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.

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.

Unfortunately point 1 is in direct opposition to point 2. I too am puzzled as to why Henners is being moderated. As far as I am aware, he hasn't contravened any of the listed items in the T&C. I am aware that he is not popular with the MT after events earlier this year.

Meanwhile, another member demonstrates flagrant disregard of T&C items 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and possibly 1.5 and is allowed to post un-moderated. The fact that this abuse of the T&C has been directed towards someone else who is not popular with the MT I find 'interesting'.

I certainly don't believe this is best left unchallenged, hushed up, done by PM or email, etc. This is a discussion forum, after all, and this matter is definitely worthy of discussion.

Mike
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.

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

b. You sign up to the rules and T&C's in advance.

c. The members vote in the MT and WT etc....

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.
