Thanks for your post Ray. I really appreciate your willingness to try and pull everyone together for the sake of this wonderful community :)
What you outlined in your first post is all myself and the other team members here at WAB ever wanted. Certainly debate all you want - in fact I encourage it - but we are really asking for everyone's support in bringing to an end to these childish spats that seem to spring up now and again in certain areas of the community.
I am totally against extreme moderation and censorship and WAB is widely known for not tolerating this type of moderating. We prefer instead to work with our members as openly as possible and resolve matters as a community.
Quite frankly though some of our members have been taking advantage of the good nature of our moderators and we (as well as many other long time members) have had enough of it. We aren't going to allow these silly childish spats destroy this great community that hundreds of loyal members have spent years building and enjoy visiting and posting at.
I think it would do everyone some good to read Ray's initial post again... regardless if you are Indian, Canadian, British, Pakistani etc. as he has made some excellent points. WAB is truly a global community, so it is important that everyone can get along. Note, I didn't say it is important that everyone agrees with each other, but it is important that everone gets along. As I say... debate all you like but please bring an end to this childish nonsense.

Edit: Just to clarify. I don't agree with everything Ray has posted but I do agree with the points raised in his initial post of this thread. While I don't agree with everyone Ray posts... I am not going to go and start a childish fight with him :D
