This is distressing, indeed. I did not know anything about any of this, although I'd heard there were people that avoided F2F encounters, which takes on new meaning in this context. In favor.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I didn't know anything about this either. It's very upsetting to me that people left because of someone here. I want this to be a safe place for people.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
In favor. Technically this is a public space but those should be safe as well. I'm sad we have to deal with this, but we now do and should do so emphatically.

Compassionately intolerant
As far as I'm concerned, I haven't had any problems with him. But I don't feel like those who've had should feel obligated to post any details they don't want to. As a society, I hope we're getting past the point of seeing woman after woman say "This happened to me," and disbelieving them.
Dana speaks for me. I've no need for testimony, you have my consent to ban.
Dana and Beverly speak for me.
I am so sad to hear this, but understand and support the action.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wow, I find Twitter hard to follow, but Dana and Beverly speak for me as well. I don't want people on this board to be uncomfortable F2F or on the board.

Always Anti-fascist!
I have not found a lot of concrete examples, to be fair to him...however, behavior like that is private by nature, and people do tend to do more if they don't face up to their stuff.

Because books.
Yeah, I'm not getting much from the Twitter threads, but I know this is not something anyone here would propose lightly, and I hate the idea that members of this board have left because of one member. And I hate more the idea that someone here has been engaging in any kind of problematic behavior with others.
You have my vote.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I absolutely didn't do it lightly, and he has been contacted with a link to the thread.
