I don't see any crime in someone expressing his opinion in an open forum. Is there a crime ? Any ? No - no moral issue. No political issue. No crime at all. This is all trying to split people into groups and frontiers. I don't like this. IMO we are all one. Or at least, we should act as ONE. >And for whatever reason I find myself under attack for doing so. > >This whole spate of resignations by members of the founder's group is an attempt >to get me in trouble with my fellow moderators, with Steve, and with the members >of CCC, for holding an opinion contrary to theirs, and for daring to express it >in an open forum. Right. This is what I see too. resignation as a kind of thread to bring other people into pressure. If you don't do this or that, or if you don't write or behave in the way we want you to do, we resign. I think this is no good style. It is a kind of threaten somebody or blackmail someone. It is ONE thing to resign. and another thing to USE this in a way the people have done it here. If i would feel the need to resign, i would first try to explain it to the people involved, and not make a public movie out of it. But - some people seem to need the public to act their life-drama in public. I wonder why. >If this makes me a rotten apple, I am rotten to the core. :-)))) I don't think you are bruce. you have expressed your opinion. this is democracy. this is the world i want to live in. i don't want to live in a place where other people try to force others people to post with disclaimers attached :-))) >bruce
