We are also dealing here with a young man who has had traumatic experiences, not what anyone would call “normal”, before he was 20 years old. On the other end of the scale are two Mormon bishops, men with families and much knowledge and life experience. In their terms, Eric is “a kid”. He’s actually the same age as my youngest son. I don’t see what the problem is to say sorry. I, too, have not agreed with Eric on one main thing, and that was his decision to pursue a lawsuit. I didn’t blast him on the board. I emailed and offered my sincere contrary opinions. You can disagree without becoming an enemy, or inflaming the situation, and without even bringing all the dirty laundry and useless speculation to the board.
I understood Eric's motivation. I
agree that Bob was acting like a jerk. But Bob's
wife didn't do anything to anybody. Why should
she be unnecessarily dragged into MDB politics? She is an innocent victim. There is no reason for her picture to be posted without her consent.
Are you seriously arguing that Eric should have been allowed to keep the avatar? That it shouldn't have been deleted? That he shouldn't have at least been politely asked about it, and respectfully asked to delete it
on his own accord?
