Perhaps there isn't one.
Larry has commented on the relative informality of proceedings here, and
perhaps most people are just happy to let things go if the person
concerned just says sorry.

Like I said, there are not hard and fast parameters.

Relative being the operative word.

Different people have different points.
This place is Todd's sandpit. Either we abide by his rules, period, or
we go somewhere else. It's Todd's call.
I favour a point negotiated by a group with delegated responsibility for
these issues.

It does seem like you've got an axe to grind here, and frankly, it's
getting boring. I speak as someone who has read all of the thread, but
not commented, because mostly, it just wasn't worth it. It was obvious
quite early that there were several opinions that were never going to be
reconciled. But there is no mediation service here. Or should that be
moderation.

See above.

I suspect that a lot of this could have been sorted out with a short
meeting. One of the problems with this form of communication is that
things get dragged out too long.
Would it be possible to set up something like a moderated .round-table
group where people could take this sort of discussion, and only bring it
back when they've got something constructive to report?
