Robert, I for one will never shoot at you. I think you are about the best, if not THE best and most articulate voice of reason, political acumen. plus wise and artistic wordweaving we have [or I had] on this Forum. I stand accused of nothing except trying to defend myself from false charges. Long before this broke out publicly I sent both Administrators privately offers to prove the allegations false in some in camera setting [not on the Forum publicly], as I had and have more than enough proof to do so. From one came silence, from the other more vitriol. Please note that the charges when revealed to most [although several members secretly had been let in on them, as well as the women in question through a whispering campaign - the source of which I'll leave to the imagination of such clever people] accused me of having done untoward things to multiple women [there was an 's' applied twice]. Now we all know there was never even the one. So, though not guilty; though not presented the evidence; though not allowed to defend myself; and though I did try briefly - that has all be expunged - along with the half-baked limited-modified-hangout demi-semi-partial retraction [also gone]. No full retraction, no apology, no re-instatement of my membership [no charges as to why it was removed]; lies that my IP was/is not blocked, when it is. I seem to remember from the Watergate era a phrase that went like this: What did they know [or invent], and when did they know it [or invent it]? Walker said he was taking some leave and has not left. He feigned resignation only to come back to vote against me. Vote on what and a vote taken just before the 'news' that the 'rumour' was false....great timing....one might even say a bit 'too good' to be true. So, the man who believes in no conspiracy since the assassination of Caesar apparently, it seems, was in some way involved in one - yet in a letter to the mods I was accused of a conspiracy to destroy the good name of Mr. Walker. Ironic, in the extreme. It started IMO as a political vendetta and grew and grew. My attempts to present evidence against vague charges or hear them or defend myself were denied, ignored or when attempted on my own removed. It never happened - or so they'd like you to believe. I'm a teacher at University, currently unemployed - imagine trying to get a job with these allegations over one's head, let alone a date. So many employers and potential dates 'google' names just to see what pops up. There were other epithets hurled at me in public and in private - thinking like a Nazi, unstable, insane [boilingly so], dangerous, and on and on and on. Found to be innocent, yet executed - without trial or due process. I believe commonly known as a lynching. It was all in the timing and the manipulation of the whispering campaign. Of what may I ask am I accused of to warrant removal from the Forum, ditto my IP blocked? I did not start any of this. I did not ever do anything wrong or break forum rules - yes I showed a private message as my only way to expose the ugly rumor and to defend myself as I saw the noose dangling on yonder tree with my neck's name on it. I thank all those who see some injustice in this. I feel personally offended and my reputation besmirched [a mild understatement]. Peter Lemkin, in banishment and my IP blocked.
