No, not if a GM/Owner is a rational human being I do not. Seriously, if this guy, which by all accounts is a dirtbag of the first order, took accountability (I killed dogs, i'm sorry) but also stated a fact (there are others in the league guilty of , if not worse, crimes of a similar scale) what is there to punish him for? If they're not going to forgive him, that's fine. I could care less. But if you're going to forgive him, then it's over, that's the end of it. To continue going after him for telling the truth is a little disingenuous, especially considering that everyone was initially so upset over the fact that he lied repeatedly about his involvement. Should he only tell the truth in a manner that people want to hear? I don't think that's for anyone else to say. Had he confronted this head on in such a manner initially, i doubt this would have reached the level it did.
