I thought we did that already. Your point is that if someone's behavior
doesn't align with your moral compass, their entire history of expertise
is
erased.

No, but it is certainly suspect.

What is your point? That we don't need moral and ethical standards at
all?
Or that there shouldn't be punitive measures in place for those that cross
over the line?
Should all Lawyers that have been disbarred be allowed to practice again?
Should all Doctors who have had their licenses revoked be allowed to do
the
same?
I simply used Pete Rose in a analogy of sorts and you blew it all out of
proportions and original intent.

I certainly hope you're not involved in the legal profession. You really do
NOT have the mind for such things. Punitive issues are appropriate when
crimes have been committed or professional standards violated. But YOU
suggested that someone's knowledge or expertise are diminished if they
crossed over a certain line, whether that line be moral or legal. That is
absolutely absurd.

You turned it into that. However that wasn't and still isn't my original
point.
