True, it was Doug who suspended Turq's posting privileges (but, didn't actually boot him off the group.) It was the other removal that was handled entirely by Rick.

It was Rick that gave Turq a "time out". This seems very Shakespearean or "much ado about nothing." I still go with the idea Rick gave in to Doug so he could learn that being a moderator was not "his cuppa tea." ;-) On 06/20/2015 09:43 AM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...

Turq got thrown out because he declared he was not subject to Doug's moderation. There's no need to have Doug explain it to us when we have the evidence of the post in which he explicitly announced he was going to completely ignore anything Doug said. (He had also repeatedly insulted Doug, among other things by calling him insane.) And BTW, Xeno, there were some very smart people--some smarter than you, in fact--who wanted Turq removed. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <curtisdeltablues@...> mailto:curtisdeltablues@... wrote : I agree with the need to know. If we are expected to follow your interpretation of the vague yahoo guidelines, it is only fair for us to find out what POV we need to align ourselves to until all dissenting voices are inevitably quelled here. So far it is a perfect reflection of the movement style. One of the longest posters here has suddenly been removed and we have no idea why. This is in contrast to what happened when R was removed for a very specific infraction o! f the rules that help us be safe posting here. We know why and if you don't do what he did, you wont get what he got. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <anartaxius@...> mailto:anartaxius@... wrote : Buck, what were your reasons for removing Turq from the group? I know there have been many complaints about him from spiritual cretins as to why they wanted him removed, but you have been silent about it, even though you seemed vocal about it in a general way prior to being appointed moderator. I am interested in the mind of our moderator. As you performed the action of blocking him, what were you feeling? He had, after all, been on your case for years.
