I personally would NOT like to see Chris come back to CCC. However, I know that some people would, perhaps even a significant minority. I have advocated voting on whether someone should be banned...I certainly would support a vote on whether to ban or allow Chris Whittington. Perhaps Chris is that borderline case for which a vote is required. His past conduct is such, however, that I do not believe he should be automatically allowed to rejoin this forum. I do not believe he should be allowed to just walk back in. If he is to return, I think there ought to be a group consensus to allow him, and I would like him to issue a public statement saying that he promises to moderate his own behavior. Roger
