I agree that we shouldn't take drastic actions immediately. I do not 
consider a 6-12 hour silencing in one forum to be drastic, and I think 
actions speak louder than words.

One place I want to stay far away from is getting into an argument with 
the person against whom action was taken.

Sure, it could. That's why there's a backup of (any) two council 
members.

Thanks for your input!
