It seems my "crimes" were;
- To complain about the site not having a privacy policy which would protect my personal data.
- To complain about another member threatening physical violence against me -- the other member is still posting away and appears to have been granted immunity over this because he's American and I'm not.
Both these sites have the advantage of having consistent moderation, a sanity which has been missing from TMP for a while along with the refugees from TMP posting & contactable on it and also no habit of blaming and banning the victim when something does happen. I've already been using them for a while, as "katiel" and can be PMed and so on.
If you're into casual racism, misogyny, your personal data being sold off and having threats made against your life, TMP is still there. But I won't be.
Regular service is going to be resumed in a couple of days when I've recovered from going to Zurich.
Zurich, I found, is a lot like London, except that it's peaceful, clean, tidy, organised and when you look the wrong way when crossing the road (because they drive on the wrong side[1]) the traffic patiently stops instead of just running you over... I'll admit I've not been to a lot of other European cities, but Zurich & its people definitely seemed very nice. Thank you all there for looking after me.
[1]It is the wrong side. We picked a side first... :-)
