Kesh has fabricated the narrative that it's the "gang" against him, but the fact is he's instigated a spat with each individual SEPARATELY! Mainly because as you say, Kesh thinks he has a superpower to decide who is worthy of posting opinions. Hence why he was called the forum nanny.
I don't think most understand or care about how we got here, fair enough, though the double standard here is if they were placed in the predicament it is fairly predictable how they would react. Again, none of those chiming in could actually ignore it if someone started going after them saying their opinions are .... and unworthy of this forum 'so saith Kesh'. Hell just on this thread one guy got so frustrated over a legitimate honest question, i can only imagine if he had to deal with a member telling him his posts ruin the forum. The annoyance seems to stem from those of us who have the balls to fight back when insulted. The advice is, well just back down.
