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 absolutely didn't do it lightly, and he has been contacted with a link to the thread.

Thanks for the links. I'm offline for the day but will review tomorrow.

Why a consensus rather than a vote?

So far all I have found on banning is this:

Consistent demon-like behavior may earn a warning from the Stompy Feet. If you don't listen to the warning, you will be suspended for two months. And if you come back unreformed, you will be banned. Banning is rare and very much a last resort. >[link]

Can I say I think we might be better off voting- not because I think it wouldn't pass, but because I think it sends a strong message that we as a group formally made a decision and took it as seriously as we do other decisions.

I am not going to make any further arguments regarding this, though, because I think it would be derailing.

is there a vote threshold? we are so inactive anymore I don't know we'd reach a #.

Oh, I didn't mean to say that, Dana...you may have heard/read more than I.

It's 42. The voting threshold

well - we proposed, without any fighting preceding it on the board, that we BAN a member we all know - and it has generated 34 posts. 34!

I posted about this on the FB Buffista page and notified a couple ppl on twitter.

I know it hasn't been much time, but think about past issues and how much discussion they brought up.

It's a Saturday night, though. We need to at least give it through the weekend, I think.
