While I respect the intend, I feel it is patently prejudiced and pointedly undemocratic, to have allowed the venom to spew on the site from a fellow American, which I by the way don't mind, but while rejecting and censoring my mild, kind and sympathetic response. I felt and feel obligated to respond to the ears of those with whom I have chatted for so many years. Mike Ridlin is not an issue here. It is about our Orkney group, and our rights to experssion. The original letter from the "enforcement" division, completely misunderstood the rules set down many many years before. I don't think that anyone, anywhere, has the right to unilaterally alter or impede what has been a success for years. This site has always been democratic. I hope that doesn't change. Stephen. Davie
