I think you misunderstood me.
(i've always had difficulty getting my true thoughts across in text, and now will try to add to the misunderstanding

)
In my second post I was NOT really thinking of "Hinerman" specifically.
I was thinking more of people who admit they have done wrong and correct it, NOT people who try to justify their actions & try to deflect blame, or continue wuthout remorse.
(there are a few posts in this thread that admit they used "NEW" ID's)
I was only thinking that a witch hunt of those who REALLY realize they were wrong and admit it would be bad for everyone.
In Regards to "Hinerman":
Even convicted felons who clean up their act should get a second chance.
(though "cleaning up their act" is rare)
I hope that "hinerman" REALLY realizes he was terribly wrong, and if so, that we can respect that accomplishment.
Whether this "rehabilitation" is possible and genuine will be hard to judge.

P.S.
My close friends know i'm the last person to put up with this stuff.
