[ga-abuse] Re: Warning from the list monitors to Dave Crocker

Kristy,

Because you are acting in an official capacity, these exchanges need to be 
accountable.  That is why I am cc'ing ga-abuse, as should you.

If you are going to attempt an analogy, make it one that fits the 
circumstances.

If someone is repeatedly striking you with their fists, would you refuse to 
defend yourself?

The answer, of course, is that pacifism is an established and honored 
perspective and that some people, in fact, would NOT defend themselves.

However we do not penalize those who DO defend themselves.

A formal warning is not simply a request to follow the rules.
