So basically you say that OTW isn't a public forum, so the CoC doesn't |
| 15 |
apply to it and nothing needs to change? |

I had really hoped that the moderators team would acknowledge that the |
| 18 |
current state of affairs with OTW is unacceptable, and come up with some |
| 19 |
plan of their own how to improve things. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If neither of these two things are going to happen, then it won't be |
| 22 |
difficult to predict that the Council will close down OTW sooner or |
| 23 |
later. |

Such unproven allegations aren't helpful. If I should have violated the |
| 39 |
CoC in any ML posting, then please point out that concrete posting or |
| 40 |
report me to ComRel. |
