For the first time in over a decade I'm getting a bit tired of this endless and destructive ping-pong (dare I say willy-waving?). Trying to clamber out of the various rabbit holes, I think it is time to take a step back and look at the core argument.
The MOD found Tapper and Cook Grossly Negligent. By their own rules, there had to have been no doubt whatsoever in order to reach this assessment. It is clear, even to a simpleton like me, that this criteria was not met. End of story. All the other stuff that has emerged is a sideshow, albeit with some very important issues. There are characters on this forum who choose to discuss the issue in a black or white fashion; innocent or guilty. The reality is far more grey and, by the rules applicable at the time, grey = innocent.
