I was also banned from safer cliffs,and chockstone on several occasions due to differing opinions
With Neil Monteith infact once he banned me because he thought I'd said something that implicated him with the dangerousness bolting that led to a climbers death.
The situation was that someone wanted more facts on the situation and I made the comment that to get clarification he should contact Neil Monteith, bam! Banned from the site, that particular action by Neil was so unjustified that the site owner mike put me back on with an apology for Neil's actions.
He can be Napolionic in his management but that simply highlights his inappropriate use of power.
I believe the first and most important quality of a moderator is to be bipartisan, his personal take or involvement often precludes his ability to see things clearly, and he abuses his privilege as a result.
