[ga-full] Re: [Fwd: [ga] [Admin] Restoration of posting rights for Jeff Williams]



Roberto,

Quite, Roberto.

Therefore JW should be reinstated.

According to Harald, there was some complaint of slander, slander uttered by JW of a Mr Cohen, whether Josh, Joe, Jonathan, Benjamin or another is unclear from the context of the particular email.

This is neither proven nor substantiated, although it might well have been if Harald had followed appropriate procedures. Therefore JW should be reinstated.

Should there be a complaint (which I understand there is not) for some offence against list etiquette, then perhaps JW should be suspended. When it is it should be examined carefully.

If you start eliminating people on suspicion they have done something wrong, you soon descend into lynch law, a perversion of justice which can soon be turned round against you.

I agree the principle should be possibly tested in some civil action, rather than burdening you and Harald with the responsibility. One hopes that either JW or his adversary would initiate a resolution.

However, pending such a hypothetical outcome, he should be reinstated as he is not culpable of the offence for which he was suspended.

I am surprised that a man as sophisticated as yourself should balance his reputation oin such a matter.

I am afraid you are missing the point.

The purpose of this list is not to discuss hypothetical or even real
court cases or individual behaviours unrelated to Domain Names issues.
For this purpose, there may be other lists, or other fora.

Whoever wants to continue this argument, or to discuss the behaviour of
other individuals (with or without close or remote involvment with the
DNSO), or continue offending eachother, is most than welcome to move the
 discussion to more appropriate places of his/her choice, and keep this
place for strictly DNSO-related issues.

In case I had to interpret your message as an appeal for the List
Manager decision, please be aware that, as Chair, I consider his
decision fully in order.

Thanks
Roberto
