I tried to stay out of this topic, I really did ...

Obviously I am sure that everyone would agree that hiring and employment
practices should be above board. I assume that the current modus operandi
of Penland is now on the up and up. Boycotting Penland (if it actually had
any hope of working) would therefore punish those now working there.

John originally said that the statue of limitations on this has passed. I
would ask ... why do we have statutes of limitations (and it's not just
about legal laziness)?
As Vince said ... it seems to me that digging up old grudges, and dirt,
and misdemeanors, is, in cases like this, detrimental to both the cause,
and the people who are engaging in it. I know that chewing over the anger
and irritation I feel at old slights and hurts is more stressful to me than
just getting on with life and making sure it doesn't happen again.

I tried not to put my oar in the water on this. I'm with Vince. When we
kids were yakking it up over an issue and wouldn't let it go, my Granma
would tell us: "A stirred turd just smells worse!"
