There's no legitimate (FPP) reason to ban either Gedanken or myself. Rick asked for evidence, and we produced it.
My only complaint was that the ban threat preceded the reqeust for us to produce evidence. Net etiquette says one should read the whole thread before jumping in and looking like a dork. And if the thread refers to other threads, then read all the threads first. Rick got pre-trigger-happy and if he's an honest man, he knows it, and will probably admit it. I think Rick's an honest man. We'll see in here shortly. Stafford's gaffes should be restored for posterity. It is a significant piece of evidence that defines the man.
Rick knows that. And he looked like a dork. I've done the same thing myself before, so I'm not claiming to be special or anything. Difference is, I don't run around claiming "BAN" before I have taken the time to collect all the information.
