It strikes me that some of you good people take this place _far_ too seriously.

Yes, Michael has said some mean and uncalled for things. Hands up everyone who has never done that.

The response of those who have been 'hurt' strikes me as being somewhat over the top. To _never_ forgive someone, or _never_ trust them again, is a big thing to say. Forever is a long time.

Did Michael cause you long-term physical or emotional scars, or con you out of large amounts of money? Did he do anything that will have a long lasting adverse effect on your life?

If he did, I can understand your anger, if not, forgive the guy! He did wrong and had the guts to admit it in his own name - something which very few people here would do.

Let those without 'cyber-sin' cast the first stone.

If you are really honest with yourselves, I expect to wait a long time before the next reply.
