I expect a quorum, because we do like to vote. If that doesn't happen I guess all that don't want to see his posts will Marcie? Honestly, I don't expect him to want to stay a member of the group at this point.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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!

Because books.
Okay, I'm confused now -- what are we voting for? To ban, or to inform him of strikes, etc.? I thought we didn't need to vote to ban.
Either way, I support excluding P-C from the community, but I'm not sure which thing we're actually doing now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Right, banning is not a voting issue, but I feel like bypassing our stated procedure should be. In part so that lurkers or others who don't want to post right now but would vote could be included.
Agreed.
So I guess the other question is, what happens if we don't get a quorum? Which is 42 voters.
Are there stats available via the host? Is there a way to get an approximate number for active posters to see if our quorum number is still reasonable?

I am for the ban, but a little uneasy about it being a consensus decision. At the very least we do need to give some time for people in case there may be some who are offline on the weekend.

I went back & did a head count, and more than 42 of us have weighed in on this already. (I stopped counting past 42.) I would expect we'd all vote.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I counted 61 different people weighing in so far.

Okay, thanks.

Make it 62. I just want him off the board one way or another. As he hurt even one of us, he hurt all of us.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My heart is broken. Sunil is an unofficial member of my RL family. But I cannot ignore the voices of those he has hurt. I support the BS consensus.

The revised proposal is here: Dana "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Oct 16, 2016 11:09:08 am PDT
If I remember correctly, and it's three days of discussion, that would mean starting the vote on the 18th.

I'm sorry, Laga. This isn't easy for a lot us us. It brought out my mama bear instincts though. My cubs have been hurt.
