That is puerile nonsense. The aim of the site justifies its existence. If its aims are nothing to do with its readers, is it not pointless?
Perhaps you can tell us all what the aims of this site are and how you personally contribute to its aims and what specific role TDO has given you in achieving those aims? TDO was not set up to pursue any particular aims, the administrators have a view that there should be equality in the workplace and just like anyone else, they are active enough to promote those beliefs. Just because someone holds a different view than yourself, does not mean that your view is necessarily the moral one?

This site promotes equality for all and that includes both the Taxi and Private hire trades. That is a highly debatable claim since it does not promote those who support numerical restriction.
I said this site supports equality for all, that means you can debate and say anything you like as long as you stay within the rules, no one on here will gag you from voicing an opinion on any subject you wish and that includes numerical numbers. I think you should know by now, that TDO supports equality in the workplace and that includes the Taxi trade. You should also know that inequality doesn't sit well with TDO, if you want inequality there are plenty of taxi websites on the Internet that will cater for your needs.

No one twists your arm to come here and read the content or post a message. You do that of your own free will. However while you are here you are expected to behave responsibly as an adult, if your sole intention is to bring this site into disrepute then I'm afraid your stay will be a short one. TDO is probably the most tolerant Taxi forum on the Internet so it might be wise to reflect on that. Whilst I agree with the general sentiment expressed here, I find the hint that my motives are questionable offensive. I would also suggest that you re-read some of Ali T's and skull's posts and their vulgar content, which you seem to find acceptable.
I don't recall either of those two nicks you mentioned ever suggesting that TDO or myself had read other peoples private messages. Mr Cabforce was far more vulgar, abusive and intolerable than any present subscriber on TDO. You will no doubt notice that he was given every opportunity to substantiate his claims and it wasn't until after he had done all the things and more that you accuse others of doing that he was given a red card.
I find it amusing when people say they want nothing to do with TDO yet they can't keep away from the place. Either the level of debate over there is bordering on infantile, or they are all fed up of patting each other on the back and agreeing with each other. It must be quite mundane having no one to point out the inaccuracies in their arguments?

Your pal was hit with an ASBO because he was also asked to reflect on his comments and apologise, or produce the evidence to support his accusations that Dusty and myself had been reading Private message. He did neither. Point of order he is not my "pal" as you claim. I do happen to know him, that's all. My reading of the posts was that he had noticed pm's going astray and, reading that they could be manipulated, grasped that as a solution.
Well your reading of the situation was wrong and I don't buy in to your theory that you thought his accusations were innocent. His intentions were quite obvious and I doubt your comments of support for that fellow will find much sympathy on here.

Dusty still gave him a chance to redeem himself but he was so intent on causing disruption that he had to go. Just for you benefit we do know whom the character is, so just bear that in mind. Right, John, if you have conducted your own research into his identity, I might believe that you know who he is. Just as I have sought your ID and found out that you reside near Oakfield Road and you are south of Manchester. I will not reveal further details, since I have no desire to make you feel threatened in any way, only to prove to you how thorough my research was. A pm would be better should you wish to discuss this identy topic further. Remember that Skull and co have their own agenda and if you have relied on them for info, check it very carefully!!!
It is most encouraging that you think you know that I live near Oakfield road but you probably realise that there are some other gentlemen who once thought I worked on Fountain Street and look what happened to them? It should be known that your friends have been running around like headless chickens for over two years trying to find out what you have found out. What makes you so sure that you haven't just proved yourself to be yet another headless chicken?
I am sure there are many subscribers on TDO, who won't mind debating with you on any subject, as long as you behave like an adult.
