If that really were the case, it would just be an even stronger
argument for disbanding them.
You have to be joking, their actions were 100% what they should have
been: thread was going downhill - they gave a warning - people ignored
it - they acted. If you dont want to adhere to the rules, dont post to
the list.
or would you have preferred that they held a meeting first and
then a focus group and then a coffee morning before trying to stop a
thread descending into anarchy?
The thread descended into anarchy because of the proctors.
No, the threat descended into anarchy because of your opportunistic
nature. Every thread where there is a possibility of getting back at the
Gentoo heirachy you jump in with both feet and pull your coven in with you.
Trying to get back at various people and groups in Gentoo because you
feel embarrassed by your exclusion is no way for an adult to act, this
isn't like carbon trading, you cant offset any good you do with the bad
I cant see it would have gone any different to 1) warning. 2) if
ignored then act
Perhaps if the proctors had discussed things first, they wouldn't have
made two major screwups that resulted in Gentoo losing yet another
developer.
That may have been the case if they acted inappropriately but as I have
said, a warning and then a 24hr cooling off is all that is needed, the
thread would have stopped dead then.
You must start to realise that whenever a touchy subject is brought up
and you intervene the decibel level goes up 10x by virtue of the fact
that the pro-Ciaran and anti-Ciaran groups will immediately jump in with
their voice. If you were really on these lists to help then you would
keep quiet unless it is a 100% technical post so maybe the best idea is
for you to teach yourself when to bite your lip.
