Neal explained his position thoroughly:

It is very obvious who did what, when, how and why.
Regarding the brig and discussion of the brig: The goal of forum suspension is rehabilitation of the member. We want people to belong to this forum. Otherwise, people would be banned outright. Brig discussion is frowned on for two reasons:
1. No appeals for early release. That's the forum policy.
2. If the goal is to rehabilitate members, they should have incentive to return once the suspension is lifted. Talking about a member who is suspended and not able to defend his or herself is not only disrespectful, it actively discourages the member from returning. Personally, I would not want to come back after everyone was talking about me in my absence. I'd be humiliated. So, let's lay off those who cannot respond.
To end, I hope that this is the last thread that I have to lock for awhile. There's been too much of that in the past week.
