Thanks For Doing At Least This Much . . .
I've seen both the 'apology' to the members of the BN and the apology to the BN staff offered in writing by dknowles. I have also seen an overwhelming amount of support for him, in writing, on the BN in the form of blogs and comments. I've even seen the two bloggers the were most offended say, in writing, that they did not report him for any violation and thought banning was a bit more than they would have wanted for him. I've also seen the comments to the BN staff that he made in the heat of debate . . . much, much less than you find on the daily BN fare, I assure you. If the general BN membership can forgive him, why cannot the BN staff? By taking a 'holier than tho' stand on this, I believe you are creating an 'us against you' atmosphere and I will not stay in that situation. We understand what the code of conduct says . . . we are waiting to see how fairly it is interrupted or if you listen to the majority of your members . . .
