This vague paragraph can be abused to justify censoring pretty much
everything.
Thank you for pointing out yet another undemocratic policy passed by one of
our committees (in this case the Board) against the wishes of a large part
of our community, restricting the usage of a mailing list for its very
purpose: discussion. You can arbitrarily censor any discussion you don't
like without even giving a reason.
well there are a few potential solution to this:
1) try to get rid of this policy
2) use different lists/forums to continue the discussion.
you pick which one is worth to go ahead with. this is not a democracy,
and it has been stated often enough by all people involved, not even
an indirect one.
kind regards,
Rudolf Kastl
That's all I'm going to add to this subthread.
