Donnie, |

In the past you've e-mailed all of us and told us about the situation |
22 |
and the rest of us agreed with your action. In this case, there was no |
23 |
e-mail and more then half of the council members didn't see |
24 |
justification for the ban based on the conversation at hand. While |
25 |
some of the comments at hand were snide, a lot of the confusion was as |
26 |
a result of the language barrier. I know the language barrier has |
27 |
caused a problem for some of us one time or another. In fact, dev-zero |
28 |
and I have had our share of disagreements as a result of the language |
29 |
barrier. At the same time, dev-zero and I have worked together on |
30 |
quite a few projects and had positive experiences together. We decided |
31 |
in the meeting to let emotions cool and toss it to e-mail. If anyone |
32 |
wanted to see igli banned, to send an e-mail to all the council |
33 |
members (it didn't even have to be on the ML) and we'd go from there. |
34 |
To date, no such e-mail has come. The only e-mails are just throwing |
35 |
fuel on a fire which no longer exists. |
