I don't know, Dr. Bob. I think you are beginning to get hypocritical in your blocking. Correct me if I am wrong.
For example, the comment that caused me to get blocked was: "The fact that this forum is run as a dictatorship ... is disgusting."
You claimed this would make people feel "accused." Then you turned around in the very next paragraph and said "freedom of speech is limited here," which is consistent with the dictionary definition of "dictatorship":
a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.)
(Is that not how you run this board, Dr. Bob?)
So, by simply reiterating something you've said time and time again, you banned me. How is that not hypocritical?
That's like you saying, "You have no right to say what you want here, but you /can/ express an opinion," and my replying "I don't like the fact I can't say what I want" (which is an opinion) and your turning around and banning me because I did something you have personally said was O.K. many, many times (that is, expression an opinion). In fact, what else is the purpose for this board if not to express opinion on the administration of this board.
(Come to think of it, banning based on a post in the administration section itself is questionable.)
Well, that's my defense of my ban. Unfortunately, I suspect this will fall on deaf ears.
