FewMiles, You are correct that when you state
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">TB does not oversee the moderators, so I'd imagine this is why svpii said this doesn't really have to do with TalkBoard.</font>
And
skymiler, when you ask
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Where would you suggest ernest may have posted his thread</font>
If one truly feels he/she is being victimized, my suggestion would be to email Randy directly. Posting anywhere on FT, when no one other than Randy is in a position to take action, will predictably yield no results other than discord - IMHO.
At the end of the day, as others have more eloquently written, this is Randy's sandbox. If his actions are not to your liking, you may always exercise your freedom to vacate the premises.
