E-mail Message: Thread is Gone

I'm done here. I've been booted from the boards. I posted a thank you to Darren (cars4dylan) for picking up some things for me at the convention; that thread was removed.

They even removed SHILO's where he thanked me for the 442's I sent him. It looks like they'll hang anyone by using the "guilt by association" clause. They didn't even read it, just hit the button.

I see the real reason but they won't come right out and say it. I was moderated for criticizing HWC Ryan for not answering questions on the RLC™ side of the boards. The guy has never addressed questions or concerns regarding the RLC™ and I guess the truth hurts. OUCH!

NSPO, you are correct, the rules have changed. They say bashing or arguing with other members is cause for moderation but it has now evolved into a tool to silence any criticism of Mattel® or any employee thereof.

I was also told that members are not allowed to publicly defend other members' posts or voice their displeasure with the administration's decisions, otherwise they risk moderation as well. How's that for censorship?

I wouldn't have asked the question about our enthusiasm being taken for granted or abused, because the answer's an obvious, overwhelming YES!

However, if you say so, then you will be labeled as negative by the crowd that thinks that Mattel® can do no wrong. The only thing cheerleading does is undermine those in the membership that try to hold this club to a higher standard.

Thinking like this could get you banned... Oops, too late.

I see rumours of YOUR demise have been greatly exaggerated.
