     According to EC member  Mann criticisinfg the party is action detrimental????? "Marratty denounced the party as homophobic while still a member. Is this acceptable behaviour for a member of the party? Is this not behaviour which you would call detrimental to the party's cause"  Mann,  you are not a very democratic are you??? You reject my hand of friendship then deny my right to free speech!!

    So you still think the party is homophobic then? If that is the case why would you want to rejoin?

    Ed you have a completely different view of democracy and free speech to my own. but hey your are the boss – You are on the EC , you have the power to keep me out and you have achieved it.If you and your cdes in Kent branch feel OK with that then OK with me. But I remain confused and disappointed.  My hand in cde ship is there if ever you want to take it up.

    Vin you give me far too much credit and far too little to the other EC members if you think I have any influence on anyone.

     You are a member of the EC and you voted to keep me out of the party and you have achieved that . I will not try again. I will send an email tonite.   I don't need to tell you of my long association/membersip with  this party. As a socialist you will understand there is no where for me to go.I do not intent to go thro' the f rejection again. I have had it turned dow three times.  I am sorry if I have caused you grief but you seem preety strong to me. Had we met face to face it may have been different, we are all working class.

    I will, as Mod 1 suggests, refrain from answering such hurtful, harmful remarks, in the spirit in which they were given."Tag Team"? never been a Hulk Hogan, although played Rugby for 19 years, does that count? Mr EC member? By the way, I do not need to drink and have not tonight, to know when my plonker is being pulled.

    It is of course up to you Vin. But as I'm sure your friends on the EC will advise you the decision is very likely to be overturned. I will continue to argue against. But when the EC met we were only just quorate with a 50% attendance. I certainly wouldn't put money on the vote coming out the same way twice.I won't be back to this thread. At least not until next month. I came to give you my explanation and I have.

    I thought mod had been improved but it is still only used against  ne  comrades. Its in explicable and frankly i am sick of wasting my life trying to understand why.

    EdI take your explanation as given but your power and the power  of Kent branch on the EC  has effectivly disabled socialist activity in the NE of England. Not only have you rejected me but at least six ex-members and sympathaisers have been watching your  undemocratic activity and have probably decided against joining. If you are typical SPGB these days which I dont think you are then religion is our only salvation.
