Rich, i am not getting into it here but suffice to say that, given teh fact i actually laid out, determined, and ultimately wrote teh rules in teh first place, i would say that i was likely in teh best position of all to say whether or not they were compromised by a members actions wouldnt you say? Good Lord, even Phil agrees he deserved banning and isnt arguing this time.
English law states that ignorance of the law cannot be used as a defense. PassionFord rules follow the same thinking as far as i am concerned.
Silliest thing of all is that people will still be arguing about it long after the ban ends.
