If the community held a vote, and reached a consensus on what to do (via at
least a 2/3 majority), I would honor the community's decision to remove JW's
posting privileges (to whatever groups were decided upon), if it came down

For the record, however -- and this is only my opinion having followed this
very closely since its inception -- I do think that this has gone on far too
long; that the group has already given JW more than enough chances to shape
up over the past several months; that the group has shown JW extraordinary
levels of kindness and tolerance, only to have it thrown back in the group's
face; that JW has failed to defend his wildly unorthodox approaches; that JW
has done more harm than good to the group and its future; and that there
remains little hope that the situation could anytime soon be ameliorated
without either a magic spell or a drastic measure by the group.
