The point to this thread is and has always been Fermis Banning. The actual title was a bit of subterfuge to bring an uncomfortable situation out into the open. You may sweep it under the rug if you wish but it will not soon go away.
The one single event regardless of all rules, discussions etc. was the banning of Hatrack and Fermi. We have asked politely that you reconsider your decision. We have been told that "it just doesn't work that way folks". Inflexible. We have chosen to speak for our friends because perhaps they are too hurt or angry to come begging to you for reconsideration. You voted them off the Island, only you can vote them back on. You can vote my ass off the island for insubordination and it won't make a bit of difference, I'm a newb here anyway. Hell, vote us all off the island and the moderators win! Toys and prizes all around! but no one left to moderate.
Greger, my "doesn't work" comment was not an indication of inflexibility. It was meant to indicate that a person who is banned has to ask for reinstatement, not a group of well-meaning Ranters.
