Good to see you back Bill! I missed the whole thing about you being suspended and whatever but Saturday I noticed you were not around and could not find your email anywhere to see what was up.

Bill, I didn't even know that you were gone. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
On a serious note, you are one of my favorite JCF'rs and I am really glad you are back. It's cooler here already.
Welcome back. You and I have taken minor eJabs at one another, but nothing worth noting. That kind of crap just happens on the Internet because words/comments/expressions can be so easily misinterpreted. I have a pretty good idea what caused your suspension and I'm curious, no where in your post do you apologize to the members that don't share your views. Anyway, just something to think about.
As for our differences, I've put some thought into all of this since this whole thing started.
First, I'll say that I have not responded publicly until now because I and the other admins felt that I was way too angry about some of the things that were being said by your supporters. And to be blatantly honest, I'm still quite a bit steamed at a few for their comments.
With that said, I will be the first to admit that it takes a lot for me to forgive and I almost never forget. But I am hoping that the facts of this incident goes to show everyone that while I may have differences with some people on the board, I do have honor and ethics. If I feel that those differences will taint my ability to make a decision for the good of the board, I will voice them to the admins. Then the remaining admins will determine how much weight, if any, my comments will have when they make their decisions.
As for Bill and I, I feel that the difficulty between us is our differences in opinion and the way we voice them. As it is with the entire board, sometimes when it's best to agree to disagree, passion for one's own opinion takes over and that's where the spark finds the can of gasoline.
