I disagree: Message #1468721 If Michel reinstates him, he has to change his policy and it has to apply to everyone. It's interesting that we agree (in our disagreement) ,but perhaps for different reasons. While I agree that dropping an uncut f-bomb is pretty bad, take note that I didn't raise the issue of action against him (and not that Michel is known for providing tons of information, he can verify that I didn't run to him and say, "Mike Beane told me to ____ off!!!")
The bigger issue is that he went to Michel, in the OPEN, and asked for his account to be cut off/banned/whatever. It's one thing to receive medicine on behalf of soemone with the message, "it's for your own good".....it's another to beg for medicine and then ask (via whim) the next day to reverse it. Let him live with his decision for a few months.
