Nah, enough of this tomfoolery.
I am indeed "Ignatz" who used to post here a while back. I think this makes me a "sock puppet" which should be worthy of another ban, yes?
My main intention in coming back here was to highlight and protest about the utterly absurd and irrational posting rules that led to my banning (one day I'd be having a healthy debate outside CC with, say, Ian Neal. The next he'd be slapping me on the wrist for doing the same thing with someone else). In the end I was banned with no prior notice and no formal warning. I am definitely easily miffed when it comes to such matters.
But I found myself being sucked into the same old tired 9/11 debates and going round in the very predictable same old 9/11 circles.
I'll bid you a fond farewell, but not before pointing out that if the Admins of this site can't organise a forum then it's hard to see them organising some Brave New World.
p.s. I hope you all realise I blow my Illuminati retirement scheme by making this admission.
Cheers

Point of information: I don't do the moderation here and haven't done so for over 6 months.
Enjoy your retirement Glenn |

No personal slight intended Ian. Could well have been somebody else and it was a good time back.
Here's a general thought though, for the PTB on this board .. "Do unto others..."
To compare a banning from a forum in the backwaters of the internet to ... ooh, let's say .. getting banged up and tortured without charge or legal representation at Guantanamo might seem ridiculous, almost obscene.
But think of it as the rules of The Premiership v the rules of The Screwfix League Div iii (South) and it isn't quite so ridiculous. Due process is the key phrase. Rules is rules. If this site can't provide due process then it cannot demand it of Bush and co. And it does expect it of the Great PTB, therefore ..... ??? Onlookers can draw their own conclusions.

Never mind Ignatz, what I wanna know is if 'pepik' is really Max Mosely.

You could have just posted using your real name.
It does save you and your audience a huge bundle of time, figuring out things like doubt, integrity, why you would post using multiple identities etc . . . _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |
