I thought Evercat did a pretty decent job of
establishing a pattern... look at Evercats page for a
sublink.
And... welcome back, Adam

Adam [name omitted for privacy reasons] and I have

some complaints from those who have been most
strongly against him in
the past.
However, at this point in time, I have no objections
to his return,
and would like to reinstate him under the name 'Adam
[name omitted for privacy reasons]'.
The interpersonal courtesies that would be expected
of him at that
point would be the same as expected of anyone. That
is to say, he
would not be on any sort of extra-special probation,
although of
course he should be aware that some people will be
wary of him at
first.
The important thing, to me, is that Adam has
approached this with me
in the right way this time. We've talked it over,
we've talked about
various alternatives, and I feel comfortable with
his sincerity. He's
gone so far as to give me an example of an edit he
would like to make,
and the reasons for it, and it all sounded fine to
me.
The point of this letter is to ask people with
strong objections and
concerns to send them to me, and privately at first
please, because
this type of interpersonal matter is seldom made
better by public
argument. However, and in the interests of
sunshine, if anyone has
any complaints that they feel should be made public,
go ahead with
that if you must. I just think it'd be better if we
cleared things
up quietly and with dignity.
I know this may be a controversial decision, and I
want to make it
carefully and with ample opportunity for people to
express their
views.

P.S. for those concerned about the 'Pizza Puzzle'
connection, please
note that whether or not this user is in fact Adam
(and he has told me
directly that it is not him), PP has not edited
anything in nearly a
month and a half. So that's a problem in the past,
I think.
