For clarification again... I don't care so much about C*bersocket and B*dfellow being banned so much as I think it's highly unfortunate it was deemed no one else could question that decision or even have a discussion about it.

That any thread mentioning it was immediately locked. That all discussion of it was stifled and ruled out of order.

There are a lot of people on this board who do contribute. Who do participate and have spent a lot of time and energy sharing information, engaging in discussions, offering up and seeking out advice here, being active members of this forum. All of the things that give this board any substance and value.

To suggest that they're not entitled to share opinions regarding any of this is what I think is wrong.

Not only myself, but Aly and Holly and Randy and Rand and JustMe and others who've been here for awhile, posted on here often and frequently, and even sponsored the board. Told to hush up and move along because Lee didn't feel like we had any right to have an opinion on it and that C*bersocket and B*dfellow were the only ones "directly affected".

That is what I have a problem with.

And just as I think the only reason why my presence on this board all this time has had any slight worth is because I've never shyed away from expressing myself or sharing thoughts and feelings on it, I don't feel like shying away from saying any of this right now.

Gary-Alan and Lee have created a wonderful framework and structure for a valuable product and service with this board. But it's the members - those that post - that fill that framework with substance and form. That provide the interaction and information that keeps people coming back and makes new people sign up to contribute as well. To cast off the value of the members because we don't own the board is foolish.
