    Perfect Union forum is a ‘perfect’ example of why this is a good policy.

    Discussing any discipline on site with others would be inappropriate that is between the mods and the individual.

    Hopefully it is just temporary. I have a great deal of respect for Ken.

    Staff rule #1 is not discussing what goes on in the staff area - we don’t discuss any action or inaction administrative or otherwise with anyone except the person whom the action affects.

    AS IT SHOULD BE.

    Rules are rules and must be followed and enforced. That said, hopefully the punishment is temporary and fits the transgression . I also enjoyed reading Pressman’s reloading history lessons.

    Sadly this is the first thing I've read or seen about the subject we are not to name being banned. And I'm on here nearly every day.

    It could have been me as I have very specific opinions (as we all) on such subjects.

    Of course, it could have been for something totally unrelated.

    I don’t think it would be an easy job to be a moderator.

    I understand why the banned subject was banned, but was surprised at how easy it was to go where one isn't supposed to go. Due diligence is required, and that beyond the normal. Unfortunately, some are unable to have a calm, reasonable discussions, and it forces those who can to self censor!

    I was un aware at first that the C-word subject was off limits ... and may have posted something ...
    It's amazing my ignorant old self didn't get banned ...

    I would like to take the stand and testify for Pressman and vouch that he is , at heart a good person and valuable contributor ... I hope he can be pardoned for his crimes and soon reinstated ...
    I will be very sad if the punishment is permanent .
    Please give him a second chance .

    I'm in the same boat as a couple others here. I often go a week or more without getting on the site, and when I do get on I typically don't bother going back through hundreds of posts. I didn't, and never would have known y'all designated a subject as taboo. Like Dunbar, I could have easily been disappeared not realizing my transgression.

    Maybe a broadcast private message to all members? I'm not sure what tools are available. Still, kudos to the moderators on here. I certainly don't envy you the job.

    I wouldn’t expect Mods to discuss why someone was banned. But I see no reason the members can’t gossip.

    And every opportunity to put out the word on the forbidden subject probably saves someone.

    The mods do give reasonable warning..... the problem, some times, is our own forgetfulness! Once warned, you get a limited number of warnings, and then kaput. The standards are clearly spelled out, so it does fall back onto the shoulders of the member to stay off the subject.

    +1. I hope this is temporary. I really enjoyed what Pressman brought to the forum.
