As I mentioned it elsewhere, in the Good News thread, I have had a small problem in another forum. Not appropriate to explain further in that thread I thought I would just give a brief history of it here.
This is primarily because, as my same pseudo is used wherever I go, there may be some members here who are also members there but, although have noticed something untoward happening, because of censorship, do not know the story behind it.
I go back before Total France but it is there that the problem started. Completely out of the blue somebody who had just been made a moderator took offence at something I said. I was given a warning. Sometime later, another mod made almost exactly the same comment that I had and I jokingly said āwatch out, you can get your knuckles rapped for thatā followed by a smiley wink.
My nemesis mod immediately suspended me for 13 days, then forgot to lift the ban which extended to 30. I decided this wasnāt the place for me and moved on.
Later I spent a long time in a very friendly forum but one day āNemesisā arrived. When that forum folded, due to the owner no longer wanting to run it, Nemesis said they had a forum not used and ready to go and invited everyone to join. I declined and searched for pastures new. Nemesis pleaded with me to reconsider and not wanting me to lose all my friends confessed that they had been wrong on TF and apologised profusely. I declined and, again, moved on.
The one I found seemed fine but when someone who knew me asked why I hadnāt gone to Nemesisā forum I explained briefly why. The owner, who said Nemesis was a friend (not true according to N who told me later) objected and from then on I was a marked man and imagined āfaultsā were often pointed out. Eventually a good feel thread of the progress of a beautiful Dobermann girl I was fostering was suddenly locked after a lengthy outburst by this person accusing me of all sorts of things and announcing my immediate ban. The reason? I innocently ālikedā a post by someone I didnāt know and was unaware that she was on the hit list of the owners, so my ālikeā was taken as a dig at them.
On recommendation by a friend I was introduced to this forum and have been very happy especially in all the support I have received over my wifeās health. However, again via another friend I was invited to Nemesisā forum and, as once again N made it clear that they had been at fault before and with the comment that āyou would not need a grace period as you are known not to be a troublemakerā, I gave in and joined.
All was fine for a year or so but then a French man joined the forum. He was a retired engineer in the Vendee and was very useful as you would expect in all his advice and help. I conversed from time to time by email and although it was obvious that politically he was somewhat to the right of centre, I got on with him alright. He then introduced us all to Zemmour and his policies. Along with others I was less than impressed but treated our friend as messenger rather than prophet and was not pleased to see him hounded out of the forum by one person in particular. The other day that person, a British immigrant of French nationality announced that as Macron was shit he and his wife were seriously thinking of voting for Le Pen. At the end of another post of mine I commented that I was surprised to see that, from one who had taken offence to references to the other right winger in French politics. That was objected to by a member and Nemesis deleted the comment. That member then said it was her and, after I said it was merely a valid comment in a thread about the election she replied ātake it to PMā. I dislike PMs because they disappear overtime and prefer emails which, with me, donāt, but agreed and voiced my opinion that way to her. The reply was āwhateverā. I tried again with the same one word result so I mentioned that I had agreed to PMs but without success, that was all and would have been the end of it but, Nemesis suddenly popped up and attacked me in a post, which left me no choice but to reply to defend myself.
The next day all of that exchange has been deleted and I am required to sign in before posting, but on doing so I find that my password is no longer accepted.
Sorry this has been so long but my brief comment in the Good News thread needed explanation and I have been careful not to name the forums still live concerned or the people involved, or even the gender of principal people. I certainly donāt want it to give rise to any further aggro there but at least for those who read this and do know where and what I am talking about they do now have the facts that have been deleted. 
In view of all the above anonymity, @james I hope I havenāt in any way transgressed the rules of this forum.
