Rick,
You said:
The volumes of explanation Greg Stafford has offered after the uproar has more than demonstrated his good faith effort to, not admit guilt which he personally believed wasn't the case, but offer an apologia. This was in the form of several posts, in what I personally believe is a good faith attempt to make clear the grounds for the course he took, and what he perceived happened that lead to his mistake.
GS extremely verbose apptempts of "explanations" in true Brooklyn style didn't explain anything. Unless of course you are a devoted WT and GS fan and used to buy the totally lame and ridiculous tripe coming out of Brooklyn. All GS have accomplished is to enhance his dishonesty and show himself to be at least as arrogant as his buddies in the GB. Like them he doesn't take kindly to people who don't immediately buy his hopeless drivel.
You should know by now that we don't fall for that kind of tactics here. GS has demonstrated his true self for us and it wasn't pretty. Anyway, he might change and start on the road to become an honest and upright person, so his continued presense here should of course be welcomed.
If he chooses to continue his present typical course of all JW apologists, of dodging, sidestepping and weasel his way out of answering difficult questions, he will in the end stand as "naked" before us as so many of his predecessors. You should know by now Rick that it is impossible to defend the undefendable.
Norm.
