The Simkin Spectacle

[Peter Lemkin]

I guess the solution would be to let the mods moderate.

And if you have a case to hear, let the mods hear it.

Over here, its more democratic since the people who founded it get to decide among themselves what is to be done. Plus, they are much more selective as to who gets in.

I was not aware of this long history of dissatisfaction with EF, at least not the ins and outs of it. ANd this is just the latest in the line.

Like I said, I was willing to just let it drop. Until Simkin took that unfair shot at someone who cannot defend himself, namely Tom. I hope John does not say anything else about Tom. He shouldn't. As Martin pointed out, Tom was not in the wrong with the rules.

In my case, I very quickly in the bruh-ha-ha had my account deleted so I couldn't 'speak' or defend myself. Others were posting for me so I could. They were threatened to stop immediately, or the same would happen to them...sound familiar? I had the additional indignity of all of my posts being deleted without my permission. Simkin IS 'the rules'...and used to have this Walker chap to do some of the dirty work. The moderators are used, when expedient; and ignored when expedient. You'll find quite a few other 'dissatisfaction' events over there mentioned in threads here over time. There is a LONG history of the same basic patterns.
