You're confusing the agendas of a Task Force to the office hours of
the strategy process as a whole. As stated at:
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_Office_Hours
the goals of these office hours are to answer questions and engage in
discussion. These are not formal meetings, but a designated period
where Philippe and I make ourselves available to interact with people
in real-time. We keep the agenda open, but at the same time, we also
do our best to keep the discussion relevant. And, as with the strategy
process as a whole, we've worked hard to maintain an environment of
constructive, positive discourse.
Removing the ability to raise problems with a suggestion is a great
way to render discourse pointless. It in effect makes a virtue of
[[en:not even wrong]].
The decision to kick geniice off the channel was mine.
You can read
the log to see how the discussion evolved and my explanation for why I
made this decision:

I don't think foundation-l is the appropriate place to discuss these
specific grievances, and I'm happy to continue this discussion on
strategy wiki's Village Pump. That said, I think we have a strong
record for openness and tolerance of all views, as long as the
discussion has remained polite and constructive, and I'm happy to
address any general questions about this here.
You have demonstrated a preparedness to shut down lines of debate you
don't like. This being the case there is no rational reason why I
would chose to raise issues with your actions in places where you were
able to continue to take such actions.
