Its a bit like a dictatorship country where anyone who wants change or an opinion that is not what suits are stamped upon by the moderators . Better to stick with it post your posts and just accept that some will get deleted and distorted . Phil |

Liking to listen to chatterboxing, always interesting the point of view of different men. Only to hear one side of argument, makes for boring discussion.
In free country, chatterboxing always good. In dictatorship, always dangerous. Not to make offense of dictator, he always must be given praisings. Attitude of dictator important to everyone, because of fear. Attitude of free man not important, because of fear. So, always with dictator, life is of fear. Only to agree with dictator, only one side. Life with dictator is boring. |

I willing to bet he will be back. It is a great loss if he does stay away but this is still owen and its up to them what stays on here. So if he leaves because of it so be it.

It's always sad when someone who contributes leaves. That being said, this forum is privately run, and the owner can do whatever he wants. Sometimes posts are deleted for political/financial reasons (and other such motives), but I think most of the time, the moderators are just trying to do their job and keep things running smooth.

Potty, if you drop by to reflect, your sad farewell put me in my mind of this lovely ode sung on the retirement of Australia's most loved children's entertainer of the 1970's.

Like ChrisG said, this is a place with rules that we agreed to. This is Steve Brook's place, and we are no more free to do anything we want than we are in someone else's house.
And among all the other considerations mentioned, there is the simple fact that the mods have to separate any feelings about the topic or individual and look at the effects on the entire overall community. I once mentioned the name of a certain person in a post and soon got a pm from a mod that the thread had to be deleted. I didn't really understand why at the time. Later I read posts by this person on other forums very despising of the Café in general and Steve specifically. I also saw him on a video of a lecture at a national conference taking shots at Steve. At that point I had to concur - I wouldn't want such a man loose in my Café either. I really don't care what magical experience he has to offer: he brings his poison tongue with him. Potty, sorry to see you go. But honestly - haven't you let your words get a bit loose from time to time too? And said some things that could have been considered over the line? Yet you're still allowed. Isn't it possible that there's more to the story than you know? Ed |

What a pathetic plea for attention. Why didn't you just keep quiet and go away? Is having your "final say" that important to you? This isn't your message board. The owner and his representatives have every right to do what they want with it.
If I was the owner, I'd delete this while thread and be done with it. Ban Potty and then all this crap goes away. Yes, Potty did contribute some useful stuff. But he's also one of a handfull that attacks anyone who doesn't agree with whatever he says. He doesn't discuss. He demands complete compliance with his every word; much like the two from the east coast of the USA. Remember the thread where one of them (also a sometimes valueable contributor) posted his new website? He asked for opinions but when several people told him of display problems on their computers he told them all they had lousy machines, were way behind the times, and he said that any of his posssible potential clients who had computers that couldn't display his site exactly like his does were basically worthless pieces of zitz and he wouldn't work for them if they begged him. Yep, magicians helping magicians. So Mr. Pirate, good riddance. And for everyone else who demands that he return: Start your own message board and get him on there. Bazinga! |

White Rodent,
I said PTP has contributed good posts here. But he also is one the quickest to attack anyone who doesn't agree with how he things must be done. Just like the other example I gave. I mentioned no other names, but ones who have been here long enough, or have at least read here long enough might know who I meant. I really don't care. THE POINT IS: If a person is fed up with arguing and so forth, why make a big stink about leaving - AGAIN - just stop posting for a while. If you read the other comments on this thread you'll see that he has done this before; more than once. I have NO connection to PTP whatsoever other than the comments I already made. And it all comes down to the pointless announcement of "I'm angry again so I'm leaving forever again until I come back again." I really don't care what he does, what you say in this thread (except I think it was bad form to attack someone else for their religious views.) I just thought I jump into this ridiculous dog fight for gits and shiggles. I guess that means I AM trolling. Bazinga! |
