But opening up some dirty laundry isn't exactly the best image to be showing off of oneself...
I chuckled at the highlighted contradiction in pronouns a little Also: This. Is. Sparta! (ok ok I'm only here for comic relief)

On a serious note: (I'm not going to comment on if Swando's post belongs in the public domain or not.)

What I am wondering is if FIRST as a whole, or Regional Directors/VCs, should be allowed to pass judgement on something like this. A bad call from the past really doesn't seem like it deems a blacklisted volunteer.

My question is: Unless there's a significant negative effect of a certain person volunteering, is it really, oh hell I'll say the word, "fair" for FIRST to publish someone on a blacklist based on trivial impetus?

Also, I'm curious how you came to this conclusion, Craig. Care to elaborate?
