I asked this privately by notifying on the ban message, but got no reply, so I ask again.

I, too, would appreciate a discussion of how the decision was reached. I missed the deleted commentary, and it seems many respectful regular posters were surprised by the chain of events. I think it would be in the interest of fostering a respectful dialogue on the forum to open up a participative, transparent discussion about what transpired.

What is to give light must endure burning.
