Gone. Reinstated but lets not let PWCC consume the whole board and every thread, please. Maybe he will speak at the Banquet, who knows? Come to it and find out.

Let this be a warning. IF the crap about PWCC consumes other threads, not about them, it will be dealt with quickly. Talk all you want to in threads concerning them but when it spills everywhere else that is too much, imo.

Why should I have gotten banned in the first place for simply suggesting that it might be a good idea for a speaker at your banquet to be the person who has consumed this board for the last couple of weeks so he can at least discuss the controversy surrounding his practices? He’s a hugely topical subject of our hobby right now. And why is it bad for “trolls” to post under IDs but also bad for people to speak their minds here under their real names? I’m pretty new here and perhaps I’m missing something but it seems as if you’re creating a climate of fear by censoring the board while all I was suggesting to do was to give Brent/PWCC an opportunity to speak directly to those who are most impacted by what is going on? Shouldn’t that be a main purpose of a forum like this?

While I can't speak for Leon and I have no idea of your intentions, as an outsider, the original comment came across as kind of snide. It could be taken out of context.

Wasn’t meant that way but I do appreciate the clarification.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
