Lady Lee: You missed the point. I, of course, know JW disfellowshipping is not the same thing.
Then why make the comparison and offer your "letter"
You can say anything you choose to say as a moderator of this site. If you get paid for doing this, and I assume you do, well, of course, you are protecting your "job".
No one gets paid to moderate here. It is voluntary. We are a small group on a very large, active board. And there have been cases where mods were banned from the site for saying "anything I choose"
This is about me standing up and saying something when I perceive an injustice has been done, unlike what I wish I had done for my brother way back then to the elders. What I was trying to say is that I can't watch a bigoted scenario unfold right before me, and sit back and say nothing. You can make people THINK someone disregarded warning after warning. Because, really, there is no way to disprove that assertion, but I am choosing to say that an injustice was done out of a blatant bigoted downright hateful, revengeful, spiteful, prejudice against someone because "he's not one of us." (He was too "something" that the owner of this site didn't like....plain and simple) Someone mentioned "the powers that be." Well, that "power", imo, has displayed a gross misuse of it, and in his own words says he doesn't care. I can't trust a person like that. I can't feel free to dissent when a person like that has "the power" to humiliate a poster by simply pushing "deleted." It sucks to feel so suppressed.
I don't read everything that happens on this board. There aren't enough hours in a day.
And as you have done - let your voice be heard and chosen to leave. You have ever right to do that -- and we won't stop talking to you if you come back
