What’s more important here and what should be up for discussion is the whole concept of joke kicking or punishing people. While the kick of Laced shouldn’t have happened, it’s more important to discuss core issue here. I for many years have been against joke punishments like this and what many staff members do. They aren’t funny, they are just annoying. It’s unprofessional and not productive for a staff to be doing it. The only thing it does is lead to events like this.

In this specific case it was a mistake done by a new donor, that shouldn’t have happened. He knows better and I wouldn’t expect him to do something similar again. Is this worth a demotion, absolutely not.
