Mm-hmm. I agree.
So basically, I'll try to recap (tell me if I'm wrong here):
We don't want the council to seem harsh or mean. The council is *not* intended
to act upon specific posts that don't comply with the T&C, but to discuss
issues that are unsure or unclear.
The .terms group comes to discuss the T&C (ToS?), to ask questions about the
T&C and (?) to talk about specific posts that don't comply with the T&C.
