Not because you don't share my opinion, anneasquith, but because, in this instance, you appear to expect perfection from a man who is really just a human being, and that means denying his humanity. Everyone makes mistakes but I don't believe people should be condemned for the rest of their lives for them. Furthermore, repeating and ridiculing private conversations that were never intended for other ears and were, quite disgracefully, recorded by stealth isn't nice at all. Think how you'd like it.
Has someone threatened to suspend you? I don't recall seeing that.
