Exactly. The seller is not being blacklisted from the boards. All this think-of-the-children-ing going into the seller's defense is silly. A deal was reneged upon. The buyer has, according to the rules to which we have all agreed, the clear right to nominate the seller for the PL until the situation is resolved in some fashion.
I'm willing to bet that a private PM between the buyer and seller could find some amicable solution, resulting in a shaking of hands and everyone moving on with their lives.
Unfortunately Rick Starr (or John or whatever his name is) appears unwilling to engage.
