As somewhat of an outsider, although an avid reader and occasional 
commenter, I would like to publicly concur with Richard. Thanks for 
making that comment - I think it is justified...

This kind of punishment is more appropriate in a kindergarten than in
this community. Bruce and Matthew are our leaders and I respect their
decision, but I deeply disagree with them.

IMNSHO, so was the behaviour that lead to it!

And others have voiced similar concerns too.  This has been a steep 
learning curve for everyone involved, not least me.  It may turn out 
that I made the wrong decision, or made the decision too early/too late 
and against the wrong parties, etc.   That was why the punishment was 
suspension rather than outright dismissal - it had a clear time-limit on 
it and is easily undoable.

Matt.
