I for one am interested to see what he says in this apology. We should at least see that before thinking about banning him.
The emphasis on the legal action threat puzzles me. Sure, I know some people just want to get rid of Goober, but I don't think everyone who has brought it up does. It was obviously an empty threat, and they knew it, which is why they all gleefully jumped in, I'm Spartacus style.
But let's not act like he's the only one at fault, whenever he opens his mouth about anything in that part of the forum, someone, often more than one person, beats him over the head with the doomsday thing, and this was no exception. I think he's got the message. It was over three years ago! And with the supremacist thing, he was seriously provoked, though shouldn't have fallen into the trap, but they've been poking the proverbial bear for a long, long time now trying to get this to happen.
So for me it seems best the way things are, no bans for anyone, Goober loses his authority in Gen and Pol disc.
