Bottom line is that Admin have the final say and GR and O are now banned (like others in the past and no doubt in the future!) for however long and they (and us) will just have to accept that
I have every faith that they will return, just be patient!  |
The CF is a private company , the owners have every right to ban anyone that insults directly their organization , comments and insults against Lana were out of order and commenting on the company's financial affairs irresponsible.
The forum would be rather boring and many of us would stay away no doubt if controversial contributors were not permitted to voice their opinions , sometimes in vociferous and questionable terms but that is what makes a forum interesting.
As a result of the two bans and in view of the fact that some see me as partly responsible , I would like to state here that I'm aware that Admin is keeping a very close watch on what I post , since I consider the forum to be in a way an extended part of my work here in London , I shall place restrictions on my self expressions trying not at the same time to remove all elements that contribute to an interesting debate. |
I don't always agree with what you say M. or the way you express it but I applaud you for restricting your language, perhaps others could follow your example. Maybe we have all learned something from this sad event. |

Obviously I cannot speak for paphitis but imho I believe he would ,just as I believe that Oracle and GR would fight in defence of any member giving their honest opinion whether they agreed with it or not. And I include TCs, GCs, BCs uncle tom cobley and all in this equation.
And without bringing up an old chestnut that has already been discussed in other areas of the forum . Without these more extrovert and some might say controversal charachters on forum then we could end up discussing the price of beans in Pafos and the best place to find a willing goat etc ...Heaven forbid
...............don't you see though Richard, that is a good thing on this Forum - the fact that there are some people out there who need information and our Forum friends never hesitate to assist.
It may seem boring and mundane to some - but a necessary fact of life - IMHO......................and who are we to complain?
BTW, you can keep the goat, but how much are the beans in Pafos please?  |
