Dear Longman,
I appealed to the mods to let you and CC et al back in on Tuesday ( http://community.autism.org.uk/discussions/general-discussions/general-chat/people-please-can-you-help-me?page=3#comment-37906 ) because there is a wealth of experience and knowledge that you all bring to the discussions. You have challenged me on issues and we have differences of opinion on things but this would be a dull place without you all.
It seems to me that the moderators do not deserve the castigation that they are receiving. They have made mistakes and they do not have the expertese to deal with all of the issues that arise but I do not think that accusing them of being vindictive is fair on them. They are only human and I suspect that they are liable to take this personally and it is likely to ruin their day in the same way that your day was ruined by being suspended.
Please don't treat this as a rebuke or a criticism, I have no doubt about how this forum is impacting you and have absolutely no desire to add to your woes. Please accept it, in the spirit intended, as a nudge from a friend, who does not think ill of you, to give a bit more thought to the people on the receiving end of some of this.
Sox
