You're not alone!

My own position is that TB have fixed things themselves - but with Randy having stepped in there is a bit of a question mark over how valid TB's 'fix' is. We really need Randy's specific comments as to whether the motions that TB have passed have been acccepted or not, and his comments generally.

I know the requester personally, and am convinced of her and her daughter's good intentions. Furthermore, I'm convinced that the TalkBoard members all meant well, yet got excoriated ruthlessly for their actions.

I think we need to await Randy's comments before getting into this debate (or even better not getting into this debate!

), but for me the issue was never about either
jan_az or her daughter who I have no doubt have good intentions - it was about the motion as worded which made no reference at all to
jan_az and her daughter.
