Dear Rosan,
While you might not agree with the Resolution of the List Owners I think
you need to consider that proper process has taken place.
A judgement has been made that yes, Cindy's postings constituted
deception to members of the group.
A sentence was imposed - a Season of Silence.
You might recall that courts of law keep the judgement and the sentence
as separate things. In the case of sentencing, matters of intention etc
are considered. You might not think that the sentence matches the
judgement. You might believe that there should be some kind of Mandatory
outcome - (deception = automatic life-time suspension, for example). The
List Owners took the view that a Season of Silence was appropriate.
A precendent has been set - the Group does NOT agree to the use of false
identities on the list.
Following a recent suggestion that the List Owners might allow people to
engage in deceptive uses of the list it is perhaps required that the
List Owners announce that they will NOT permit, knowingly, any use of
deception on the list for ANY purpose.
If members wish to keep arguing the resolution can they please do so
with the list owners off-list.
