OK I think this thread has run its course, it's starting to repeat itself.
Next Subject please!

Well done Anonymous for being 'helpful' to Cropredy. Perhaps you could help the rest of us by telling us how exactly you were 'helpful'. Then we can judge whether you are 'helpful' or otherwise.

I wonder how many of those that have helped you in the past would do so now Kevin?
I have helped you, and have never slagged you off, but would not help you again.
In addition, despite being a total Megarack, my usage of this portal has been in decline for quite some time, and looks set to continue. This is because of the negative aggitation that definately eminates from this site.
Keep it up by all means and watch us walk away, noe by one. Then you can be happy I guess.

In the past I have suggested that the anonymous, facility should be removed, but on reflection, and following this thread,I can see the sense and positive use of it.
This whole fiasco started on a thread on TMA, about freedom of speech, where phoenix ( me, in a cunning disguise , posted a comment about the starman, and how he had come to be banned, and commented about the owner of TMA, walking about wearing swatikas( which he has every right to, and I am sure for the best of reasons)
In no way was there anything offensive said, and no comments at all about the evil dowsing word.
The thread was all about the owner of TMA , and an article where he had made several quotes , the discussion was about everyones right to have their opinions and right to say them .
The thread suddenly disapeared, and I then found it re-appeared minus the post from phoenix, when I then tried to re-post, I found that I couldn't, and the message came up informing me that I couldn't due to miss-use ?
I would remind you that the thread was about freedom of speech, in no way was phoenix offensive, and had been posting on other threads with no problem, and was never going to mention the dreaded dowsing word, because if phoenix had done, he had a good idea what would have happened ?
So I agree with anonymous.
Cobblers.
Kevin

As Ken Williams says, the TMA threads are still there. No-one was banned because of their beliefs, only for their behaviour.
For those that can't be bothered to look Starman appeared under at least 10 different user names, hijacked every other thread and caused loads of people to move away from the forum. What was the forum supposed to do? Well guess what? He DIDN'T get banned for that, he got banned for being disgustingly abusive to a forum member.
The "suppression of freedom of speech" thing is garbage - in your case as well Kevin. You refused to avoid hijacking every other thread with YOUR version of reality so discussions suffered. If you'd exercised restraint and kept your ideas to a few threads, you'd still be there and welcome.
You're at it again here, see "Alignments and magnetic anomalies". You keep saying "its hard not to keep mentioning my stuff" in the top forum. No it's not. Just don't. I don't see why you should re-write TMA history about the reason you got banned there whilst demonstrating the true reason here.

Kevin, how may times and in how many ways does it has to be said, when you were banned it was nothing to do with freedom of speech and everything to do with behaviour. You were free to say what you liked for months and months, it was when your behaviour became a problem for other forum users that you put yourself in that position. No one was truly bothered about what you said, it was the way you went about saying it, especially when it got personal.

Anonymoose, aka, anonymouse, I really appreciate been able to talk to you on this site.
However we may agree or disagree, we are allowed to talk.
Without freedom of speech, we may as well have let our nazi enemy march straight in here.
They burn't the books and information that they didn't agree with.
They could say anything , without fear of answer, because anyone who answered back was exterminated.
Things are been said on another site that those that have been exterminated , have no way of answering.
Do we never learn from our past mistakes?
Freedom of speech
Freedom of speech

As the 'original' Anonymous poster of this thread, I would like to point out that I am not associated with the last three Anonymous posts. Just who are these people pretending to be me ...
