The rest won't. Michael I'll not post further at this site, and I suggest the same to Merlin. Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen, Merlin can still post. He's just getting a time out on his nonstop flame warring. I'll let anything of substance through. Unfortunately, he offers very little of substance these days for OL readers. Just picking fights with OL members over trivia. You can post anytime. Be well. Michael Link to post Share on other sites

His 'user page' just says "Restricted." Is he able to attempt to comment, then have that comment go to the moderator? It looks like a complete shut-out. He's lucky he didn't call anyone the P word.

William, I have to see his posts before I allow them to become visible to the public. If it's trolling, they don't go through. If it's substance, they go through. I decide. And he decides if that is acceptable or not. If he posts, good for OL. If he never posts again, that's good for OL. Michael Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like a complete shut-out. I have to see his posts before I allow them to become visible to the public. I got an email from Merlin Jetton. He says that he cannot post, cannot check his messages, cannot do anything. It looks like he is banned/restricted rather that moderated/restricting. 19 hours ago, Michael Stuart Kelly said: If it's trolling, they don't go through. If it's substance, they go through. I decide. Can you please check the settings again? I don't want to mediate or get in between you doing what you want, but you might have tripped a setting that you did not intend to set.

It just won't appear until I see it and approve. As to the messenger, I disabled it for his use. I'm not a practitioner of sanction of the victim. Guess where I learned that? Hmmmm?... Given his nonstop habit of petty vindictiveness, I can't imagine why he would use the messages on OL right now except to bitch about me and try to damage the forum. I can't find a single good reason for me to provide the means for that end. Besides, the Internet outside of OL is huge. Nobody is stopping him from using it. Let the dust settle and we'll talk later. Michael Link to post Share on other sites
anthony 176 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Well, despite the rest I hope he keeps his C and C blog running. There is some good material here. Link to post Share on other sites
