Exactly. Drummed from the project in shame, never to be heard from again. ;-)
(In case anyone reading this doesn't get this obscure reference, there was an unfortunate incident which was quickly cleared up regarding WP:OFFICE and some confusions surrounding it, and Erik is of course still a valued member of the community and in fact a member of the board.)
The point is, mistakes are made, errors are reversible, assuming good faith and trying to listen to each other is always better than the alternatives.
Precisely, Jimbo.
And assuming good faith, and asking what the boundaries are before doing something when OFFICE is potentially involved, would seem to be a good course of action, would it not?
