Let’s get the entire quotation--

Bush made the decision to invade Iraq. No further scrutiny needed.
Not that I’m one for ‘low blows’, but Lenny, are you listening to what

The idea, if it’s not already obvious, was that decisions made can, and
should be revisited if there are issues with those decisions, instead of the
unilateral “I am not going to discuss this anymore”. You’re a leader (or you
were at the time of the post)--decisions without explanations from your
position of authority will be the downfall of LUGNET.
If someone is going to be an admin, or a leader in any regard, the ability to
revisit decisions as needed is a necessity. And explaining decisions is a
requirement--“I’m not going to discuss it anymore”? You’d better be prepared
to discuss it more, for the decision was wrong.
You (the admin staff), bottom line, banned Chris over something that happened
outside of LUGNET. I’m sorry, but that issue at the time wasn’t resolved and
the decision had to be revisited. Not for my sake, but for the sake of
LUGNET. If we start banning people at LUGNET for stuff that happenes outside
of LUGNET, then when do we start monitoring e-mails? AIM? Heck, show up at
an rtl dinner and take notes and ban the lot of us!
If we want LUGNET to be a great place to be, for everyone to enjoy, then
transparancy from the admins is absolutely required--none of this ‘high
office and the peons can’t know anything’ stuff.
At least that’s how I see it.

I find myself agreeing with this completely.
I have had discussions about this with some other people on this and I was told
that there was a personal story behind that particular decision. LUGNET
decisions should not be based on personal stories or situations...that’s why
there are rules! Anything less can and will disenfranchise people.
Transparency breeds trust, and this needs to be realized.
