Hi Bob. Hope you're having a good summer in AK. -- I believe in your topic heading, to forgive and forget, if this person seemed genuinely contrite in his message to you, and if the attitude and behavior are appropriately changed if he is allowed back on. Fishslayer recently started posting on our BB and he got off to a bad start in his first couple of posts. I was aware of the history here, so I e-mailed him stating I believe in second chances and that if he kept his posts about fishing and non-offensive we'd give him only one more chance. So far his only post since was benign. Maybe some forgiveness and some earned acceptance of this person, who wants to belong to something good like this BB, will help better this young man? Time may tell. He did not take my suggestion to change his moniker for a new start. If the members vote is to let him back on he may not be able to shake the image he has created and have a frustrating time, so I hope he would do that for his own good. - That's my 2 cents and 1 vote for another chance. - Steve
