In addition, we are promoting Armando back to Contributing Editor status. Er, re-promoting. We're able to do that because he's not a raving lunatic anymore.
After nearly 3 weeks of delicate and time consuming negotiations, kos and I have reached agreement on my "leave of absence" from daily kos from 2007 to 2011 and kos has agreed to declare that I was never a raving lunatic and that my commenting from 2003 to 2007 was "just a technicality."
As a result, I am not responsible nor accountable for the actions of the account "Armando" for that period.
I now demand apologies from all who have criticized me for the last 9 years.
