Another person banned by BN - what's going on?
« on: July 03, 2023, 08:38:40 PM »
Another longstanding member of British Naturism has been banned from the members' forum and looks as if he will be expelled from membership. It is David Ross, who has made a short video explaining his treatment by BN, which can be seen here:

David has given permission to pass on this link. It may need to be cut and pasted into a browser as I can't get it to act as a hyperlink here.
There seems to be some sort of witch-hunt going on within BN, silencing anyone who is disapproved of by Mark Bass (BN's President). You know what they say about power.....

Easily found on the University of Sheffield website. No mention of naturism, BN etc.

The Duncan thread is still going.  It is most amusing to see the unintelligent efforts the forum prima donnas are making to capture the moral and intellectual high ground, and to have the last word while accusing others of fanning the flames.  johnrw 's arrogance might be jaw dropping and breath-taking, were I considerably younger and not so cynical; I could just possibly be fooled by his gaslighting techniques.  Insisting that black is white and accusing those who refuse to be cowed of stupidity is his only tactic, and he never deviates from it.  I spent a whole afternoon, some months ago, dissecting a series of his comments in one thread, after he'd twice asserted that I'd missed his point and then told me I was thick, only to find, when I tried to post my lengthy reply, that the thread had been locked.  Bass sent me one of his primary school headmaster type homilies on 'appropriate behaviour' in the forums.  I sent him one of my replies.

Having taken more than fifty years to join BN I'd like to remain a member, however, I'm having doubts about doing so.
