L2 Chairman Tries to Ban Forum Posters o/t

"Mary's Last Act of Defiance?
Mary Gibbons has, in my humble opinion, lost it. Just a few hours ago over on the popular Yellowboard, Mrs Gibbons contacted the moderator of the messageboard with an attempt to ban NINE certain members from posting on the forum.
She emailed in with a complaint that some of the members were 'posting nasty comments' and so were deserving, in her opinion, of an indefinite ban.
In a couple of months which has seen a number of fans protesting vociferously against Gibbons and the 2015 Consortium for their error-prone tenure, Yellowboard has been the focal point with quite a number of members becoming anti-2015.
After the so far unfounded accusations of fans making death threats against Mrs Gibbons, she has now gone over the top with a hurried and frankly incoherent note over on the fans messageboard which states that she wants a ban against the nine certain fans who, in her words, are 'posting mistruths and nasty comments.'
The attempt was rejected.
Because we live with a thing called freedom of speech, Mary. And until somebody actually DOES come out with a nasty comment, or a death threat (which is completely out of order, in all seriousness) then you cannot 'gag' people because you feel like it.
Hopefully this is nothing more than a Last Stand, a last act of defiance by Mrs Gibbons. Because, whatever your opinion on her tenure, this would suggest, in my opinion as always, she has now gone mad."
