I hope that Yvonne can find it within herself to allow ferrari (and garvin) back to this community. I hope that we all will speak without anger, malice, or mischaracterization on this board going forward.
If there's anything I can do to bring back the old collegial atmosphere, I will do it. Maybe my silence during the fracas was a mistake; maybe I should have tried to de-escalate things directly. I just want the big tent, pro-Stanford people together so that we can all enjoy meet-ups at the Rose Bowl and more.
edit: background--I joined the board sometime in 2003 while I was still an undergrad at Stanford. garvin has been one of the main pillars of CardBoard discussion, online and in person. I do not feel his self-ban in protest was impetuous. The CardBoard is a much poorer place without his contributions.
