i thought i would check-out..cj's forum
got this mess-age

<<This blog...is open to invited readers only>>
which i find revealing*

*..revealing in that everyone there must have been invited*

*meaning each has been deliberatly trageted...for specific reason*
or by specific..adgenda?...or specific timming*[ie as suspended?]

which brings to mind..how cj coukld know..suspention to be inevitable[imminent]..or actually achieved*..[i use the word achieved..deliberatly...;

meaning i deliberated if one could complain to achieve a desired result...and other sopeculations...that are possable..but move-on

<<If you are a reader..of this blog,
tell us who you are!
Sign in using your google-Account>>

and that was the one step too far
so i didnt bother seking out the confirmation of what grayham posted
[but do not doudt..what he has written..to be correct]

it strikes me..that accumulating disaffected olo members
must be about more than just getting the numbers up at a blog

but dont know enough to add more light to the topic

so saying...i repeat my love for olo
and anticipate...the next incarnation..

[wishing others would... add-in more ideas to make..it better]
http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=11090&page=0

personally i feel...the offending bits are best esdited out
rather than the whole thread deleted...but realise time constraints..possably makes this too difficult

it occurs that if idiot is offencive..it should simply be put on the hot list...like other words..that get auto censorship

ps dont take this as a flame..to add more fuel
to the firestarter..[re cj's blog]..

ideally i would like to see grayham...host it...
somewhere on site...ie that we can keep these things..in-house

where we can be...*with our olo-peers..
yet keep our whole blogging histry..within the same...patent-ownership realm..[forum..format]...linked to the same user histry

[rather than clicking all over the globe..simply to find out whjere this or that..topic..histry..[his-story]..went]...maybe even as a paid option...[like freedom of information...re-quest?]

I have not looked at CJ Morgans site, may not do so.
I like the bloke we differ but I like conservatives too.
Foxy will be there, she was baited I was there day after day and saw it all, see TPP said it like it is ,like me she coped it because she held different views.
Now do not get me wrong, that difference makes us interesting, its the reason we come back.
Baiting exists in only a few the fact is I truly thought GY was being one sided, I WAS WRONG.
I ask no protective shield not free air to say as I wish, not changes in moderation.
I take full responsibility for my posts future and past.
Do not say cornflower the loss of CJM and Foxy makes this site better and while we should understand others views are a right we must too understand thinking differently is no crime.
This thread came about because some things should remain private and some tried to post things we are better than.
I understand why but unless you know the full story be assured we are better for those actions.

That's both hilarious and deeply sad, Graham.

It amazes me that people can make it to adulthood whilst remaining so puerile.

The exchange between Foxy and Ginx in the discussion under the edited pictures of Graham is an interesting read.

It is no doubt forlorn, but I still hope this situation can be resolved without barring, or voluntary barring of, some of OLO's best contributors. The fact that, as OUG reports, the blog says it is "open to invited readers" should redound to its credit. Like it or not we are all subject to private vilification. During my more sombre moments I even suspect poor Squeers is not universally admired..
On the subject of blogs, I am indeed naive. I was recently the subject of an innuendo (I think), when a savvy poster implied I was a blogger, his/her rationale being that s/he can always pick em. And yet neither Squeers nor his puppet-master has ever blogged. Indeed, the blogosphere remains a mysterious realm we don't altogether believe in--like heaven and hell... Can you enlighten me, OUG?
In any event, if my esteemed peers are to be burned I hope they will soon be reincarnated.
I would only add that on occasion here personalities and cliques bulk larger than content. Though I'm on friendly terms with one or two members, that has no bearing on the cut and thrust of debate, and should not. While Squeers is undoubtedly "full of it", and a wonker(?) he does take pride in the "rational kernel" within his often satirical tone. Unfortunately, however, the rhetorical (sometimes metaphysical) shell is seldom penetrated.

P.S. If Foxy is out there, her polite (if conservative) eloquence and wit are sorely missed..

squeers if you are a wonker chocolate buy's friends.

Just in case there is confusion my previous reference to Foxy was to highlight the level of nastiness directed at her on that blog. I want Holly to get an account over there and see how long the no d-head rules thing lasts. Somehow I suspect that his opinions would be less equal than others, his right to express himself less valid than the rights of others on the site.

I don't know the history here which upset Foxy enough to leave but I get the impression from comments on the blog that the tipping point was one comment deletion. I assume that was on top of some other concerns. I miss her as well.
