Thanks once again, Randy!

Are you unofficially hanging out the "Help Wanted" sign?

"...I truly do believe that all of us on board are mature and generous enough to make certain that in the future, we conduct ourselves in a civil and enabling manner on line. We most assuredly do not wish to repay your generosity in providing us this space with petty confrontations that cause you frustration and waste your time..."

Absolutely 100% agreed! Boldface added for emphasis to ALL!

In addition to ".....(FILL IN BLANK)" there are countless others who have/had multiple undisclosed identities used as "attack handles" yet fess up & be claimed!

From among the many, how about these?

cod
quack
Dr Pfp
Doctor PfP
Reverend PfP
Miss PfP
Karl Stevens

And it goes on, and on, and on...ad naseum!

Are these handles and their posts acceptable? Is the "intent" here acceptable? Is it okay that they sometimes attacked innocent people? That they falsely accused others? Are they each representative of the "good spirit" of the board?

I think not, as I'd stated previously!

Let's forget each of these and ALL the others? Or are they just the next distraction?

And how about FT'ers who posted in favor of these "identities?" And the FT'ers who stood idly by and did nothing but laugh and cared little as they watched "civility" become a relic of the past? How far will we all go with this? Really?

And FAR more importantly, will a lasting peace EVER come to FT ?

The execution of ones' apology was NOT perfect, IMHO, & not even close in the eyes of some. They'd admit that themself! So what? They stepped forward and essentially admitted to multiple handles & that it was wrong & that they're sorry! More than some others! And no doubt very humbling & difficult to do!

How contrite must one actually be? I don't know! How will we each ever know what's in ones heart and mind? Shall we resort to sworn statements or lie detector tests? Or both? What?

Even if we each are unwilling to remove the plank from our own eye, it should be incumbent upon each of us individually at some point to take an apology offered for whatever it's worth to each of us and just move on for the collective good!

Let's ALL now please look at the "bigger" picture here, kindly give some consideration to moving ahead and bury the hatchet forever!

Time is a wastin'!
