Thanks, **Tuba**. Hopefully we can just put this whole big mess behind us.

**Vanilla** was using the forum of the Pit to tear into someone. That’s where she broke board policies. It was karma that she was banned in the same manner. (Though, I can understand **TubaDiva’s** post-mortem remorse in using that tactic.)

I’d expect mods and admins to be more reserved in their chastisements in other fora, but when you live by the Pit…

**TubaDiva** , you are such an incredibly thoughtful person. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t have been open to any suggestions.

Initially, I was surprised by the decision, but you have made it all make sense as the background unfolded.

I’m also glad to know that some have contacted the minister.
