The Hub Bub



Found some posts mysteriously deleted off The Hub after I left work. Was a pity since Carinus Lemmer (head honcho at CSA) responded to a comment I left, inviting discussion, but before I could respond (as Draco Malvoy) I was blocked again.



Carinus, could you please explain the following:
[Quoting Carinus]: 1. Ek weet nie hoekom enigiemand 'n late entry gekry het nie - MAAR weet dat David tot by Lawrence gegaan het - een ander ou van Gau kon ook laat enter, aangesien sy provinsie iets ge-bungle het....ons werk tans aan 'n voorstel dat late entries tot op die laaste oomblik anvaar kan word, in die toekoms, maar met sekere voorbehoude...

This seems to suggest that late entires are acceptable providing you have approached certain individuals beforehand. That seems fair, obviously, and flexible.
But how is this any different to the Sunblock saga, where van der Leek was refused participation on the grounds that it was late, never mind those in his club and others whom he said he approached beforehand?


Quote: Let the sunshine in.


Carinus (latrinus emmer) responded with:



I attempted to arrange for a meeting between myself and Mr van der Leek, just over 10 days ago.He seemed to indicate a lack in willingness/interest.I can not tell you anything about Mr van der Leek's situation, as I have not been privy to his dealings with CSA, his province or his club(s).By this posting, I again invite him to make contact, so we may meet and hash things into shape.



Thanks,

Carinus


But the moderator (CruxPearl) did this:

Please don't think all people stupid because you're an asshole
Account Suspended!!!!

Carinus ja, you did email me and I emailed you back. But I wasn't convinced that it wasn't just going to be an uitkak parade. You may recall in my email I said:
I don't have a club or license so what would be the point?

Since SA's has passed I would still like to address those individuals at my ex club who have maintained a dodgy silence throughout.

Please email me at
bobthornton.thornton20@gmail.com and perhaps hopefully we can achieve more constructive results than on this domain.



Also got a call last night from Karel and sms to 'stay away or else.' Think the deletions were to cover-up and clean-up some messy moderating that was exposed by my article sent to reporter.co.za. Am going to spend a bit more time on an article to Ohmynews, and see what the Koreans think of this level of forum piracy/sabotage/bias etc.

Think I should just point out that I received no relevant emails today, except from BB saying she was resigning as club secretary.
