Re: G Wombat

Everyone deserves respect... I agree. I hold no ill will towards anyone.

However, I choose not to communicate with anyone who, dependent on how they feel at any given moment, will change rules in midstream, ban people, edit and/or hide/delete their posts just because they have the power to do so and/or they disagree with the content. It is like an ego trip, blood drunk rampage at times.

I was honest in my post to V about his post on kelp. He is intelligent and knew exactly what he was doing. In fact, it would not surprise me one bit if it was a bait post to me and/or a few others so that he could find the excuse to hit the ban.

V practices demonization of whatever, and uses manipulative fear tactics to steer people into his camp and away from things he does not agree with. He has done it since his appearance on CZ with his old user names and continues to do so as V.

If you were/are aware of my history with V or others history with V such as FinallyFaith, you would know that V has a very long and strong history of editing out his posts after the fact and in effect covering his tracts or eliminating what could be health related information from his postings. Wombat defends his actions; why? I have no idea... to me, at times they are unconscionable.

I have great respect for the work Wombat has done in that forum, I have respect for V and his knowledge, and I have respect for trapper. In each case though I have to admit the strength of that respect has fallen some... V's for reasons stated here, Wombats for defending his behavior, and trapper for seemingly losing site of his roots in natural healing and following V instead of being the strong leader he could be.

In addition, what that "gang", and a few others did to 23Psalms and others was nasty and uncalled for...

I called V on his behavior several times (before he was ever a moderator) as did many others... he seems to relish being able to do anything to anyone and everyone's posts, banning at will... He has not changed, and most likely never will... he revels in the show of wielding power. And it is a "show" of power; he makes this very clear. His behavior is dictatorial and as long as he remains a known administrator of a forum, I will stay away from it. Tweet
