Every silver lining has a dark cloud. For Ethan Banks that silver lining was passing his CCIE lab, and the dark cloud was being publicly accused of cheating.
Mr. Williams did apologize to Ethan after the event. The blog and its contents were removed from Network World after the events.
With that said, Mr. Williams and Certguard are trying to help the community and it is not an easy job. I think it is a task long overdue.
It is also noticed that Cisco has taken many measures to clean up the act as well and the days of the Paper Puppets might be close to an end.

Not much time has
Prologue:
Not much time has passed since that unfortunate incident. Apparently some of the people who made the comment are no longer employed with the same employer. It seems they may have actually resigned from the role of CertGuard.
A little extreme since the concept of CertGuard itself is a noble one and it seems to have had a credible impact on the certification industry. Certguard did make a dent. Certification Vendors did listen.
The attack on Ethan Banks was a extreme. But it is history now.
Lots of things occurred after this and not all of them are apparent to everyone watching with a bird's eye view of things.
