I'm disappointed in the GC moderators' recent actions.

Having recently been "excommunicated" for disagreeing with someone in a "position of power", I can attest to the fact that it comes roaring back in a very negative fashion on the person(s) who "punishes" another for not "toeing the party line" (or for whatever reason). It really does. And it's not pretty.

It is a simple matter to speak directly to the offending poster, publicly or privately. It is also a matter of respect. And when someone says something that you don't "like", there are many ways to respond. My personal favorite: rise above it.

One final comment: I live my life by Andrew Jackson's quote: sometimes one man with courage is a majority. It's been the motivating factor in my life. We all make mistakes. It's how we handle those mistakes when others make them that defines our characters. Forgiveness works wonders. So does lovingkindness.

This entire firestorm is unnecessary. And it's not going away any time soon; we are not sheeple. GC moderators, you can do better. Please do.
