By Christopher Boyd -
Foreword: I've not taken care to remove all hint of the Kane proceedings from my walks. I know others have done so, and I respect and understand their decision. To me, it's a goings-on of interest and import, even if it is nasty in every sense of the word. As things have wound down, this will (hopefully) be the last Kane-centric article I post in my walks. If I find something else that presents a new take or is particularly worthwhile, I will include it, but I will refrain from posting any summations or poorly-written diatribes. Throughout the process I've been proud to be a member of our community, as I've felt we discussed and handled the case as responsibly as you could reasonably expect. Thank you.
