I've known Revdevil for awhile on here , before he was a super mod . There may be more going on behind the scenes that the mods are just not disclosing to us . I'll say this though even though I've talked to Rev over the years and consider him a friend on here I know if I screwed up and he caught me I'd get the same punishment as anyone else . If his intregrity is being questioned well your barking up the wrong tree ,he's one of the good guys .I'm inclined to think that someone is getting a little extra benefit of the doubt here simply because of claimed military service.
More of a general observation, really. It seems like nearly every poster in the first half of the thread was ready and willing to burn calemerson at the stake, and the comical rush to defend recon was pretty ridiculous after everything shook out. Yet I saw no apologies to calemerson, not one "mea culpa" by any of the quoted posters (I really do hope some of them ignored the OP because they deserve to have a documented reminder of their conclusion-leaping), barely any indication whatsoever that OP had been wronged. Bear in mind that recon is still not banned at this time.
As for "behind the scenes", I'd hope something is going on to act as a permanent resolution short of hoping recon simply stays away out of shame.
