To put this one to rest. I am a firm believer that everyone should be entitled to voice their opinion without fear of being verbally abused or ridiculed.
We recently had a spell where several people with their own agenda tried to usurp this forum.
Jim Taylor chose to join them and in the process he has tried, and continues to try, to decry both this site and me personally.
All of these people have caused irreparable damage to the ability of any forum such as this to provide a platform for free speech, where opposing viewpoints can be aired and disagreements can take place without the need for personal abuse.
I cannot and would not stop Jim Taylor from stating his views, but I can prevent him from abusing others on this forum and I do so in the hope that those others may be encouraged to state their views knowing they will not receive a vitriolic response.
They're interested in "free speech".
So why am I banned from posting? Is the only free speech they allowed that which they agree with?
Isn't it sad that, in this day and age, children are alloowed to work in the taxi trade. Shouldn't they be restricted to shimmying up lums?
Hopefully you will now understand the why.

do you know him.....love mr T..
