My original reason for entering into the "Shiva-Ki" discussions was simply to defend a principle, not so much the man.
My point was, and still is, that a man was being "bashed" by members of this forum, while he was 'banned'.
It makes no matter how many invitations he had to re-join, or re-instate himself to this forum.
I never had any qualm about his being banned for good reason.
It is my understanding he deserved to be banned.
The point *is*, he was being bashed while he was banned, and I do not think that is right, or consistant with any rules of "fair-play".
My question has been, ( to the members ) "do you think this is right?"
The question remains unanswered.
I have also suggested, because of what I have experienced here, that there is a "double-standard" in effect.
It would certainly seem so.
If I had delivered *half* of the denigrating comments, to one or all of the members of this forum., and delivered only *half* of the threats sent to me, by forum members, during these discussions, I most certainly would have been banned.
And you know it.
No one has been banned, however.
To make things right, there are some principle players in this drama, who, if they have half the integrity they allude to possess, should come forward and be accountable for their actions; which have not been "quite right."
This sort of thing, this accountability, I think, is not in the offing.
'This', would be the reckoning, ( settling of accounts ) I spoke of.
For me, this has been an enlightening, and valuable experience; knowing now, beyond a doubt, I would not wish to be a member of, or associated with a group, with standards as dishonest, and dishonorable as has been found here.
Thank you-all for your enthusistic participation, and some of you, for your humor, others also, for making some good and fair comments.
and mostly to the vast remainder, who proved my point.
This is my last post in Blade-Forum.
