*smile* Ok...... as most of you will OBVIOUSLY recognize, I do not post in
the ng's very often. Maybe once a year, if that! :) So forgive me if I'm not replying to this thread in the "politically correct" spot. :)) I did want to assure you that this matter was taken very seriously and investigated thoroughly by a number of people including myself. I spent hours last night examining 4 separate chat logs of the said instance at AWGate. I then cut and pasted various random excerpts from the logs to check for any inconsistencies. I compared the log submitted by Internal Affairs with 3 other logs of people who were contacted individually and asked to submit them. Other than the individual whispers that varied from the logs submitted, all 3 of the other logs were identical. However, the 4th log submitted by Internal Affairs differed greatly from the other 3, in any text referencing "gays". In the second instance where Internal Affairs claims he was ejected unfairly, the eject logs were examined, and evidence there fully supports the GK ejecting him. This was discussed personally with Internal Affairs, and I believe he understands fully why he was ejected. On one hand, I am sorry that this situation ever took place. On the other hand, I'm looking at it as a valuable opportunity for learning on all sides. :) It has given me the opportunity to remind the Gate Keepers of their precarious position and responsibility, and that they need to choose their words wisely...... as we all should.
