K9! is always welcome back here, whether because of being banned from Skeptiko or for any other reason. She adds a lot of value to the community. I was sad to see her leave but she obviously had made up her mind and wasn't willing to be persuaded, so there was really nothing to be done except let her go. 
I do hope she returns, too. Not sure if K9 can regenerate like Dr Who, but here's hoping!

Of course K9 is welcome back. I don't think that she has any beef with any of us and we don't ask for written apologies to reinstate an account. It's up to her.

It's a very dry humor...but at least it's not like that completely incomprehensible British humor? Just what are they doing over there?! [insert appropriate smiley]

Just to be clear, I have no beef either. While she never apologized for casting judgement on a complete stranger's parenting decisions, I simply went my own way after telling her how I felt about things. My point was simply to alert her to the irony of her being "offended" at online behavior and making such a public, high-minded post on the topic while having mud on her own shoes.

One of his guests gave an accurate summing up of AWARE, only for Alex to shout him down and ramble on about Parnia's personal musings and then Van Lommel's. How can you have a serious discussion with someone like that? He makes it impossible to come to any conclusion that's different to his own. Then why listen?
