Unless something is personnally downright rude and offensive let people have their say.

So lets get Henry back on here and stop this childish title tatle, jesus H, he`s one of the biggest supporters of the club and "HE`s" being moderated, I don`t think so!

We don`t need this in the club, ok I can understand if something nasty and vindictive is said, then yes lets moderate but lets put things into perspective and grow up.

biggest suppporters ? he's not even paid his £25..

p.s. i believe i AM a member, but my old username has the roundel... i can't find that password.

Guys ... I very much consider Henry as a mate and I know where he is coming from ... however he is not a member of the DSC :(

I am not supporting or defending him but mentioning this for clarification.

However, we all want clarification of several things - once that is achieved we may see Henners, and a few others, returning to the club!

I am happy to be corrected on this if I'm wrong... but I believe Henners is not allowed re-join the DSC.

I've just deleted a long and unwieldy reply I was making. I'll just break it down to the essence.

When free speech is a right, it is the responsibility of anyone using that right to consider the wider consequences of using it. I believe that people don't always take that responsibility seriously enough.

As for the member that was flagrantly abusing the T&Cs, I certainly hope that the WT consider moderation, as those posts were completely out of order.

One last thing, I believe that the Club's reputation is of paramount importance. Short of gross financial mismanagement and misconduct on the part of the MT (for which I have seen no evidence), I feel that continued public criticism of the MT is NOT good for the club. That's what AGMs, EGMs and the process of voting MT members are for, to steer the club where it should be going without dragging its name through the mud.

are you sure thats what you mean to be saying? Because I am not sure and don't want to see you misrepresent yourself :-)

I'd like to agree with you. Really I would. But when people with far greater patience and commitment than I try to make a difference at AGMs, joining the MT etc, end up being ousted from the club entirely then you have to think that there's something wrong and it needs to be brought out into the open.

Let's play devil's advocate here Mike ... what about all the time, effort and expense all the current members of the MT have put into this club?

to be applauded, I am very grateful, but no one has a monopoly on good ideas

Funnily enough I have been flamed by a someone who if they were not a member of the MT then, they are now. Didn't see them being moderated. I just don't like double standards.
