Geez I wasn't going to post here again on this issue but now I feel the need to. Scott A, et all... As I said in my original post #12 above I quote: "I also wanted to ask you to please do the right thing here and not lash out at Ian for what he did. I'm not defending him or what happened but I personally think that in light of what happened today that we all try to do the right thing and start somewhere. I was the one asking for the community to ask Ian nicely to reinstate George's status at the PFO. Banning the PFO or boycotting it or asking EGI to not host him anymore or whatever isn't the solution. The solution is to band together for once towards a common goal." End Quote. As I've told Ian in several site mails back and forth, I don't really know him, the past history or the PFO or Geroge D for that matter. All I was asking for was for us to see beyond the past and reinstate George as a gesture of good will in light of the horror we have all experienced over the last few days. Not for the community to band together to rid ourselves of the PFO or to argue or fight. Like I've told Ian and many others, maybe I'm naive but I see no reason why we all can't co-exsist and just agree to disagree out of respect for those that lost their lives needlessly and for those that are about to go forth and defend our freedoms. I for one will not get into name calling, public lynch mobs or trying to take someone down. These are horrendous times and we need to stick together and not fight amongust ourselves. Today is a day for remembering and a time to reflect and pray for those directly involved. Just my 2 cents. Mark
