For the record, if Axel hadn't unbanned him, I
would
have... and I support
the banning of him in the first place. Here''s my
reasoning:
Banning/unbanning is largely irrelevant in this
situation, RK certainly isn't coming back any time
soon.
Not sure of this. He seems to be a tough one. He can
cool down
*Banning logged-in users is a temporary emergency
step >and the emergency has passed.
Very true
*Unbanning him in no way says that his behavior is
acceptable, it merely respects our process.
Ah ? Well, if you say so, I believe you
We have no procedure to ban logged-in users for any
specific length of
time. The mandate is in an emergency to protect
vandalism. Once the
vandalism threat is over, there is no rationale to
continue that form of
ban.
Fair.
Though...I am curious...just how many loggued in users
are banned right now ? How long ago was it ?
At this point, the weeks-long consensus that a ban
should (or should
not) occur takes place and then we have our
democratic >solution. Axel did
not show disrespect to people who were insulted, he
showed respect for the
Wikipedia process that we all abide by.
Good, I am glad to hear that.
Democratic implies of course, that everybody has the
chance to weight in.
I disagree with Axel that he never
should have been banned in the first place, that was
an appropriate step to
undertake given the situation. That's just my two
cents.
It certainly was a decision not everybody could agree
on.
