You have every right to voice your disapproval of how I handle moderating this thread. But you should do this without calling me a name after the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

Mani a reasonable post such as your's deserves a reasonable reply. I'm sorry you find the term Maniban a personal slur. I know you probable don't read all the posts and perhaps you missed the one where I said "Maniban" does not so much refer to you but the padlocked steel shuttered minds of many on this thread. Like it or not, your name is Mani and it was a ban so Mani-ban does not seem unreasonable to describe the control of thought, which is what I think is happening here. I must admit that you have bent over backwards to be fair within the rules and my dispute is not really with the way you administer the rules but the rules themselves.

I know Paul can he hard to take. No need to argue that one. I also know that many have made the point that it was not his viewpoint that got him banned but his behavior therefore thought control is not a fair description of what happened. This argument fails to stand up when you consider that the ignore feature would have completely solved the problem yet most refused to exercise it. It is clear to me that the only difference between ignoring Paul and banning Paul is to prevent others from reading his posts as well as yourselves. This is thought control by definition and it is not just a coincidence that the term Mani-ban so closely resembles the term you find so objectionable. In deference I will not use that term again when referring to you.
