I welcome anyone who'd like to join up and participate in discussions there.  I don't understand what you think I need to apologize for. Sorry.  Well, you now know otherwise. Persisting in claiming some sort of discrimination is rather pointless. As I said, all new members automatically start in moderated status.  The Sengoku list is not a public square for the exercise of free speech. It is a private list administrated by yours truly for the discussion of Sengoku, and the list has rules that everyone agrees to follow when they join up.  Come on. I never accused you of "spamming." I asked you to keep your posts on-topic because I was concerned that your messages were veering farther and farther from being "on-topic."  As a brand new member with "d20books" as your screen name and e-mail address, and with your store URL in your sig, I was already wary. Sengoku is not a d20 game. "Maybe he's a fan of the game," I thought. So I watched your posts.  Very quickly you started talking about sales of other d20 products. That's when I asked you to stay on-topic. I didn't censor you or place you on moderated status for it. I asked you to stay on topic.  Specifically, I wrote, "Let's try to bring the discussion back on topic. I don't want to see this thread evolve into essentially advertising for, oh, say, someone's d20 book selling web site, hm'kay? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />"  Regarding my supposed accusation of you "spamming," after your departure I posted, "As I suspected. It seems he was here more to promote his own commercial web site than to discuss Sengoku. ::sigh::" To me it did indeed seem that way.  And for the record, it was someone else who used the term "spammer," not I.  Your frustration may be founded but posts to the Sengoku list need to stay on-topic. Otherwise it ceases to be enjoyable for the membership as a whole, who are there to discuss Sengoku. As the list administrator it's my job to keep the peace and maintain the utility of the list for the members. I'm afraid I won't apologize for that.  If you want to discuss the situation civilly then I would suggest we take this to private mail. I see no point in continuing a public discussion as it serves no purpose, IMO.  Have a good one.</blockquote>
