Personally, I think all slates should be wiped clean. We are grown men/women and need to suck it up, and wipe it clean. I deal with more mature(I know, everyone says it) people in high school.
The power hunger needs to stop, there is no leader, there is no follower.
Although we all have feelings, some will be hurt, throw a band aid over it and join in on the fun.
And yes, this public bashing crap needs to stop. Do it with a freaken PM or an Email, thats why its there. No one cares about he said/she said, look at this IM they sent me, OH MY GOSH THEY CALLED ME POOPIE! Your personal life is your's, don't burden other's with it. Have fun guys, pull it together!
