I agree and want to express my greatest respect and thanks for those run this forum so well and make it such a great place for us to gather.
I'm all for people respectfully voicing their feelings; for instance, some folks may wish convey their hope that a particular member be given grace and allowed to return. But once that feeling has been respectfully voiced, you have to let it go and move on, regardless of the outcome.
As someone who works in senior management, there is so much information that isn't and can't be shared with the non-management staff, for a variety of very legitimate reasons. As a result, we may not agree with every decision, but we have to remember that we don't know all the facts. Plus, if exceptions are given to some and not others, that gives rise to claims of favoritism.
For those of you who missed it, there has been an update to SMF rules that clearly explains how and why some things are done. I highly recommend that you read it so you are aware of the expectations and can make your choices accordingly.
