petition for the return of TE

The Engineer is free *and welcomed and encouraged* to post here to fight the UIGEA as long as he 1) identifies himself as a board member of the PPA

[/ QUOTE ]

This is an internet forum, he can post anonymously if he likes, whether you approve or not

[ QUOTE ]
I hope TE returns, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he didn't

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't see him as the type person who leaves something that can make a difference just because his feelings were hurt.

Perhaps the premise of this thread is wrong.

If it was agreed to simply by mutual agreement for everyone to stop referring to personalities and possible human selfish motives in this exchange of ideas, myself included, then there would be no need for anyone to defend anything but their ideas.

The premise is simple and intended to get enough people posting '+1' or 'signed' or something so that Mason will acknowledge his mistake and apologize. I don't know about TE but if I were to receive such an apology I'd certainly come back. Instead the thread became just another discussion vehicle. Oh well, I hear the PPA forum is picking up a bit recently, I'll be checking it out soon.

I am curious to get a numerical rather than anectdotal idea of how posters feel abot Mason's banning of TE for 3 days. Perhaps Mason is as well. Please vote.

First off, this is what I wrote in the other thread.

As for The Engineer, he needs to understand that posting here is a privledge and not a right. He cannot and it will not be tolerated for him to participate here in an un-respecful and non-professional manner. So to this end he now has been given a three day vacation. I know that some of you will be upset by this, but www.twoplustwo.com is our site and we will run it by the rules that we post and in which everyone, including myself, must abide by.

This is the way it will be. The three days are now up and if TE wants to post here again that decision will be his. This thread is now locked.
