At the beginning of the thread, the poster with the most recent anecdote had said it occured six months ago. Same poster PMed me later today correcting that to 10-11 months ago. I just got in a few minutes ago, else would have corrected that earlier today. So, the column issue from that standpoint is nullified. That's only one small aspect, however, of how I described his advantage over the victims.

I have various opinions on whether it's good to have his columns here or not. Depends on what day you catch me. On 10/25, I thought it was a great idea. A couple days ago I thought it was a bad idea. Today, I'm completely ambivalent. Subject to change randomly in the future.

Yes, such a content rule on PMs would be ridiculous. I don't think anybody suggested it.

Did you do a background check before you hired him? My point I am trying to get across is it might be a good idea to do one before you hire anybody else to see if they done anything wrong in the past.
