Quote - I understand the sentiment, but I don't think Stan should apologize for being right. I've read his posts. Heck, he's been right more often than wrong. He's helpful and pretty patient with newbies, too. They banned him for no real reason at all. DAZ has proven over and over again in the past couple of years that they don't want folks like Stan hanging around. Makes me sad. I don't post there much at all anymore because I'm not all together sure what speech is permitted and what is forbidden. I have my negative days. I'd hate to find myself banned because I got up on the wrong side of the bed.
Of course, Stan can do what he wants. I just don't think he's done anything to apologize for. My opinion, of course. :)
Books,
Don't get me wrong. I don't think Stan was in the wrong (well, it is now a fact that in this case he was 100% right), but sometimes in order to stay in good standing you have to kowtow.
One of my bosses is more often wrong than right, but in order to keep out of trouble I have to agree with clearly stupid things. Things that are wrong and will simply not work.
Stan was right, but they banned him. Maybe an apology might get him back (even when they should be apologising to him).
