I have enjoyed this site for some time. Conversations have been stimulating and a few times I have laughed so hard I have nearly fallen out of my chair.
There has always been a separation of those that have gone through the site's verification process and those that choose not to. I am in the latter group.
Recently I was invited to join a thread the was limited to verified members and I was provided with a link. The link didn't work. Then I was provided with the text of the thread but none of the comments were visible to me, simply a notation of "Closed" and there was no place or method for me to comment. And I noticed that I was listed as a participant in the thread.
I have seen this type of discrimination before. A group claims to include but does so in name only. I had hoped not to see that type of thing anymore but apparently I was wrong. I am sure that as soon as a moderator or administrator sees this thread it will disappear. I have found that those that discriminate do not like the light of truth shined upon them. It seems that many humans have the need to elevate themselves at the expense of others.
I don't know if I will or want to come back. I enjoyed this site and that is no longer the case.
