It seems to me entirely unreasonable that Kevin Rivette is now denied any access to this forum. The technical points he made in the post that began this thread were interesting and important. I can understand, as I have previously stated, why his post was deleted but to ban further interventions from him seems to me draconian. And apparently, it goes further than that...
Of course, I do not know "the other side of the story", if there is one, but Mr Rivette's knowledge could well be useful to 3 Wheeler owners and to the Morgan Motor Company. Now he is not only banned from posting comments, he cannot even read posts in the site. He has been made an "unperson", as in the old Soviet Union.
A private explanation to him about why, in the understandable view of the site owners, parts of his post were considered unacceptable, perhaps putting him on some kind of informal "probation", would have been a better response. Was that approach tried?
Viewing this matter as an apparently unwanted 'outsider', I would say that the most immoderate person here is one of the moderators, who seems to have what these days are politely termed "personality issues".
