Not entirely true. Chris withdrew his contest out of respect for Todd - which shows that Chris does not respect Todd’s choices in who Todd has elevated to Admin status.

Is it required?

It is required that all other members be respected. Those who have volunteered to give their time and efforts to the better good, especially.

On a more legalistic note, posts by Admins as Admins (using the @lugnet address) should be considered on a level directly below the ToU. If you are warned to not do something by an Admin, then you should heed that warning.

  
  
   I do think there are problems with the rules and their administration by some of the admins. I believe that both are workable while • reenstating the respectful tone that we all used to use.

Was this a group vote? Was it unanimous?

It followed the established process for suspensions. An Admin proposed the suspension with a given amount of time (in this case, indefinite) and another Admin concurred. In the interest of speed, no formal vote was taken.

Then I object again.

Please refer to this post about Lugnet Policies.

The Admin team is not designed to be a democratic entity, rather it’s a ‘reality-check’ mechanism whereby no single person holds absolute decision-making powers.

  
   Chris was not suspended for his actions in a particular ‘issue’ - but for a gross and unacceptable insult to a fellow Lugnet member.

And yet, Admins can insult and berate sarcastically and have no warnings or admonishment of any kind?

I should refer you to this post. Larry has been suspended for his inappropriate actions.

Insults and sarcasm happen all the time. It is when these actions reach such a flagrant level that actions are demanded.

Your objections have been noted. Thank you for your input on this evolving process.
