I thought you and everyone else deserve an explanation why you were banned and it seems like we looked the other way regarding sleazy's comment.

The first I heard of any of this was when sleazy icq'd me and posted a link where you were calling him a pedo repeatedly. Naturally, we won't stand for that garbage, so I decided to give you a rest from posting, aka banning. I always felt that after things cooled down, we would bring you back.

Then, later I learned about sleazy's tasteless comment about your child. I don't know the dynamic behind it, because it seems totally out of character. Nevertheless, it is not cool, especially from someone of his stature.

So I contacted sleazy, I did not ask him to apologize, but I did let him know that he cannot do stuff like that. He took it upon himself to make a public apology to you.

Yesterday, I intended to get in to the admin and restore your access, but I have been extremely busy with YE and convention activities. And I forgot last nite (too much egg nog).

Now for a dose of reality, choker. You have all my contact info, WHY didn't you contact me when that comment was made. We are really pressed at this time of year, and we do not read all 7,000 posts a day that are made around here. So for you to reply with a 'pedo' tirade, 'shame on you'. This would have been much better for you if YOU did the right thing in the first place.

So you are not totally innocent in this thing. The choker I know will not crash and burn here over this.

I'm gonna close other threads on this topic so we can keep replies to one thread.
