Of course, you could go the other way and imposed a timeout/suspension on
every single person that has made infractions on the rules in place (oops
there goes half the membership), from every bit of profanity or insult or
pompous remark. (I’m sure I would get mine then, because I am sure this post
alone could be considered inflammatory to a degree.)

What I don’t understand Janey - is how does anyone see what Chris did as
analogous to what is normally done here on Lugnet? When I read his post, I
don’t see rhetoric, I don’t see criticism, I don’t see anything that could be
construed as constructive at all. I don’t see a plea for change, I don’t see
him raising an important issue to the admins. I see an entire post designed to
hurt someone else. And not just a pot shot - it is a call for other people to
come and hurt him too.
That to me is the big difference. Chris just wants to hurt Larry. Can you show
me someone else who has written a post who’s sole purpose is to do harm? I
think up Marchetti’s infamous reply to Jon. I see this as being on the same
scale. People keep talking about being consistent - I personally can’t see how
this is so inconsistent.

Before anyone freaks that I’m trying to make new rules in a sandbox that
doesnt belong to me, or I’m whining or whatever else you want to claim, keep
in mind, I had the backing of all the admins. in the discussion, except the
one that vetoed me.

I agreed with you because I have enormous respect for you. I personally dislike
the idea of anyone trying to get suspended on purpose. I seriously did not like
it when Jamie Obrien did it, and I didn’t like it when you asked. I have a
difficult time understanding what your protest is about - that is, if it isn’t
directed at me. I was a part of every major decision the Lugnet Admins have
made over the past few months.
If the aim is to get Larry to step down, then I’m going with him. I don’t want
to be on a website where if someone who is so talented, knowledgeable, and
committed is removed just because he is unpopular.

| (...) YAY Dave!!!!!!! Pushed to protest..... I tried earlier to get suspended, I came really really close, but apparently it's not that easy to do. I sent this email to Todd, from which he sent it out to the rest of the admins with my permission. (...) (19 years ago, 4-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX) !!
