Well I promised I wouldn't get to involved in this discussion and I won't in a
detailed way. I just wanted to say that I have agreed with just about
everything Eric J. has had to say in this discussion.
Certain things have been brought into this discussion that never should have
including anything Matthew has on his site no matter how inappropriate. The
only thing in question here are Matthew's posts which as Eric said can't
physically hurt anyone.
Yes, I have my doubts as to if Matthew can change his ways and I can't say I
would care one way or the other if he was given another chance. I just don't
think we should ostracize someone for having a disgusting graphic on their
site. It is their right and we shouldn't ban him because of, or in part
because of it. We should only look at this in terms of what he posted on
LUGNET and then it is up to Todd to determine if Matthew should be let back in
because to paraphrase Matthew "This is Todd's house and he can do what he
wants".
I realize some of my post does not apply directly to this part of the thread.
I am just posting my feelings about the thread in general and will go back to
reading it for now.
