the list; but that the system did not prevent him from using his original invitation email to add himself back in again after being removed. He did have to add himself back in; however. It was NOT a passive case of still being on the list. Calling that "still invited" is just playing stupid with words. He did not remain invited. Rather, the system was poorly set up so that his old invitation was able to be used to resubscribe after be had been removed It is exactly like someone being invited to a party, then thrown out, and then using their old invitation to get back in. It doesn't mean that they are still invited. It means that the security system did not give adequate protection again someone misrepresenting themselves as still being invited using an old invitation letter. The fact remains that thunderfoot was removed from the list, but that because of administration mistakes he retained the capacity to add himself back in. He had to actively do that. Having done so he's lost a LOT of credibility. Some people apparently still think what he did was okay. People think all kinds of weird things. But that's the extreme. Most folks recognize this was a breach of ethics and reflects poorly on thunderfoot; the disagreements are mostly over whether it was actually illegal to resubscribe in that way; whether the actions of FtB were also unethical; and whether the reaction to his behaviour has been an over-reaction or
