No secret, really.

dham would evidently like to ban me from posting in, or even reading this forum, but the Cellar doesn't work that way. Instead he simply deletes posts he doesn't like in this forum, hoping to annoy the poster into going away. Of course he could put up his *own* blog instead of running a forum on The Cellar, and lock out people he doesn't like from the get-go.
I don't intend to start filtering my reading of "View new messages" or responding to threads appearing there, based on which forum they're posted to. If I'm annoyed enough at a post's deletion, or think it's likelty to be anyway, I'll just put a copy over in thread 2091.

The Cellar is not about me, it's about you. A lot of sites that aren't business-driven are ego-driven. Not here. This message and the official History are the only two bits that I really control. I set up the message areas, but if anyone wanted a new area I'd surely create it. Also, you can hate me, it doesn't matter. (I will only respect you more for it.) My goal as a virtual community operator is to do right by the community itself. Disagree with me if you like; I'm often wrong and need to be taught a lesson. Disagreement and honesty are critical to a community's health.
