Rago, along with intentional deletion of at least 4500 of your posts is a sight to observe. You had your reasons for going back

Only if you think access to an internet forum owned by a private citizen is a right and not a privilege.
Greg Burnham banned me from his forum, deep sixing some really good stuff. I don't beef. If I lost anything it was because I foolishly failed to back it up.
Same thing when Dave Reitzes got booted from the Ed Forum late '13. Thread gone, didn't back it up valuable posts?...Oh well...I refused to decry a transgression of free speech when Tom Scully said I oughta.
Following the 2016 election I came close to getting kicked off Deep Politics. Wouldn't have beefed if I had. Lots of people are put off by my stuff and I spend few winter eves sweatin' over it.
