Okay - i'm ready for a backlash, so please feel free to attack me questioning my motives, judgement or otherwise.
Member 'Rydaholm', after causing the desired effect in the 'How independent is BeoWorld' thread decided it wasn't quite enough to leave it at that. I answered all of his questions publically and left his account valid and open as anyone fair and honest would expect, but it seems that wasn't enough. Goading PM's kept filling my Inbox, and after my request not to communicate with me any more, they kept coming.
I ignored his taunts, against the advice of the moderating team, and tonight we have a public post on the General Forum entitled 'Where are you Lee???' with the tongue-in-cheek question "Please can Lee have a look in his mailbox, I have sent many mails to him, and no answer. Strange!"
Sorry all - enough is enough. Wether this is someone we suspect or not, i find this behaviour totally unacceptable and have banned him. I fully expect a bleating 'poor me' thread from him after re-registering - but i'm sorry, i'm not here to be abused. This isn't why i'm here, and if i'm expected to put up with this then i'd rather not be.
If anyone wishes to resign from BeoWorld for me being terribly unfair and stifling 'free speech', please feel free to do so - i will refund the remainder of your membership fees myself.
