But God forbid that someone point out that "facts" presented in a
discussion are not verified and may in fact be totally fabricated.

While the appeal appears to have fallen on deaf ears, I am at least
heartened to know that, with the 2 sole exceptions, the comments about
Harald's actions have been overwhelming critical of him.  The decision
was wrong, and while it appears that the appeal is not being
considered, I at least know that my fellow GA members agree with that
conclusion.
