I am SO against this move I almost don't have words to describe how I feel. I haven't read the material under discussion (i.e. "The Wanderer"), nor have a seen enough of Bryan's negative posts to be pointedly annoyed with him -- but I DO SEE that in this case Bryan tried to make coherent criticisms and not just bash the writer of the story. Yes, Bryan might well have found a much nicer way of getting his opinion across -- but I am not sure that tactlessness should equal banishment from CW (and by this I presume you mean that Bryan's site was formerly listed on the CW website and now is not), and I certainly have to question ANYONE's "administrative" right to do such a thing even if CW were a coherently organized group (which I believe it essentially IS NOT and this is one of the reasons I like it). I think anyone choosing to associate with the members of CW should be welcomed regardless of how rough hewn they might be -- if the edges of the person must needs be softened, let us do so by example and not by heavy-handed censoring from "on high." And Nathan, I am not really contesting what you have said about Bryan, but rather what you have averred you may do in this context as administrator of CW (which to my mind is largely a figurehead position). Bryan could use some lessons in socializing better via the internet, but I am not sure I want to throw him out of CW. And I am really not sure that anyone has the authority to do this even if we all wanted it done -- when did this come up for discussion? -- Hop-Frog (the strange)

Why not go tell your friend that they are ugly, or (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) I see very little in the way of Bryan trying to make "coherent criticisms." Most of his post bashes the story and insults the writer. That is NOT the way to conduct oneself, here or anywhere else. (...) But being none-organized group does not (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)

(...) Bryan, Your lack of maturity and continuing negative influence on the community has lead me to remove you from Castle World. If, however, you show a marked change in your behavior, you may be allowed back in. You have continued to break one of (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle.ninja)
