I agree with most of your comments except when it comes to the issue of conflict of interest.It should never be allowed on any board in the first place.By giving a known basher the credence in responding to his motivated attacks on Zen is not worth anyone,s time not to mention about the recognition and attentions they they craved and got.It also outlined a prelude to all the negative responses from our board posters.One cannot expect understanding by others when one,s motivation is in question.End of the matter.
