Misha - You have no email address! Plus I doubt you need me to point out the obvious.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Also I'm confused by the concept of "she can't seem to follow the rules but we should let her stay anyway."
I think there's some disagreement as to whether "she's mostly incoherent" counts as following the rules or not. Some people clearly think that's a suspendable/bannable offense, while others don't.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
How about the fact that she's serial posting like it's going out of style in several different threads?

I agree the incoherence/serial posting is irritating, but I'm not sure we can warn or ban someone just for being annoying, as it doesn't break any specific rules.

I'm not arguing either way, just pointing out that there's a difference of opinion on the question that might not be completely evident.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
At least for me, the incoherence/serial posting is waaay more annoying than her tendency to rudeness or the statements she's made about gay sex and Christianity.
Maybe so, but being rude is against the rules. Being incoherent ain't.
The serial posting toes the line, but it is starting to feel like spam in there.
And I still think we should give it a few days, if not a week.

Jess, I edited because I'd said kind of the opposite of what I meant. I agree she has to actually break the rules before we can warn her, irritating as that may be.

Oops, I didn't see that, Lyra. (I think I'll let my post stand, since I think they're still valid points, even if it's no longer strictly a reply.)

I agree with Jim that it's not a big deal (ETA:) and that some of the posts around this have verged on bullying.
I agree with you that we need to formalize a process and not go through this every time someone does feel there *is* a deal.
I like having the obvious pointed out to me!

also, there's no rule against serial posting.
