As long as this thread remains to be an outlet for discussion and not for bashing, I also believe it's a really good thing. Until what happened with Red happened, I thought that the chatroom and the Forums were completely and totally separate, based on the information I had. But after Red had her issue in chat, I learned that as a rule, if one is banned from chat, then one can be banned from the Forums. Ok, that right there implies to me that chat and Forums are not as separate as I first believed. And if one can get banned from Library chat because an opinion expressed on an entirely different site simply pisses off the powers that be, well, members here in the Forums ought to at least be aware of what can happen.

I have never seen censorship or flaming encouraged nor allowed here in the Forums- something I greatly appreciate and am thankful for. I have witnessed it for myself in the chatroom, which is why I rarely ever went in. I won't go in at all now after the injustice done to Red.

Thank you Psynymph for pointing out what needed to be pointed out. Thank you, cariad, for allowing this discussion to take place.
