Can I ask why on earth would you want to return to this forum after saying this ....
Abduction...a quick look at the debris
What an unedifying experience that was. For those unlucky enough to have seen the Kepharel abduction thread let it be a salutary lesson in pack rule, and bigotry from a website supposedly in search of ‘the truth’. In much the same way, I would venture to add, as in the spirit of Gerry McCann’s having no problem with purporting a theory: And what for? Because I suggested that abduction was a possibility. That’s not the issue here though.
The attack on me was vituperous and sustained and led by, of all people administrators and senior forum members to whom others look for guidance, but worst of all it was entirely wrong in every respect, a disgraceful episode, and wreaked of paranoia. This is not a healthy forum for a free thinking spirit in search of the truth. We all know now that I am not a Daily Mirror journalist; I wish that I were only because the money would come in really handy. As a rough guide, for those who may not know, I am just a pensioner and full time carer for my wife, with three grandchildren whom I adore and give me a reason to get up every morning. An ordinary Joe like most others on here who happen to be able to string a few words together.
I suggested to Tony Bennett that, in being gagged with no means of redress himself, he might have some sympathy with someone summarily banned from a forum of discussion without any recourse to defend themselves. His response was shocking, all the more so because of the esteem I have always held him in for his stand against the McCanns and search for the truth. How or whether he justifies his actions and his manipulation of site administrators here to do his bidding is a matter for him. And of course Chimaera was an alt of Kepheral, without any other option how else could I put my point of view; defend myself, but I have to put my hands up to being taken aback and off balance by the sheer hatred and intensity of the attack, and the direction from which it came. Am I sorry for the deceit, of course I am, but at least I was able to ask Tigger one last question.
Whether this post is wooshed, I wouldn’t like to venture a guess. Whether it receives anything like a fair hearing; I fear the worst, but for some people out there, those responses, should there be any, will be a very telling commentary on the character of this site. NFWTD if I'm not banned for this, I do promise never ever to come back...ever, no flouncing this time.
You want to come back here You did promise you would never come back, mind you I will give you credit, at least you admit who you were.

Yes, I believe Tony Bennett said the words I used were harsh, I also recollect him saying there may have been one or two on here who would have agreed with me. He also said, if I recollect, that he personally would have no objection to the Chimaera Avatar remaining as a member, though I have not checked these recollections with that particular thread and I stand to be corrected. The fact remains he was wrong in his assumptions and his erroneous conclusions were not only serious allegations but must surely have influenced the ban Kepharel received and my vituperation at such false allegations was understandable given the circumstances, though I regret the strength and tone of what I said. I say this because the actual thread that got me the ban was some way short of being contentious in the first place. All this, however is old news that I won't dwell on.
All I have asked of admin is an explanation as to why Chimaera was banned. There has to be some justification surely. I would like to remain a part of this forum as a member because it is the voice of reason for MM on the internet. I no longer write or contribute to the forums in any meaningful way, but membership, even a dormant one, is important to me in the same way as membership of my political party, a badge for my beliefs. I would ask once again, why was Chimaera banned, and for that matter when was Chimaera banned?

I'm not admin, but would just like to ask a question please. You are asking why an avatar Chimaera was banned, but it's not the name, it is the person, surely? If the person has been told they are no longer welcome for whatever reason, surely it is irrelevant if they re-register under a different name? And if someone is shown the door by the forum owner or admin, why can that not be respected, as the forum belongs to them and operates on their terms?
For example, if a pub landlord barred someone from their premises as is their right to do, coming back in with a false moustache or some other disguise doesn't alter the barring, does it?

Question: would this be Chaselaine, by any chance? Is she calling the shots?
Oops, looks like the thread has gone, but you can always read whooshed threads here.
