Dear Amerix,
Thank you for caring enough to comment and for your suggestion.
Given the delicate nature of this situation I feel we need to give it just a little more time to "air out" - for both / all sides.
Contrary to what might be believed (and certainly what is being written) by Bernard's "fans" this administrative decision and action was not taken lightly nor spuriously, "in the heat of the moment" and certainly Bernard should, if he has any integrity, accept his responsibility for forcing things to this point (and not in a self serving, passive aggressive way)
Yet people need to "vent" and "mourn" and locking the thread will prevent that necessary outlet.
So long as the comments are polite and respectful, falling within the boundaries of our guidelines, we will try to keep this thread open for comments.
But motivated by your suggestion, I will "unsticky" it - the "announcement" aspect of the thread has served its purpose.
Thank you again for your wise suggestion and caring enough to share it.

ps: I've always found it ironic that people LOVE to scream "censorship" and point to phantoms and ghosts when in fact there aren't any - they conveniently ignore or forget the many threads and posts that continue to stand which are not "100% positive and loving" - put more bluntly, which were critical - these many stand and were not deleted or even received a "foul" card warning, because they were presented sincerely, politely, and respectfully.
Yet self appointed fan boys love to feel righteous now when they ignore those and just focus on what they want to see, what rallying cry they want to shout in the flavour issue of the moment - "PuristSPro is now so commercial, they only allow positive comments of praise, they censor negative criticism..."
Yeah, right.
(shaking my head in disappointment)
