ETA : The only thing we know for sure tonight is that we don't know anything for sure as it hasn't been confirmed by Clay or his team. So at this point we're still allowing the disucssion, if we learn more information, we will reevaluate our position. Also at some point this discussion will have run its course and it will be time to move on. We haven't made any decisions yet, this is a very fluid situation and we're doing the best we can.
Thank you to everyone who has helped keep this discussion respectful and within the TOU and guidelines we set out.
We all came together in support of Clay and in times like this we need to also support each other.
******************************************
Based on the information we currently have available to us, including per ET that this has been confirmed by David Foster's representative, we have decided to allow discussion as follows. If we get new information we will reevaluate our position.
Please read the discussion guidelines before you post.
Please remember the Clayboard is not, nor has it ever been, a free speech board. If you come to this board and post, you are agreeing to do so within
the TOU. If we see blatent violations of these guidelines, repeated violations or arguing with a mod, your ability to post will be immediately suspended for a
week.
Please do not attempt to mod the thread yourself. All thoughts and opinions are welcome as long as expressed within the CB TOU.
Please do not turn this thread into a discussion of whether this thread should be allowed, that decision has already been made by the Clayboard staff.
Please 
let's work together to make this discussion
respectful. 
We don't like to issue warnings, we don't like
to edit posts and we don't like to ban people. We sincerely hope that we won't have to do any of that. 
Please think about your post and reread it before you click the button. Ask
yourself:
Is the content of your post it respectful?
Would you mind if Clay and/or Jaymes read it?
If you're commenting on another's post, would you say it if you were in a face-to-face discussion with that poster in real life?
