Dear Friends!
Today the time for me too has come to cut the sails and say Goodbye!
I had 2 wonderful years here at BCUK, only the last couple of months I started to miss more and more the old timers here, the old gang sharing the same interests, writing more stuff about Bushcraft than kit related thoughts and info.
I think Tony you do a good job keeping the forum family friendly, I think in that way you got a great forum here. But something happened; I dont know exactly what you guys do wrong but it looks like that your moderator team is disappointing a lot of old timers, in the way they do their job. I never really understood all the censorship going on in areas, which are clearly related to Bushcraft.
I got Threads censored which had to do with hunting brown bears, skinning foxes, weapons and ammo and several others. Anyhow, I thought I will not give up so easily so I stayed on.
Today again, I got a post censored, simply being cut out. I dont understand why I was not asked before, got an explanation from the moderators, or simply got a chance to understand why?
Well, we heard it again and again that you moderators dont need to ask, that the forum is not a democracy etc etc. Ok, I accept that but what I dont accept is that you cut my post while you keep the political slander against fur handling in the Thread about the baker tent, while you cut out my answer to that green nit wit, talking about stuff he doesnt have a clue about.
I must say that this feels quite strange after I have been a very active member here for 2 years, people know that I write very balanced posts, share informative knowledge and do my best to make this forum and interesting place. I admit I was doing better some month ago but then again I am a team player and more and more guys I liked to kick the ball around, got banned.
The time for me here at BCUK is over. There is no right and wrong, maybe I simply dont find my kind of people here anymore.
To all my friends, who are still here, please stay in contact with me via my webpage , I really enjoyed you all and would like to know how you are doing!
Keep in contact guys!
Yours
Abbe
