If he still held that belief - and acted upon it - then he wouldn't have been sanctioned for a comment made 30 years ago, but rather for something he said and did in more recent times. As for sanctioning someone for something they might believe but never acted upon - we don't have "thought crimes", for good reason. I'm tempted to agree with JC that the apology was unnecessary, and had little effect to change the outcome. But it probably helped save his reputation amongst more moderate people, perhaps for whom a lack of comment or apology is considered tantamount to an admission of guilt. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders [email protected] http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
