It's the position of the Board that one of our greater interests is in protecting our membership from the unscrupulous. We are not nor will we judge this or any other individual. But when we see an irrefutable pattern of questionable behavior, our belief is that the membership should have access to that information solely for the purposes of making their own decisions.
If you believe that misrepresentation of products for sale and keeping a 50% deposit on a sale- when the individual is attempting to close that sale, is representative of what you term "being a stand-up guy", then you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. But having followed this saga, it appears you would be the only one holding that belief. However, you most likely have learned what you needed to oknow in order to form this opinion from reading about it on on-line forums. As have others. We won't deny those people the information on which to form their own enlightened opinions before transacting business with this individual.
As far as "dragging this out", it seems that the issue is ongoing and yet to be resolved. As such, it continues to hold some interest to some people. I won't presume to tell people what to be interested in or what to discuss.
