sveral people have emailed me concerning the thread that I posted last evening. Regarding the treatment of Colin from hampshire. Among those who mailed me was Michelle inviting me to a personal contact if I wanted to discuss the matter further. However my thread was removed without my knowledge or consent which of course strikes me as a very blatent move of self protection and running away from the truth. I have every intention of taking up the invitation to discuss this matter further With GR Sincerly ERNEST

I'm glad to hear that you're following up on this Ernest. Some time ago I emailed customer service and did not get a reply. After about a week I posted a message on the General Board asking if anyone else was having difficulty getting a response from the site managers within their stated 1-2 days. Michelle emailed me directly almost as soon as it appeared and removed my query from the board so I never got any responses. I believe it was a legitimate question and I was entitled to ask it and recieve replies to it if people so wished. I think its removal was blatant self-protection and very irritating. I hope you get a more useful response from her.

Hi Ernest, Get the feeling we're being dictated to? Your thread was neither abusive or offensive. There was no reason to take it off, unless GR are frightened of free speech - which I thought we still had!!!!! take care me lover MaggieXXX

Well done Ernest- I think whatever your point of view on this whole affair- you have the right to air your views on this board. After all, we are supposedly a free country- why is there censorship on this site???? Glad to see they did not cancel you too!!!

I still have not had a reply re: the flashing ads - in the past l have had replies and a great deal of help - BUT - l am really saddened at this latest session, l still can't believe they have done this to Colin and yourself Ernest. You are both true gents, the whole thing is obsurd. l won't be leaving the site, not yet anyway, l'm hooked!! Mind you l have rellies here next week for 2 weeks,so there won't be much time for puters. l wonder what can happen in two weeks!!!!! Well done Ernest, much appreciated!!:o) Jude sarf wales.

Another thread about Colin has disappeared. Can't remember who started it, but they were confused as to why Colin's membership had been stopped! Maggie
