    What is your reasoning ?

    I have closed this thread, pending a review by the other moderators.

    Full disclosure: in a private message, I demanded a full retraction and apology from paddoboy of his baseless implications in post #84 that I have sexually harassed somebody and/or that I am a rapist, a pedophile, or both. If any of these accusations were true, that would make me a criminal. I could go to jail. So I take this attempt to smear my reputation very seriously indeed.

    I also requested an apology from paddoboy for his inappropriate comments focussed on various aspects of my private sex life. I believe those comments constitute sexual harassment.

    The relevant private message was shared in full with other moderators, Tiassa and Bells.

    I don't think either of these requests was unreasonable in the circumstances. Again, it appears that rather than doing the right thing, paddoboy has chosen to double down on his appalling behaviour. I will recuse myself from taking any action in regards to paddoboy's membership. The other moderators will decide where this goes from here. I would like to see paddoboy permanently banned, in light of his response in post #92 to my reasonable request.

    Hmm. Post #84 in the Chivalry/Sexual Violence thread reads:

    Bells: Of course it hasn't changed.
    Jeeves: And now probably won't. That 40% is winning. It's too bad.

    So it's not that one. Is there _another_ acrimonius sexual harassment thread featuring Paddoboy that's underway? Wow.

    You keep saying that but give no indication of why you think that. I don't see that. What are you talking about?

    That's a bit mean . River doesn't get the quoting function and should try to learn it out of consideration for other posters,but we should leave the p word right out of this thread .

    I think there comes a point, when you ban a member or not, and discussing it like this (to me) seems counter productive. If the mods collectively agreed to not ban him, then threads like these shouldn't be allowed to trail on. Because then it just becomes a gossip thread. Just my $.02

    Well you have quoted River as apparently saying something James actually said.(Your post at Today 1.31 pm)

    I am not sure whose wires are crossed but I think it is River's and you don't seem to have noticed.

    No (that occured to me too

    ) I meant paedophile. That word should not be bandied around or requoted unnecessarily as B/wS did.

    Ah I see. A bit. Except that BwS didn't mention it, so far as I can see. But anyway it doesn't matter much.

    Agreed.

    I was in two minds about whether to just delete the thread and reply to river by personal message, especially since the answer to his question has been published in the public forums for quite a while now.

    But then there was a small chance that river might fill us in on exactly how I've been "brainwashed", or what he believes has "seriously discredited" blah blah blah. I guess that's not going to happen. So, closed.
