Good to see Patrick back. However, soon after being game enough to put my head back above the parapets here, Bill returns, having reckoned of me that arguing a case well constitutes intellectual bullying!? Also back is Steve, who has unilaterally declared us to be enemies!?

Brother Tamrin, Far be it from me to be a 'voice of reason' here, but you and I do unarguably have a difference of opinion from others. While I do not in all matters agree with the decisions of the mods, I do think they are honestly trying to deal with various and difficult problems. It not being our board, we must of necessity and out of simple pleasantries defer to the mods. Believe me, I know this is not easy! ;D I do think that to cause more unrest over certain issues than it deserves. Temples are not easy to build, and it becomes more difficult to keep the dogs from 'pissing against the wall', as it were. If we stand together and stand erect, this will not be able to stand for long.

With the reappearance of the auld regime, perhaps my wisest option is to again make my self scarce.

With the reappearance of the auld regime, perhaps my wisest option is to again make my self scarce. Bro. Philip. I appreciate you have a grievance towards some on this forum but as we all know there is more to be gained when reason prevails. I have learned much from you down through the years, especially about women in Masonry and many of the unjustifiable injustices toward them from some within our Craft. So, I hope you reconsider and remain and contribute once again in a way where we can all benefit. If you do decide to leave, then I too wish you safe and enjoyable travels.

I too would like to see you stay, Brother Tamrin. Those abuses again feminine and co Masonry from some are just plain wrong and UnMasonic. We can disagree without resorting to abusing of others. It is important for all Masons that this type of abuse be alleviated, and I commend you for expressing your displeasure.

Tamrin, Philip, I have locked horns with many over the years, some will like me some will loath me. Such is life - I would not want a friend who I had to lie to to make them so.
Arguing a point works both ways, you say Charlie is stupid, my job here, is to say sorry you should not say that.
Have I ever backed down from discussing anything with you.
You mentioned Steve, now if Steve can put up with me for the sake of the Forum, or to benefit the forum, I am sure he can put up with you and you him.
There is no abuse here against Feminine and Co Masonry. But there will be no harassing of anyone else either.
This forum like it or not is in the entertainment business. It needs to be of interest to all, not just those who want to put over one single point, so if any poster has a campaign to conduct that shows the forum as uneven , unreasonable or unfair the Mods must try to keep the balance.
Now Philip, stop being a plonker and get back to what you do best and create some interesting threads. Lets call the complaints about Mods a draw.

Well said Bill. It's good to have a healthy debate and discussions on all topics. But at the end of the day you have to draw a line when things go to far. The moderators are here to see fair play.
