This life of FlyerTalk is about what is being posted here, not the what ifs and the left outs. This type of questioning about things that may or may not be part of any private forum discussion does not serve the interest of this forum. Measure the public performance of our Talkboard members, just as we measure the public performance on FlyerTalk of all our members, not their performance elsewhere.

Thanks for understanding.
Randy, in general I agree with you. Indeed, I did not ask for any specifics. I don't want to know the name of the member nor if it happened this week or last year.

I was interested in whether Jenbel had ever made such a motion for one reason only -- she complained that TalkBoard members have never had the opportunity to vote on expelling another member.

She, of course, could have given them that opportunity (assuming that one other member seconded it).

Personally, of course, I hope that there never is such a vote on any TalkBoard member -- but I am no longer a member, never will run for TB again, and thus have very little opportunity to influence that.
