LITS, I don't know if you and Bruno x-posted, but if not, I for one support his advice of dropping it.
This site is hitting home for many posters and they need time to heal. We should give that respect to the students who endured this painful situation.
Firing, suspending,or whatever the outcome will be, there is a student mourning their father, they don't need this additional burden.
All we need to do right now is gather around and support that student. Let him know on a site he may not even be a member on that our thoughts, prayers and wishes are with him always.
