As with all timeouts, Ken's return after the timeout period has expired is
subject to indicating understanding of why the timeout occured, and an agreement
to abide by the ToS. The choice on whether to abide by the ToS is completely up
to Ken, who is welcome back to LUGNET as a contibuting, valuable member of our
community so long as he chooses to abide by the ToS. There is no intent to
refuse him access. Since the choice is Ken's, and no one else can speak on
whether he will agree or not, the "if and when" was technically accurate,
although as you say, it might appear to show a bias that was not intended. Ken
is welcome back after the timeout.
Thanks for letting me clarify that,
Kelly
