I'm tending to side with Mike here.
I remember the RTL instruction scans incident all too well. Matt has glossed
over that, but my recollection (Ka On Lee posted a deja reference to it) was
that anyone that said ANYTHING that suggested that maybe what Matt was about
to do wasn't a completely brilliant idea or who said that maybe BrickShelf
didn't "suck" but actually was a good thing... had the flame turned on them by
Matt.
Nothing has yet convinced me that there has been any fundamental change in
Matt's underlying attitude or propensity to do it again. Yes, RTL isn't here.
Yes I don't believe in prior restraint, but this isn't prior restraint. What
Matt did HERE is bad enough to banish him from HERE, with no offsetting
positive contribution to make up for it (some of our group do tend to flame a
bit but it's lower intensity over longer periods, instead of one fast blast).
Ultimately it's Todd's call. Kudos to him for looking for community
consensus... but it's his call.
