Reversal of Ban and Public Apology

[Sentinel]

When Pakatan Rakyat formed in Apr 2008, many don’t see the commonality of these coalition parties. However, the alliance raises hope for many Malaysians. It is proven in GE13 when Malaysians endorsed PR with majority vote and that sent shivers down the spine of BN. Both MCA & Gerakan were “shelved” by the Chinese community.

After GE13, tussles within and between the coalition parties cause the fault lines to grow. What more worrying is that there is no sign of reconciliation. If the coalition members ignore the common goals set originally in 2008, this may move to a non-return path which I guess most Malaysians do not want to see this happen.

I hope the coalition will forge together for the sake of this nation and her people. :)

But as you can see there are some people, maybe because of their background, chooses to spin and tell one side of the story and try to create doubts and create a public mistrust... what to do, when one has to stay at home all the time while the wife is out being the breadwinner and with so much time in the hand... so they vent it out on other forumers too...

Sentinel, you know very well we have a rule against arguments in the Forum and you know that making remarks can start an argument in the forum plus the fact that despite not naming anyone, you have just made a personal attack on another Forum member. You know la the consequences

The above post by Sentinel in the dirty-linen thread (http://www.usj.com.my/bulletin/upload/showthread.php?37458-Someone-is-washing-dirty-linen-in-public) was reported to me by someone in the Forum who thought that the comment was directed at him.
When I received that complaint, and having read the post, it appeared to me that indeed Sentinel was posting a personal attack and that being a rule violation, I made the decision to put a temporary ban on Sentinel.

However, Sentinel managed to contact me and denied that it was directed at that person who complained. He told me that it was his intention to poke at a friend of his on the Forum because that was a personal joke they shared. I have contacted his friend and got a confirmation (late last night) to the fact.

As such, I have made a mistake with the ban and now I offer Sentinel a public apology for the action and revoke the ban
