First I just want to echo Stratman's comments about the moderation on this forum - it is very low impact moderation and one of the best moderated sites I've been on. (No, I'm NOT bloody crawling to Ned... :lol: ).
However, I was surprised that the thread about Joe was shut down, as there didn't seem to be anything in there that warranted it, unless talking about TJ is just too problematic for some people? That's the only conclusion I can come to in the circumstances, and if this is what in fact happened, then I don't like it. Finally, Joe did go over the top in a thread, but as Mick points out, it takes two and just because you can wind somebody up to the point of crazy without losing it yourself doesn't make you right - it's just a difference of personalities.
I'm in regular contact with Joe, and I think he's enjoying a break from the forum. He may return in the future, there's no way he can be stopped actually, if he does certain things... 8)
