>Naomi made a very public apology and at the time, M&A publicly claimed that the matter was dropped. However, it was not.

So they messed up now. "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone."

>>>Everyone's entitled to an opinion, obviously. But I don't agree with yours. As I mentioned in another thread, we (MVPs), as a group, are too much in the public eye to behave irresponsibly. We should be people that the community looks up to, and not only as it pertains to technical issues, but in our behavior and attitudes as well. We're all human, and we all make mistakes, but I wouldn't call vindictiveness a "mistake", it's a character flaw.

>>All humans should reach above vindictiveness. Too few do. Punishing Andy and Marcia for being human and having character flaws is vindictive. What of Naomi's alleged hacking into another site with Andy's user id and password? She is not lily white either. To err is human is not an excuse, it's a lamentation. Both parties are human. IMO things have gone too far when people start calling for Naomi to be made MVP and technically excellent people to be removed.
