Greetings,
Firstly, Horse has not sent me any communication telling me that I had
been removed from the list or asking me not to post again. If he had, I
would have got it. I find it interesting that Horse also claims that he
'couldn't care less' if I remain here. Clearly the phrase 'couldn't care
less' has now been redefined to mean its opposite. Very moq.
Horse's offer of allowing me to be piggy-backed in is also very odd. I
am not sure if Horse has noticed, but that is already happening and I
don't need to sign up to some pact or give my word about anything for it
to continue. The only difference now is that Horse will remove anyone
who helps me if he doesn't like what I write. In other words, Horse has
seen that I am still at liberty to contribute and is now threatening
with expulsion those who help me! How this can be seen as a compromise I
am at a loss to understand and given the fact that Horse will be the
arbiter of what is acceptable, it seems like just another excuse to
silence dissent.
I am very grateful for the massive support I have received, both on and
off the list, although I am of course aware that much of it is support
for a principle rather than support for me 'per se'. Especially, I am
grateful to the members (including lurkers) who have offered to piggy
back me in as often as I like and without censorship, despite the
possible consequences.
So where from here? Given that Horse is undoubtedly the worst culprit
for insulting behaviour on this forum, the obvious solution is for Horse
to stop his abuse, allow my subscription and then refrain from insulting
me in the future. I will, of course, reciprocate in kind. Realistically,
this is unlikely to happen and that is great, because it means that I
can pop up every now and then to point out the censorship prevalent
here, quote directly from Horse's abusive messages to me, and allow
others to draw conclusions from them. If Horse wants to continue to
damage his own integrity and this forum then I can, and will, applaud
him from the sidelines and draw it to everyone's attention on a regular
basis.
I am certainly relieved that I do not accept the moq, for if I did
Horse's behaviour would probably force me to leave.
