Hopefully I made it clear that I am not against moderating and certainly appreciate the work the mods do to ensure we can all enjoy the forum. Like Flying whale said though

The counter is that if Dave, or his family members get all uppity (not suggesting this is the case), and throw everyone out for very little reason, then they end up with no friends.

Krela you say:

I agree, people who bleat on about freedom of speech on forums really get on my ****. A forum is set up, generally paid for, and maintained by whoever runs it and the moderators they chose (generally none of whom get paid for doing so),

So because I make a small financial contribution to the costs of this forum does this give me extra rights over those who just come on here as normal members or guests???? I don't think so and nor should it be so. But I do expect that my opinion (provided it is not aggresive, sexist etc etc) should be allowed to stand without fear of moderation because it clashes with the personal views of someone else.

However I think we are digressing from the main thread......... but isn't it good we can discuss these issues and disagree with each other
