I think Dick has a valid point in regards the moderators locking of threads.
I understand the frustration they must feel with serial pest posters.
I have no doubt the moderators are influenced by other factors. I don't for a minute expect them accept a level playing field, it is after all their bat and ball, and we live in a very litigious society.
Dick Smith's posts are always relevant. I respect the guy immensely. There should be more like he and Nick Xenophon. I hope he enters parliament and rattles their cages.
Dick is one of the few who posts with his own name. I always try to post thinking, what if one day they suddenly reveal all our names. Would I regret my posts?
Play the issue not the man, unless the man is an idiot of course, but who decides that?
Cheers,
Craven
