I agree.

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!

Yes, tomorrow night is good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think we should follow our own rules here, and either use our official three strikes standard, or vote to make an exception and ban immediately.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thank you, Jesse.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I suspect that, as Laura says, it is a deeply rooted unconscious issue rather than outright malice, but that doesn't matter. The end result is the same.
Yes. I believe everyone who has shared that Sunil's behavior made them uncomfortable and unsafe, to the point where some people have left the board or drastically curtailed their involvement. The way he's interacted with me, here and on FB (I'm not active on Twitter), has never made me, personally, feel uncomfortable. But my own POV based on our interactions is absolutely NOT relevant when people have been hurt.
Sunil, if you read this: please do the work to do better, to BE better.
I'm fine with a consensus, and with waiting until tomorrow night to allow plenty of time for people to see this and weigh in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My only concern, but it's actually a big concern, with consensing to ban is that we are not following our established procedure and I think voting in this exceptional case is suitable. I volunteer to count votes.
This is not about punishing Polter-Cow or teaching him or anything to do with him, really, except his effect on the board. We need to protect our community, which has been damaged. I kinda feel like I just got told that that twinge in my knee that I thought was just a thing that happened when a storm was coming is actually a tumor. How could I not have noticed?
Except I know many habits and characteristics I have that would let me not notice. I'm so sorry.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Okay, if we're going to follow the voting timeline, how long do we consider the proposal? 3 days? Are all of these details only in the cheesebutt document?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I thought it was said that banning is not listed as a voting issue. Is the issue that there was not other steps first.
Really either way (voting/consensus) I am fine. I am also good with this staying open through end of day Monday and if voting is the decision, I volunteer as tribute to take the votes.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Yeah, we'd basically be voting to skip the three-strikes process and ban immediately.
