I object. Chris withdrew is contest out of respect for lugnet.

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.
