After reading everything that was posted in the now locked SM thread:

How can you even think for a minute that there is a chance things will calm down? Hell, I'd be livid about those comments if they weren't directed at me. And I'm pissed that I didn't get a chance to respond to those comments which were. (I've been dealing with other issues this week).

I wish I could've put my $.02 and respond to those comments before it was locked. I've got some choice words for some of these so-called "upstanding" and "Supporting" XOC members. They should find them in the PM's I just sent out. I don't think Ian should ban them, but give them a "Grand Wizard" title intead of the "Supporting Member" title they currently sport.

Public Ostracism is a much more fitting punishment for those who wear masks and post in restricted forums to hide their identities and real personalities.
