It does seem terribly authoritarian. Will they ban me if I say that kk sent me a message on Facebook? I'll tell you what she said if you like. Fucking lame.
I don't know why KK was banned but she brings a lot of life and lively debate to this forum. She offers support and a healthy dose of humour where it's needed.
From my understanding (and reading the forum) she's never bullied or harassed a single member so why have you put her on the naughty step? I think a bit of honesty and open communication would be appreciated from RW Towers.
I MAY be wrong but from what I understood KK had received a rather angry email from a forumite via FB. KK then mentioned that she was upset about that FB message on her thread, and as far as could see from her thread she never mentioned the person by name.
Correction, I remember now, KK cut & pasted the message verbatim on her thread, saying she had just received this via FB and obviously wasn't happy about it. However, the author of the message wasn't mentioned. Yes I agree I can't see anything wrong with that.
I think it's another example of it doesn't matter what's being said but who says it.
I knew about the ban as me and KK were communing about summat else to do with tri and she asked me to PM someone on this forum to contact her as she couldn't do so 'cos of the ban.
it all sounds very OTT on RW's part
RW - any wonder why many of the old stagers have left or don't post as often??? 'cos you don't get involved with the community like Dan and Pishfool used to and you're too far up your own arses with your PC'ness
It's amazing that it's come to pass that you can be as free-thinking as you like providing you don't say anything that might, just possibly, offend someone.
Turns out that George Orwell was right, just not quite in the way he expected.
kk is one of the very few 'good value' posters left on here...wonder why?
This is ridiculous. Agree with Sussex Runner, the forum's worse off without kk around to spark off some inventive conversation. Doesn't sound like she deserved to get banned, presumably a complaint was made on here and there's been an overreaction.

blimey! what do you have to do to get banned?! come back kk!

Last time I looked they didn't own facebook,

Bring back KK!
Seems a bit off - banning someone here for something they wrote elsewhere? (I'm assuming that's what has happened from the above posts!)
That's OTT, surely?
Yep. I only came on the forum again to express my dismay. RW appear to think they own the internet. Idiots.
Free the RW One.
And that's because you lot are really rather lame. Sorry, but it's true.
I don't think that was actually the case.
I MAY be wrong but from what I understood KK had received a rather angry email from a forumite via FB. KK then mentioned that she was upset about that FB message on her thread, and as far as could see from her thread she never mentioned the person by name.
Still think it's OTT though.
Ban me.

I agree, Nam. I've seen much worse.
