Subject: The reason that I decided to stop posting in the winboard forum

I read that the winboard forum decided to ban all members of the arena team
see http://wbforum.volker-pittlik.name/viewtopic.php?t=1115

I am not a member of the arena team but as far as I know being a member in the
arena team is not illegal and I cannot support banning people because of that.

Volker Pittlik did not say only that posting links to the arena website is
forbidden but also that all members of the arena team are banned(unless he get
written apology from the webmaster of the arena website).

"2. I expect a written apology from the webmaster of the Arena website.
3. Until then all members of the Arena team are banned here."



I do not understand why posting links to the arena website is forbidden but I
could continue to post there inspite of that decision but banning people only
because they are member of the arena team is not acceptable by me.

It seems that Volker overreacted to a letter from his internet provider and I do
not post in the winboard forum until he does not correct it.

I am against rules that forbid links to the arena forum but I can accept them
but I cannot accept banning people only because they are members of the arena
team(not because of their posts in the winboard forum) when being a member of
the arena team is not something illegal.
