I want to apologize to all the members of this board and to anyone else who may have been in the line of fire for this misguided post. I screwed up!
As for punishment you may flog me in the body part of your choice...or spew your venom in the thread.

You posted in good faith what you quite reasonably thought was video evidence. Later info showed that your photo was not of the suspected rule breaker as I'd commented on that picture thread. Why someone should be castigated for making a good faith investigation and photo work on their own is beyond me, regardless of the fact that it was later revealed to be erroneous. This forum would be near empty if erroneous posts were eliminated.
I have nothing polite to say about those who ripped off you and Patsfans, stealing your photo without attribution.
