I urge all of the Talkboard members to vote for this proposal.... because Talkboard must set a precedent that this type of behavior is not acceptable to a community as a whole....
I disgree and personally don't agree with your logic.

Randy has made his decision and revalidated that decision. Period. There's no need to turn a simple proposal about post counts into a "all-mighty weapon", as you so suggested. Life is too short, just take it easy.@:-)

I still view FT as Randy's board (maybe not technically, but you all know what I mean. ). He's still the MAN. With all the "historical data" you provided, I thought Randy had responded very nicely to you personally ( I also partially quoted below). Context is very important so people don't miss the forest for the trees. Why not just leave this generous man alone?

I really don't live my life worrying about the past. My success as a human is simply measured that i have tried to make good decisions for myself and others - at least 51% of the time.
