Disgusting; Somewhere over 20 Threads have been locked on ONE Sub-Forums, in recent months, most having had the greatest interest to both us readers and those that participate. Each ending with the basic same comment...."I'm right, your wrong and I'm the MODERATOR!!!" This person is a Major in the US Military, with certain powers, I sincerely hope are not being used in the same manner, having to at least answer to even higher powers.

Since I was involved early on, in more than one thread, I can assure you, yet remaining my opinion, there are many notable scientist that do and would disagree with the L_F. BANNING cypress, then FOR TROLLING goes well beyond the set decorum of this forum for all the years I've been here and frankly any other I'm aware of over many more years.
None of this is any of my business, but I feel obligated to a fellow poster to lodge my complaints, as he was not and now cannot lodge his own comments. I will suggest if nothing else that banning be commuted to time served (a one day suspension), an apology which IMO should come from who ever banned him (hopefully mod's don't have that authority) and setting up some limits on this "Locking of threads".
