I don't follow the nonsense that goes on there anymore, not since THIS happened to me over there - as a moderator and 5 year member! It seems there has been another 'Night of the Long Knives' with Simkin, this time, playing all the lead parts. It won't come as much of a surprise to any of the founders of this Forum, who were either kicked out over something similar [if on a different topic] or walked out in sympathy and disgust over those others kicked out and/or mistreated at the time - to form this Forum. Many other members here were or are asylum seekers from the persecution and lack of evenhandedness [even following the Forum's own rules] 'over there'. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. One would think as the historian he claims to be Simkin would know better....but self-blindness is self-blindness and rulers can self-blind. This is not his first 'New Regime' and likely not the last.
