[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 759629, member: 58362"] An awful lot of posts that appear to be polarised by personal allegiances here. In general, there appears to be a lack of understanding of the process. For starters, there is no concept of precedent in citing hearings, so comparisons for other incidents are pointless, furthermore, comparing ban lengths without considering the factors that citing hearings consider (provocation, contrition, previous record) is only going to lead to confusion. I believe that transcripts of the hearings are available from the RWC website. They're a bit lengthy and dry, but I would highly recommend reading transcripts of incidents that you are interested in. Not only will it help you understand why the particular decision was reached, but will improve your understanding of the process in general. [/QUOTE]
