Sorry, been watching the history channel and it hit a note with me, not implying anything but to note the principle (yes i have consumed alcohol this evening)
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
Not sure what has happened but ever since the whole bombing debacle the forum seems to have lost something.
i think there may be some underlying issues here ? Just a thought.
Just to play devil advocate, the forum has to keep itself beyond reproach with respect to legal issues such as tax avoidance aka grey market trading. As Deano owns the forum i would imagine he would be held personally responsible for what happens on here, not necessarily right but i would imagine that is how it would play out. If someone is promoting ways to UK members of how to procure cigars that may or may not have the relevant fees and regulations followed then the forum needs to take measures to protect itself for the benefit for all its members.
Now if a heated debate between a member and a mod got out of hand i can understand a banning (understand not necessarily agree).
Just an alcohol fueled idea (always the best i find). Can't there be a clause in the buying/selling/trading rules along the lines of "by buying/selling/trading on this forum the buyer/seller/traders assumes full responsibilities for ensuring all taxes, fees and forms are completed in accordance with the law of relevant countries" Just a thought to let our BOTL across the pond play on an equal footing.
Hmmmmm seems my glass contents has evaporated, how could that have happened? Must remedy at once lol.
