More important than prestige? Perhaps. More important than losing their venue? Doubt it.
So given that, why *is* it so important to you? What do you stand to gain? And what do you stand to lose?

I do not engage in scare tactics. I expect an apology, or an admission of generalizing the target of this statment, with subsequent indication of who precisely it was directed at.

Quite frankly, I would be sorely dissapointed in any officer who's supposed to represent the members of the ENTIRE REGION to be lenient with a single domain based on circumstance. We do not exist in a Vacuum, and exceptions encourage future violations.

Volatile implies some kind of a flashpoint of consequences. Can you please point it out to us? I don't see it.

You're at least half right.

So you're the representative for the domain now?

Same question I posed to your brother. What will you do if it comes out against Jason?
