Well come on, does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that it might deserve and incur a banning?

Seriously, I don't see how Russ could have reacted any other way. It was long overdue for something to be done and finally Russ cracked down.

Now, if you and other members have this opinion of Russ and you feel he deserved this and he's been totally unfair in his decision? Personally, I would not hang around a forum with an owner I had this opinion of. I'd be gone. There are plenty of debate forums out there discussing these topics for the picking. I can't figure out why there is this ongoing need to stay on this forum by members who can't find a good thing to say about the owner, his character or his decisions.
