Don,

Grady is guilty of nothing.  IVI, on the other hand, is guilty of poor
judgement.  A long drawn out debate will do nothing to enhance IVI's position in
this sorry affair.

Re-instate the man's account under the previous TOS, then issue an apology for
infringing on his free speech rights.  Then we all can get back to what brought
us to a.r.s., or the internet in general.
