A few weeks ago I delivered an unfortunate faux pas. I unintentionally offended a very fine member of the StR community in my emotional response to a punk of a member who purposefully pushed a button and I took the bait and responded with an unnecessary political remark. I was given a warning only and no banishment but I felt that I had sullied the integrity of the site and placed a self imposed ban for 20 days.

Why am I bothering to mention this? Because the people that give their blood, sweat and tears to make this site as wonderful as it is deserve better. I continue to be impressed with the people who run this site and the members who make this site a constant source of information and entertainment on a daily basis. They make us the worldwide community that we are today. Tom Ziller, Section214, Aykis16, Exhibit G and last but not least rbeigler devote their expertise and personal time and income day after day to the benefit of this membership and the Sacramento Kings. They write and research constantly, they provide interesting and informative content, rally the community, donate to worthwhile causes, they even provide a shop for us members to buy gear.

By not adhering to the sanctity of the rules of decorum I had dismissed their craft and excellence and they deserve better.

I am glad to be back and hope to continue to contribute as best I can
