As I have stated in the previous thread, ?I have been a member of many online forums, and continue to be a member of several?.
The following is my opinion only, and applies to any online forum.
Any online forum exist only because of the interest that it?s owners & it?s moderators have in the subject matter at hand.
It is only because of these forum owners & moderators that any of these forums exist.
It cost real money, and real time to host these online forums.
Any online forum?s greatest attribute is it?s general membership, and as such the greater membership should always be served.
When any online forum welcomes any member into it?s ranks, you become a member of the family but not a permanent member. Membership depends solely on the good behavior, and the goodwill of it?s individual members.
Members do not always agree with other members, and members do not always agree with the owners, or the moderators but a certain modicum of decorum must be followed, or all Hell will eventually break out.
The bottom line is, Ned invited us all here, it?s his forum, and he can do what he likes.
I for one am glad Ned has been such a graceful host here on the TF.
This thread should have never started, because it is quite obvious that Ned was not digging the discussion of the previous thread.
The first two post in this thread are the equivalent of a family member being invited into another member?s house for a meal, and then spitting in the host?s face.
I shudder to think what Ned will think of the above first two posts .... fair warning folks ....

Hi Ned
Thats not a very nice way to end a discussion.
I would actually call it quite rude compared to the general tone during the discussion, it actually makes me feel you favor some members more than others and that it?s not allowed to have diverting point of views than those accepted by you.
Tokai Joe- Thumbs up !

I think we were all talking politely and in peace, giving voice to everybody, with no bad words or rudeness.
If we can't discuss the ban of a brother member and we have to do just what Ned says and that's "the end of the story", just call this web Ned's forum and not "Tokai registry" because it is not.
We're not all we are! :evil:
