As a longtime member of webhostingtalk.com, I am compelled to share the distressing and deeply unfair treatment I experienced at the hands of Andy aka 'Postbox', which has left me profoundly disillusioned.
Throughout my interactions, it became increasingly clear that I was not just dealing with a community leader's standard moderation, but rather, I seemed to be the target of personal biases and possibly unresolved grievances on Andy's part. The hostility and dismissiveness I faced were disproportionate and unwarranted, casting a shadow over my years of positive engagement with the forum.
The communication from Andy was not only condescending and disrespectful but also hinted at a deeper personal vendetta rather than an objective or professional approach. Being unjustly compared to a criminal, without any reasonable opportunity to defend myself or clarify my position, was both shocking and deeply offensive.
This experience has led me to believe that I may have become an unwitting victim of Andy's personal issues, which have no place in the management of a professional forum. It raises serious concerns about the integrity and impartiality of the forum's leadership.
In sharing this, my hope is that it highlights the critical need for fair and unbiased treatment in forum management. A community leader's personal vendettas should never cloud their judgment or lead to the mistreatment of members who have long contributed positively to the forum.
Sincerely,
