I agree with lone ranger. This is a JW or ex JW forum.
Post were being made off subject and derailing threads. There were threads about gay issues and i do not think Simon was directing his rule towards these.
In saying you have no rights here, that is the same with any moderated board. This is a moderated discussion board, when a person makes a post this has to be taken into consideration. Easily a person can fall into the trap of thinking the posters own the board and can post whatever they want, the reality is that this is Simons board. He has created the board and makes the rules as he sees fit. If a poster does not like this, then he/she has the choice whether to post on here.
In my opinion it can be a danger to see this site as a support, especially a sole support, this is a discussion board. In saying this i have used it for support and grateful for this, but in doing this it must be accepted that sometimes your views are going to conflict with those that make the rules, so it is best for me personally to use this as the discussion board that it was originally intended for. Therefore my "rights" or "lack of rights" does not come into the equation.
