See the rules and guidelines: Posters have a right to stay anonymous and others interacting with them should not attempt to "out" them or demand that they identify themselves.
This extends to your attempting to expose who is or is not a coordinator and your probing for a confirm/deny. As far as I can see CB has made no insinuations she might even be a coordinator, but she can speak for herself.
You are now accusing us of censorship and abuse of our positions as coordinators. You have no idea the lengths we go not to abuse our positions. The fact is the coordinators rarely post and generally do not take part in any discussions. In the interest of being as fair and neutral as possible, we try to avoid getting involved with emotionally-laden or polarizing topics. We don't want to be in a position where we might be too emotionally invested in posting. After all, who is supposed to moderate us if we should get out of hand? There is also the problem that people tend to read into personal opinions of individual coordinators and see them as indicative of the site's official stand on something. (The only obvious bias we are not ashamed of hawking is that we are distinctly EX-family, not half-way-in-halfway-out "para-COGs.")
You may be trying to cover your accusations with "it was just a joke." But when you make statements like these, even in jest, and we do not refute them, they risk settling in people's minds as being true. Well, for the record, it's simply not true—you aren't being blocked or censored, and nobody is abusing their position as coordinator to block your posts.
You may have well started yet another series of exFamily-coordinator conspiracy rumors. In future, before you cry "Foul!" may I suggest you keep a copy of what you wrote so you can repost it if something goes wrong? We can normally see if someone tries to post and something went wrong. This time we don't have any raw log records of failed attempts to post or interact. So you should probably check on your end for errors with your computer or Internet transactions.
