I didn't see Moose's initial post, thus I have no comment on it.
In regards to Dave's question: "Surely it was *perceived* by Mr. Batt to be in violation of the guidelines set out by Right Sports (by the way, where exactly are those guidelines? Is there a link I can click somewhere and read them?)"
1. As owner/administrator it is well within Mr. Batt's authority to act upon his perception, just as is for Gary McGriff and the administrators at ETeamz. The fact that each draws the line at different areas does not diminish their right to do so.
2. When you registered at this forum you first "had to" read the policy on the appropriateness of posts, which included the guidelines, and then click either "ok" or "I accept", I believe. I forget the exact language.
In essence we have all been forewarned.
I don't know if there is a link to bring that back up after registering.
3. Regards Dave's comment: "but, as someone else said on a private mail list where the banned Moose post has resurfaced, there are any number of much more inflammatory posts, by a number of members, readily accessible in the forum archives."
That would be in their opinion. I happen to agree, but sometimes some posts escape the attention of the administrators. They do not monitor this forum 24 hours a day. Additionally, it is not my, or anyone else's opinion that rules on this issue, it is that of the forum's administrators.
Again, likewise elsewhere. I cannot get posts removed from McGriff's that go far beyond what is tolerated here. That is for Gary to decide.
