And, staff didn't name Paul in this thread. He posted and askied if his code was covered under that policy. And, he was told that it is.

Whether it was or wasn't (the catalyst) isn't the issue. The manner in which the staff answers such questions, is. If it was his code, say so. If it wasn't, say so. But 2 paragraphs of high-toned rhetoric that is dismissive of the question as "not relevant" doesn't answer the question.

As the staff meets to discuss ways to improve the site and research/resolve the causes of the recent tension, I'd hope that "Staff Responses/Professionalism" be on the agenda, with this thread being a case-in-point.

I don't have much more to say, so will back quietly away from this discussion now.
