High Heel Place - View Single Post - Zero-tolerance strikes again

I was sorry to see Richie's actions in the thread at Hey from New York! and must post my comments here as Richie has also locked that thread - game, set and match to him.

Yes, Carmelo (33peachlane) has broken the rules by (gasp!) daring to mention his business activities in the guise of an introduction to himself. And (shock, horror!) he suspected that he might be doing so and apologised in advance, requesting moderator intervention if necessary. And also, to cap it all, he pressed the wrong button and turned himself into a female, but again asked for help, requesting a moderator-induced sex-change to restore his credentials.

Well, Carmelo got his moderator intervention all right - Richie has summarily banned him because he got it wrong in what was otherwise an inoffensive posting - a first posting by a newcomer who surely deserves a modicum of tolerance as well as respect. And Richie also wants us to boycott Carmelo's business, whatever it may be.

Sorry, Richie, but although I respect your role, I think you have been both harsh and unfair. And (with respect to you personally) as I yet have to see any posting from you (including this last one) which is entirely free of presentational error, no matter how trivial, you might allow others a little leeway on that score alone.

Now, am I to be banned for daring to challenge the referee?
