If the focus is on damaging someone's else life that's a whole different ballgame in my book. Plus I'm really tired of those that follow this pattern:
1) Sell yourself as an extremely devout Christian do-gooder by saying things like "all blessings to Jesus, our Lord and savior, etc."
2) Do a series of things over a long period of time deliberately damaging other peoples' lives.
3) Once caught (not before then), ask or expect to be vindicated though a bunch of superficial mea culpas.
I don't buy it, and I don't see that as being harsh or overly punitive. I see it as being a realist. If he earnestly wants to compensate for conning people he can undertake his own self-exile away from this Board/hobby. We are all full up on bad actors in this hobby. There is no need for another casting call in a year.

Well said, James. This guy is so full of shit it’s coming out of his ears. Unfortunately, we are seeing this type of stuff once a month these days. Very unfortunate.
