I'd have responded to what was being said on the CLC thread on CLD before now, but it seems the discussion was conducted in the CLF channel to which I no longer have access. I haven't left CLD and had the CLF channel role prior to expressing a different opinion with Macka and Rob. Now my access is gone. If this was intentional, that is a really petty and childish reaction.
If you're going to administrate a place where ideas are shared, it's preferable that you be able to cope with points of view that might not align with your own and refrain from dismissing them entirely or having a meltdown when constructive criticism is given. And no, having a different perspective and expressing it doesn't mean I'm full of hate, negativity or acting like a troll (which are all labels directed towards me by Macka and Rob).
I've expressed the concern to Macka and Rob that they not exclude others and be willing to listen to different viewpoints with an open mind. What I've experienced on several occasions was quite the opposite.
Macka will probably remember a conversation we had a few weeks ago. I told him in DM that I could see that steps were being taken to exclude some from CLD, which appears to be precisely what has happened. (Turn off enough access and try to force people to leave. But I'm not intimidated by bully tactics.). Since you say you're all about fairness, let's see if you rectify the situation. Or will you continue to try to cull out anyone who doesn't share exactly the same outlook as your own?
