While that is the truth, I think that there was way too much attacking on
your part going on. Nevertheless, as you said, you were out to prove a
point, and in a sense, thanks to a few people here, we have been able to
look at ourselves.

I would say that on Tuesday night, you needed to be banned because there was
no end in sight. I know that many people were very upset by your comments
(I had some AIM conversations and some phone conversations about it) and at
the very least we all needed some time to cool off. Whether you can show
that you can behave in the future or not is up to you, and whether you can
be accepted here in the future is up to everyone here.

You hit right on, but were your methods too harsh? I think that they were.
But oh well, its water under the bridge now.

The obvious answer is your harsh opinions. Your insult to Jude was just the

institutions within the community which people know and love, and feeling
indignant about it.
Well, lets move on. If you can prove yourself and this discussion goes
well, I probably won't have a problem with you being allowed back into the
community. Still, it all depends on others' feelings here.

| First off I would like to publicly apologize to Jude. I do that more for Jude than I do for me. I killed my emotions a long time ago, so sometimes it's hard to remember that everyone else still feels them. I think the reason I picked Jude and the (...)
