I can't help but notice that you have not responding to the Grady Ward situation. I think you need to make a statement one way or the other in public. Posting to a.r.s would be the best way. I also can't help but think that your company would be better off abandoning this strange facade that you were in the right when you terminated his account. You can end the controversy by just admitting that you made a mistake, reinstating his account, and offering a simple apology. It only gets bigger if you don't. Scientology duped you, fine, it's not the first time they've done it. Just make it right and nobody will think the worse of you, and it costs you nothing. But to pretend the issue will close quietly is wishful thinking. The bad publicity will simply not die down. You can't wait it out. Scientology has been trying to wait out a.r.s since 1992, and it's now stronger than ever. Have a spine, have some balls, do the right thing and reinstate Grady Ward's account. -- Rod Keller / rkeller@voicenet.com / Irresponsible Publisher Black Hat #1 / Expert of the Toilet / Golden Gate Bridge Club The Lerma Apologist / Merchant of Chaos / Kha Khan countdown: 9 to go Killer Rod / OSA Patsy / Quasi-Scieno / Mental Bully
