Okay, some things, I don't get, but maybe it's a language barrier, who knows ...
1.) What did the smurfs do to be insulted by comparisons with certain people on the dictator's forum? The smurfs, as far as I remember the stories, never put that much effort into silencing people, never really backstabbed each other and are in general nice little blue people.
2.) WKitty ... well, I assume, he is a shiny product of an educational system that teaches only one language and even that not without glitches. Which of course poses a problem, because while the knowledge in vocabulary and grammatical details in a second or third language can never be complete, multilingual speakers have usually a completely different and far more sophisticated insight in the inner workings of languages in general. So, is WKitty, just a little less educated and therefore can't understand that or is he stupid and malignant and tries to pull another little propaganda trick in the style of a certain Reichspropagandaminister*?
3.) Stuart writes in his statement, "the moderators". So he speaks for all of them. Since there were no other statements, for example from Gijs or Johan, it appears as if the agree not only to this ban but also to the silencing policies over there. Notice, I write "it appears". At this point, signs of life would be appreciated from other moderators at Curtis' forum because nobody knows for sure, whether other moderators than Stuart and Bugman are actually still moderating there. Maybe the real users are long gone and Bugman or Stuart writes in their name ... who can really know, the way things are going over there?
So ... did anybody see lately any other moderators there, or did they already perform a Gleichschaltung*?
