Re: [ga-abuse] [ADMIN] Two Week Suspension of Roeland Meyer

I understand the private email.

>>>>apologies BEFORE or AFTER making a decision.<<<<<

IF it was made BEFORE, I would agree to reconsider. Was it made before?
AFTER, would be very hard on us.

I am only trying to reach some firm grounds rules.

Hi Bruce

I would have forwarded it to you before if I thought it was appropriate.
However, it was private mail to me and I am very reluctant to do that
without consent.  Most interestingly the apology itself was unsolicited - I
didn't ask him to apoologise.

As far as a degree of apology it was to me and not to the complainant and/or
person being insulted or abused.  I think that some of these antagonisms are
so deep that they will never apologise to each other.  Let me say there was
a bit of a rant followed by a simple "I'm sorry".  The apology was later
repeated (another email).

I appreciate that you have made a decision.  My question was to address that
point i.e do we as a group accept apologies BEFORE or AFTER making a
decision.

Do we ask "have you got anything to say?" before imposing sentence.

Best regards
Patrick
