it pushed Bob's hot button and he kicked Charters off I agree. Additionally, it probably reflects well on SI Bob that he was so offended. It shows that he wants to be thought of as being fair. I have had private conversations with SI Bob in the past and found him to be at least as reasonable as the average SI member. So, I think that he knows that he too is human and made a mistake. I think he will correct it soon. However, as with most things in life, time is of the essence. The longer Charters is held under water and cut off from the breath of fresh air he brought to the SI community, the fainter will be his life signs, and the lower my opinion of SI Bob. I welcome SI Bob's comments on this thread. I think his explanation or quick remedy will strengthen his "Moral authority" and enable him to do his job more effectively. ------------------ In effect we were not altruistically aiding the Bergers, they were known friends and we would have helped any bombed out friend. The Bergers were "in effect" aided. The fact that they "were known friends," does not diminish then fact in any way. ". . . and we would have helped any bombed out friend." This may reveal something about what was important to your family. Maybe its values or empathy for others or sense of commitment or obligation or duty. I don't know. In any case, I'm not as convinced as you that it was not altruistic behavior.
