This forum is Stalinist already with Velocio at the helm as an unelected leader/overlord /controller , in that respect i was acting in the "spirit" of this place. The members whose posts i illicitly doctored were acting in the manner of trolls . Their willful recidivist behavior was neither welcome , helpful or constructive,they seemed to take a vicarious pleasure in pissing off people they didn't know . They failed to follow the instruction on the heading of the social groups section of joining before posting and ignored our protestations. . They were not acting in the "spirit" of the Cambridge group .
In the past trolls have been censored by velocio . I think they had it coming , their posts were not even very original or funny . I had previously asked velocio why the block on non members posting was down and didn't really get a definite answer why .
Censorship is already rife anyway , new members are gagged during their nursery period, in the polo groups "no polo no talk policy" ,and generally potential posters are silenced by the fear of incurring the wrath of grumpy members .
Being a moderator was too much for me, the power was intoxicating and corrupting and like Saddam it wasn't too long before i began to to get "Uppity" .
I happily accept my punishment , and will always relish the memory of the thrill of hitting the "edit" icon and advise any new moderators to use it as thoughtlessly too.
P.s Bogey...aka types is even more evil than me.
