NeddySeagoon and Nick Vinson already pointed this out, but let me repeat |
| 11 |
this again: ComRel does not operate like a court. Someone who is subject |
| 12 |
to ComRel punishment does not get to see the evidence or learn who is |
| 13 |
the accuser. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Even if that person later appeals to Council, there is an imbalance. |
| 16 |
There is a "prosecution" (ComRel) and neutral "judges" (Council) but not |
| 17 |
any kind of defense. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
There may be good reasons for all of that, but let's not pretend that |
| 20 |
this is like a court in any way. |

I think it is not necessary to have been subject of action and exhausted |
| 27 |
all possibilities of remedy before one can criticize the rules under |
| 28 |
which ComRel operates, actions of ComRel or their members, or what |
| 29 |
happens in case ComRel does not follow the rules. |
