But what is this @#% about Mr. Peter Osborne having his persona and ID deleted?? This is what I understand.. if not true, I'm sorry.

If Pete (who is an umpire with intelligence and writing skill) is not welcome here, then NO EWS member participate.
Mr Osborne, aka His High Holiness, aka His Holiness has had numerous posts rejected for inappropriate content. In that regard he was the proverbial "three time loser". His most recent effort was not only to have his post rejected by the ADMIN, but also to come back and MODIFY the ADMIN's message in his original post cautioning about adherance to the forum guidelines, adding a message of his own that was critical of the ADMIN, the owner's and implied bias. An all around unhappy camper. In that respect he basically ASKED for his own removal in much the same way that most coaches ASK to be ejected from the diamond. As Mr Batt said, that doesn't mean he can't come back any time he believes he can adhere to the forum guidelines. He just can't come back as HH or even HHH. Is that necessarily a bad thing? I don't think so, given the negative connotations that "persona" carried over from other boards.

As to whether the so-called "EWS members" are willing to participate in his absence... for mine that's no mas either way.

Cheers,
