We have shown our trust and delegated some of our decisional power to |
| 8 |
a group of devs last summer, by electing them to the council. To me |
| 9 |
that means they have enough authority to take this kind of action. Now |
| 10 |
if we really want to respond to incivility in any way (I hate to call |
| 11 |
that punishment, I'd rather see it as giving an opportunity to cool |
| 12 |
down for some time), we can't afford to wait for the monthly council |
| 13 |
meeting. As, and recent history proves it, the chain reaction is hard |
| 14 |
to stop past a certain temperature. |

Also, the question is: are they willing to do it? |
