I received an email from calbaybwv. He said he was banned from the site.
I know he was, at times, controversial but BANNED FOR LIFE??? C'mon!
I think his posts gave some life to these boards. I enjoyed the lively banter.
I thought freedom of expression was encouraged. I would hate to feel that I have to watch what I say (type) because I might get "banned". I think some people have thin skin.
I don't know if I'm in the majority or minority but I do know calbay's witty posts will be missed by me. It seemed most of his posts had that little flame next to them. This obviously shows the interest invoked by them.
I'm not saying I agreed with everything he had to say but I thought, if anything, we could agree to disagree here. I've read many posts, written by other members, that obviously skirt the line drawn by the moderators. I don't know how many people have been banned but I know that some of these line skirters are still members. Perhaps there is some selective bannishment going on here.
For the mostpart I think the moderators on this site do a good job. Most of the time they let the thread go where it will and steer it back on track when it veers to far. I think this time they went too far (JMHO). I don't know if there was some sort of public outcry for this bannishment but if just a few, thin skinned, members got upset they should "get over it".
Like I said... JMHO.
I'm sorry if this is not the proper place for this post but most of calbays posts apeared here and I figured it would reach the most people concerned (pro or con).
