<HTML>Hi Don,
I agree, Ian has no one to blame but himself. Which highlights an important point I feel should be made in order to put events into some sort of perspective.
The GHMB ban on Ian was part of a bigger picture, one involving many other people and a host of wider issues. It had the effect of crystalising matters and became something of a Rubicon in the process. The almost iconic status which has attached itself to his name stands in sharp conrast to his actual contributions to any debate.
I was one of the earliest posters at the IAB site and I must say that Ma'at is everything I ever hoped (vainly as it turned out) the IAB site would become.
In the interests of fairness I am posting this message to Ian's MB so that he should be accorded the right of reply.
Regards,
Derek</HTML>
