Petition: Bring Back Speakeasy
Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2021 10:05 am
It has just come to my attention that Speakeasy, an extremely important member of this forum, was banned. Honestly, I don't really care what it was all about because I was not there and it happened in 2020, which was an extremely difficult time for everyone on the planet. Given his innumerable past contributions to this forum and HTLAL, I would like to formally petition that he be returned to the forum.
I did not always agree with what he said but this place needs some semblance of an element that goes against the grain. Simply put, echo chambers SUCK.
I am not sure who was offended, but it's been X months and it's time for you to forgive and move on with your life so that this forum can get back to having a wider variety of opinions. I'm not sure about you, but I miss his reviews of language courses. Who else has got the OCD, time and money to do that?
@Mods, I am sure that you are well aware that I have had incidences with some you and have been extremely candid in stating that I don't believe in Plantagenet Star Chamber moderation and that we should have free discussions as that's the entire point of learning languages. We may not always say what makes others happy, but that's a part of living in a human world in which people discuss freely.
