Let's try to be precise, shall we, orn? These are the facts from my point of view in chronological order: >From what I hear I got banned from this group a couple of years ago by chance or by accident, whichever way you like it, or by a Google bug for the animal friends here. Craig checked and resolved the issue after I asked him. After that incident I only had minor technical trouble accessing this site and only at times when others had the same trouble. Nothing personal then, I assumed. But for the last weeks things have changed. First time I couldn't directly access the website I thought it was a bug again. And I asked the moderators to resolve the issue. It was Chris whom I asked via facebook, who set me off moderation again. Only a short time later I perceived time lag in posting again. I started the "behind the leg" thread to find out what was going on this time and found out that I was being set on moderation again. This time I asked Chris openly on facebook to help me. And he did. I could directly post to the website again. Until a couple of days ago my starter posting for a new thread got banned/got deleted/was being made to disappear/got cleaned from the group's website. First time this happened to me. In this posting I reminded orn that I was still waiting for an answer (to explain why I was being set on moderation in the last weeks by probably him). I sent out a copy of the deleted thread starting posting to the present ME posters. And he did not reply again.
My interpretation: Reading the post that he was making here only minutes after he presumably deleted mine, tells me that his postings follow a conscious agenda. An agenda that in practice subdues others. If that is how spinning is defined then he is spinning this group for his very own purpose, yes.
