[ga-abuse] (Fwd) [ga] [ADMIN] Four Week Suspension of Eric Dierker

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

As much as I don't care for Eric's style, I fail to see the reason for 
this ban.  He has a right to express his utter frustration.  Further, 
his alleged insults do not compare to some others, including 
WXW, whether founded in fact or not.

btw, I am not suggesting banning WXW for his mention of Kent 
Crispin's duplicity.  It is fact.

Eric objected strongly to what was said about his "noise" and said 
so.  If this is grounds for banning, then ban all the others who do 
the same.  There will be less noise, few insults and no activity on 
the list.

Subject:        	[ga] [ADMIN] Four Week Suspension of Eric Dierker


The list monitors have decided to suspend Eric Dierker's
posting rights for four weeks, beginning today (Monday,
18 June) until Monday, 16 July.

We have received several complaints about postings by
Eric Dierker; our decision is based on the personal attacks
and insults in
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc07/msg02563.html and
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc07/msg02077.html as well
as the breach of the posting limit on two successive days:

http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc07/msg02625.html
http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc07/msg02626.html

The GA posting rules are laid down in
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-ga-rules.html:

- The messages must be relevant to the business of the GA
- The messages must observe a minimum of decorum, including:
  - Not indulging in personal attacks, insults or slander
  - Not using offensive language
- If the GA Chair or a list monitor asks for a limit to the number
  of posts per person per day, this must be respected
- The size of messages should be kept reasonable (there should be
  a VERY good reason to send a message of more than 10 Kbytes).

The time of the suspension has been doubled since Eric
Dierker has already received a two week suspension in May.
This decision may be appealed to the GA Chair.

Best regards,
/// Alexander (for the list monitors)
