A few "thank you's"..:)

Steve, whatever your issues are/were with Randy, I am not Randy, I am me. My invitation to discuss this issue with you via PM is because I really doubt the majority of players on this forum want to discuss this topic of people being banned any further. Your post makes me believe you still have issues with it, so I offered to answer your questions privately, while saving the forum any more drama.

Whatever my issues were with Randy has nothing to do with conducting forum business in the open instead of behind closed doors. Where the contents of those discussions are then not allowed to be used in relative discussions here later.

I don't still have issues with it, unless, it's only going to be applied to a few members and not all of them.

On the greater issue, if you go back and read the thread that announced the posting, I made it clear that they were banned for something that was quite over the top in my opinion. Not a one off slip of the tongue or a bad day. When I saw this thread mentioning other web sites I jumped right into it and stated clearly that if you want to talk about other web sites in an unfavorable manner this is not the place for it. I see that as consistent policy. It was not aimed at anyone in particular, but since I posted that advice it has been heeded by all. Were the warning ignored then the normal rules of moderation would apply, as they always have here.

Again, if you would like to discuss this further, feel free to PM or email me.

You have POS telling me I should go to another CM site and do a poll to see if his posts are wanted there. That if not he will remove them from the site. He has consistently bad mouthed and threatened TPG. The only CM site in the known universe that he's never been banned from.

There isn't a whisper of reproach from you on any of things he's said, except to say to tone it down. Has that been done since your warning?

Or has the tirade continued?

My sole issue is the evenhanded level playing field for all here.

As you know I only came here when I found my scenarios were used on the site without permission. That kind of started us off on the wrong foot. I've tried to get involved in things from that point on but there were "issues" from the Blitz side of that. So I read posts and every so often make a comment.

I give my point of view.

In the past, when not dealing with you, asking questions was tantamount to declaring war on the site. I'm hoping that part has changed now that I'm discussing this with you.

IMO, PM's are just that. Private Messages. Between you and me. About all kinds of things. But not Blitz business.

Good Hunting.
