LuckySkreet: One can post a message regarding moderation
As far as I am concerned, anyone who stays within (or thereabouts) of the posting guidelines should be allowed to post their opinions in the forum, and without delay.
At least then there can be some checks and balances and people can formulate their own opinions.
It is one thing punishing someone, but heck, all I am saying is CT has been banished long enough. I am not saying what he, or anyone else did was right or wrong. but anyone punished should be told what for and for how long. Not too much to ask for IMO.
At times we all make mistakes, crickey, even I made one once (well so I was told), but the people I admire and respect are the ones who admit they have made mistakes, learn from it and move on.
Just because someone does not like someone, or has a grudge against someone, should not preclude them from having their say. Sure you can disagree or not read their opinion, but they should still have that right to voice their opinion (again, provided it meets forum rules).
Over the years I have had some haters, critics, and abusers (yes I hear gasps from the audience) - that is their right....but in retort, I word my posts carefully....that is my defence :))
