4. I don't usually come here, but I wanted to thank Stinky for making this post

and for the amazing job he does on the MIRT and to express my respect for him.

MIRT is a big group with a tough job and we are learning as a group all the time. Overall, I think the team does an amazing job and working with this team is probably one of the best jobs on DU. But the process is new and we sometimes learn by trial and error.

There is no question that this was an honest mis-step, and Stinky had support from other MIRT members. I don't think anyone could really know what the ramifications might be.

So, I know that I for one have learned something here and I have nothing but deep respect for those that step up to the plate and take responsibility.

Thanks Stinky. And thanks to the ASAH members who approached this so civilly and rationally with the only goal being to get it resolved.
