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.

You require is completely unreasonable. Good luck enforcing it.

What is required is that people be treated with respect, which is not the same as having respect for them.

Again, I will point out that Larry has been extremely disrespectull in *many* of his posts, including the follow up to the one that got him suspended.

  
  
  
   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.

I know there the policies are and would request that you do not bother to show them to me again.

If Larry was one of the parties involved, then I still object. He should recuse (sp) himself from managing this issue in any way, because he is too personally involved in it.

  
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.

Nope, but all it takes is two to hold all the power. Not much difference.

  
  
   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.

So where is the line? That is the question we’re trying to get answered. It is inconsistantly applied and sometimes it looks like it is abused as a power play. IMHO Larry has been flagrant even if you ignore the canceled post. Just look at his follow up post.

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