The fiction going around that the closing of the forum was directly due to the contents or attitudes of the members is laughable. Those who were there know. Incompetent moderators and supervisors were responsible. They were the ones that condoned the posting, by a moderator of prejudicial interventions that showed his contempt for some posters. The supervisors knew these posts would not witstand the close scrutiny of membership. So the Forum took the bullet for them. A profile in courage, this was not. This sort of actions point to a complete failure of the admin processes and policies and casts a dark shadow on the very integrity of this site. Whether members here want to trust people who would show so little competence and integrity of judgment with personal and financial information, is up to members to decide. But lets be clear, in the end that's what it all boils down to: TRUST. Q
