Nobody has ever - EVER - been banned from ShadowRN for stating their
opinions. In the years since I've been Assistant Fearless Leader, *1*
person has been banned, and that was for repeated violations of netiquette
back in the summer of 1997.

There are problems with the online Shadowrun community, but I don't believe
that the Administration of ShadowRN adds to it - ShadowRN has always had
open and free-wheeling discussion about Shadowrun, and even though most of
us on the Admin team are now freelancers for FASA, I don't think this has
changed.

Please do not mistake the opinion of vocal posters for the opinion of the
list Administration (unless said vocal posters are the list Administration,
but please also recognize that we're all real people with opinions, not
just mindless robots here to run the server). I won't apolgize for Keith's
actions because it's simply not my place to do so, but I'm asking that you
don't look at him and see "ShadowRN", because he's but one member of a very
large list. The same goes for every other member. I'm not ShadowRN. Steve
Kenson isn't ShadowRN. Gurth isn't ShadowRN.

Just to be clear, the Administrative team for ShadowRN is:

Myself - Assistant Fearless Leader
Mark Imbriaco - Fearless Leader
David Buehrer, Gurth, Marc Renouf - GridSec
Dvixen - FAQ Maintainer

Consider yourself free to speak your opinions - within the bounds of the
law and good netiquette - here.

Thank you,
Adam Jury
