I got an email from him yesterday actually ... my guess is that he is serving out a Flyertalk time-out, though I don't know that for sure ...

Let's stay with the facts, Doc is not on any kind of time-out from FlyerTalk that i am aware of (and i think i'd know). Might be taking an early 7th inning stretch now that Yankeee baseball is almost ready to start. Actually, he may be a Met fan but i hope he can help correct me if i'm wrong about the Yankees.

I hope the irresponsible comments against his contribution have not made him reticent about keeping us abreast of literally everything that is happening. DOC Please come back I miss your posts

Is one allowed to post what the rumour-mill has to say about this or would that be politically incorrect....???

I think I can answer that. This is not a rumor board when it comes to our members. We are kind, compassionate and always interested in their great health, but we won't rumor about them - and I'm here to make sure you don't either. If we all provide the best possible travel information, advice and opinons, no one can resist that. But if you provide something else, even i can resisit that.
Bottom line: I don't want to hear personal rumors on FlyerTalk - which means you don't either. It's my Board and that's my rule.

The fact that we are a community means that there will be gossip and questions. Here is another fact - I wish it were not the case, but doc has not posted here since his posting privileges were reinstated.

Drop what...? Are we going to be gagged on this board? Why are we pretending? PG beat me to it, but if we are so big about this being a community and not just a BBoard, then we must face the facts. Just pretending that all is nice and "the boogie-man" doesnt exist solves nothing.
The facts are that there continues to be unrest on FT. Why...? I will state it again: the unrest is because RULES ARE NOT APPLIED TO ALL MEMBERS EQUALLY. There's your problem.
Doc doesnt post because he feels betrayed. Heck, I was offended by a NJDavid post (which BTW was offensive to many others) and he got away with that. So, what rules apply to which persons?
Randy, judging from your post perhaps you need to be better informed of whats going on. The first thing we need around here is for you, as the owner of the Circus, to know whats going on. Else, you are led by "some" to make uninformed decisions based on their agendas. I guess Im just too stupid to understand what really goes on here, but this is certainly my read of the situation.
We all need to either take this board with a couple of grains of salt, or... if we are gonna get serious, we first need to be sincere and depart from "wonderland".
As you said, Randy, this is your board. Please make a decision.

Kokonutz-- I have more than respect. I have an opinion and my pulse doesnt shake when I must post about it. And, I would ask, why do I suddenly deserve a timeout?

OK, slicky-boy. Fine. You don't deserve a timeout. You deserve banishment.
Your 'opinion' is a violation of the TOS. Remember the TOS? Huh? Do you?
It says you shouldn't call other FTers names, you big doofus. Can't you see that, or are you too busy ripping off third world nations of their precious resources?
Perhaps you can get away with such attitudes in the world of international banking, but this is AMERICA, buddy-boy, and here you show respect or get out.
BTW, Argentina (and Argentine wine) Sucks.
