Oh, that's a shame   I can understand why, but I think it was good for him to have some people questioning him, even though some considered it anti-Harley.  I hope he finds an outlet that can cope with him in informative and overhyped mode, or he shifts to informative and hyped mode, rather than overhyped, and will probably find many outlets open up. 

Hey Simon, you are probably not the only one who feels this way. Harley is passionate, fun loving and pretty awesome in many ways. This is not about who he is this is as a person, this is about guidelines being constantly stepped outside of. There have been many reminders given for years. Yes this was his thread but, as has been posted, the guidelines are here for everyone and that included Harley. Not for everyone except a chosen few.

I hope you understand.

xoxoxo

I think, that this conclusion is missleading.

It might get satisfaction to antiHarleys, and it might create the falls sense, that people actually know why Harley was banned.
It also can create the precedense for shooting the messenger attitude.

Would be good for forum, if the exact reasons were speled out clearly,

it was not on the count of hugs vs kick in teh arse issue.

the decision to ban Harley has been made - I don't know the reasons behind it and nor do I care to. 

So we can blame the decision and decisionmakers - totally unfair as no-one can understand the whole story.....or we can choose the outcome as being good, bad, or 'just is'....and I'm a 'just is' kinda girl LOL.

One of my favourite Monty Python quotes comes to mind "He's not the Mesiah, he's a very naughty boy"   

take care Harls

the evolution of a thread in Raw Pleasure... LOL...
Harley banned... i was surprised reading among the lines yesterday...
would like to know from Harley personally what happened...
If anyone btw reads among the lines and knows about i'd ask you to e-mail me about (or pm)....
i guess we have the right to know why people have been banned .... not to certainly argue about Jennie,,, just to know..............

LOVE

** I hope the Harley “groupies” don’t take offense, as that is not my intention.

I originally thought that Harley would make an excellent teacher (or as I once joked, a Guru) as he knows a lot.

However, since he told me to give up raw because I would not succeed......JUST......because I questioned him and didn’t want to exactly follow his / Dr Dougs advice, I now view him as more of a dictator. 

You should have called the forum “80 10 10 – as channelled by Harley”

Anyway I am sure he will be back one day, as (what is that expression) you just can’t keep a good dog down.

** P.S. Before I start getting hate mail, I mean this is the nicest possible way ~ I am only teasing.

I've got to say its a real shame....not only for RP but especially for the people who come to this forum searching for the rawpath/life that suits them who appreciate different perspectives & knowledge... isn't that what makes life colourful & exciting? Different views, opinions etc & everyone having the freedom to express them?

Everytime Harley & I used to mail-drop various vegan-friendly/health-improving material he always used to write www.raw-pleasure.com.au on the back....I asked him 'how long have you been doing that?' he said 'for years', he was very methodical about it, not ever forgetting to write it.  My mind boggles at the number of people he has probably put onto this site & the raw lifestyle.

Harley doesn't attack anyone as u can see from his posts but he is a genuine caring person who has a unique (thank god his different!) style.  His message ruffles too many feathers, makes people uncomfortable & worst of all....threatens beliefs (people have been hung for less) his message carries a lot of truth & passion that is misinterpreted as egotistical.  I thought he had a massive ego initially (which is my problem not his) then first hand watched him passionately help so many people on & off the net, no matter who they were they got exactly the same treatment from his heart....it is beautiful to watch & vital to this world which routinely would rather pull high achieving passionate people down (who stray from the herd) & forcibly try to change them & pull them back into line...then to nurture their individuality.  I guess thats pack mentality but we're more conscious than that aren't we???. 

The number of people whom have been emailing Harley in disbelief is amazing & a sure sign of his positive influence. Im quite curious as to what 'rules' he broke too so myself & others can avoid breaking them ??....but come to think of it anymore 'rule-breaking' Im sure is unlikely to happen for most as exile from the herd is the scariest of all....don't dare stray from the pack. Our conditioning & to a certain degree instincts tell us that it will equal pain as unfortunately events like this reinforce this notion by creating fear in one expressing themselves fully......think it but don't ink it. 
Does individuality=censorship?.   

Not many have the courage to march to the beat of their own drum....Harley is such a person.
