"...but perhaps the dust has settled and things look different in hindsight- especially when we're asked to reconsider our thoughts about JVP in hindsight." I'm certainly not going to request for Sanders to come back, but I wouldn't object if he were allowed to come back.
Actually,the threats (however silly) weren't the last straw for Sanders. He had an attack of adult-tourettes's on the UT a few months after that, and then wanted to re-enact a "bridging" involving spelling out JVP's name....that stuff wound up being his final acts here.
