.. in light of what I've read (without seeing the initial post from the cave) it seems a bit harsh.

Can I ask that the cave be allowed to be reformed and that Bwildman be allowed to do it with a clean slate (ie no members, so he can choose who is in or out) and that the person who did take a post (as I've read has done) out of context and distorted it be repremanded for doing so.

I do take it Fencer that the post was not as posted elsewhere unless otherwise informed.
