Oi!

Before this gets any uglier could everyone agree to stop making nasty 
comments and pointing fingers?

One 'bad action' (if it was such) should not merit an indefinite block and 
de-sysoping without discussion.

One 'unwarranted de-sysoping and block' (if it was such) should not merit 
insults about "stupid" and "insane".

Somewhere along the line tempers frayed and questionable action or actions 
were taken. Making more snap judgements and nasty comments can only cause 
the situation to get worse.

I'd like to hear from 'the office' / 'board' / 'Jimbo' / 'Danny' / whoever 
what the rationale behind the initial block / de-sysoping was.
