So, to recap:
  1. Patrick Henry's homepage mysteriously disappears back in March.
  2. He and several others ask the mods & Jim Robinson what happened, thinking maybe it was either a software glitch, another member who had decided to break into his account & do some petty vandalism, or a rogue mod who decided to break into his account & do some petty vandalism.
  3. Patrick Henry restores his homepage, which soon disappears again.
  4. Again he & others ask the management of this website to look into the mysterious vandalism.
  5. No response from management.
  6. Now it's revealed that it was Jim Robinson himself who decided to secretly vandalize Patrick Henry's homepage, and to sit back and not say anything about it, but rather watch the little pissant members scurry around wondering what the hell happened and why the management of the world's premier conservative website aren't saying anything. Instead of doing something more professional, accountable and adult like warning/suspending/banning him and/or us.
  7. All this while, Jim Robinson was happily cashing Patrick Henry's quarterly checks.
  8. Now Jim Robinson wants us to know of his courageous action, while at the same time feigning ignorance of the whole incident.

IMO, this is the kind of professional, responsible management that we need to see more of at prominent conservative websites.

GIVE 'EM HELL, JIMROB! WOO HOO!!!

The mods don't have access to the posters' profile pages. I do. And I've removed a few of them. Those that I have removed should take it as a warning (if I didn't ban them in the process).

Are you saying that you're the one who kept deleting PatrickHenry's homepage back in (March, IIRC)?

Yup.

I see. And so when he and several of us asked what the heck was going on - i.e. was this just a weird software glitch, or had some other member broken into PH's account to do a little vandalism, or had some petty tyrant mod or other PTB decided to up and rip down a member's homepage, or what, it was you who decided not to say word one?

Actually, I only vaguely remember the incident. Chances are, I probably had them all on ignore which is probably better than banning the whole lot.

Wasn't mysterious and wasn't vandalism. I sometimes pull posts. I sometimes pull profile pages. It's part of the job. Whether or not a poster is a donor doesn't enter into my moderating decisions. Like the man said, it happens.

So, what's the big issue anyway? PH's mysteriously disappearing homepage keeps popping up on other evos homepages anyway. It's not gone, just relocated in many different spots. I wonder why that was never mentioned?

Umm, never mind about PH's homepage clones, I see lots of white these days.
