I know no more than i read in the apology, i never knew or flew with Dolby.
But I think by allowing the posting of the apology by Hitech after such a long time, it implies to me that Hitech feels he is sincere. This also implies a level of forgiveness.
so to me, it appears some time has passed, there is remorse, and forgiveness.
under these conditions I would think a second chance would be warranted.
I think people make stupid spur of the moment decisions sometimes, I also think they are capable of growing and learning from the mistakes they make.
I'm all for second chances.(but usually not 3)
just my opinion take it or leave it.
