A professional organization sanctioned 'Payback"? Really? Do they know you are presuming to speak for them in this?

Weak Sauce.
Maybe a spot of Tarragon? Parsley? Oregano?
edit:it's less odd than you might think.

Good Fattie or do you want to go by your new name now which most likely will change again.
So now that it looks like you are back: will Israel strike Syria’s chemical weapons storehouses first or go after Iran or Iran then Syria?
Israel internal problems don't look good either. At least they are talking about the orthodox cowards hiding or always praying at the wall to start fighting for their country but your religious leaders say no.
Love the one on the sheriff training: nothing, Israel is always looking for more to help why can't you. Too scared?

This whole thread is as pathetic as the spin doctor that got banned.
Are your lives really so small that this matters.
The very worst of first world problems.

Thanks Crimp. How weird that a forum for climbers to hang out and be climbers, gets into fringe petty dramas like this.

I'll cross post here what I posted on the now deleted Lady thread.
In these situations the classiest and more powerful thing to do
is to say nothing.

Few things irk me more, on moderated forums, than a power-hungry moderator that doesn't like diverse opinions (but allows disruptive behavior by his/her confrere).. and who satisfies tyrannical inclinations by removing the one freedom that they can't remove from you in material life, the freedom of speech. The removal of freedom of speech on the internet in the form of "banning". You're no longer allowed to post and you are no longer welcome on the site. Everything you have ever said or discussed comes to nothing. Your character is no longer allowed on the forum and if you want to come back, better change your temperament and succumb to the community stereotype..
Does that kind of forum make you unhappy, Lois?
Try an unmoderated forum ...run as a stone age oligarchy. A forum in which the administration maintains low profile and is run (de facto) by a small and privileged clique. A highly vocal faction who attempt to coerce forum opinion and membership... by favoring perceived opponents with an incessant barrage of accusation, insult and derision. And with an administration seemingly driven to please that vocal faction... they can largely rule...
Try a forum oligarchy, Lois...
Oh, my apologies! I guess you did.

Jennie - Hope you are well!
I admit to being a bit confused by your post. I mean, what supertopo is and isn't is no surprise. It's owned and run by one guy and he runs it the way he wishes. And he does. It's always been that way. It's his and he can do so.
The idea that it is run by a small vocal group is what puzzles me. I don't have enough information to know that this is the case - do you? Just because there are vocal factions here doesn't make them powerful or in control. Or maybe you know more?
I guess I do know that if that is the case, I am not a part of the power circle. I admit that there are several people who have been banned whose heads I've never called for. And there is one person here who I would have banned a long time ago. And if I were king, people would not get second chances!

Ooh, ooh! Betting pool on who Crimpie's 'John the baptist' is!
I also don't get who the vocal elite whose views are reflected might be. I think they only banned a couple of people I felt strongly about, though most of the rest seemed inevitable.
