Seriously, though: I am not really the aggrieved party in this. I believe it was Ron Martin who first brought this issue to focus. The individuals who stand to lose the most are the subscribers and visitors of the forums and magazines who are sleighted by recycled material, the editors who lose face, and the professional authors who depend on the originality of their work for their livelihood and reputation.

Will realized (if belatedly) the gravity of his mistake. He recommended that we accept his resignation from AoB and KoB.
However, considering the tremendous amount of work he has done for both forums (and for a long time, to this forum as well), it is unfair to crucify him. Everybody deserves a second (or third) chance (maybe fourth). He is the "Bad Boy of Bonsai", a triple B rating (for those familiar with the bond markets). A unique position, but with a very high price. |
