[governance] FW: [IP] Google's Lawyers Work Behind the Scenes : FOR THE RECORD!

[Kerry Brown]

In the interest of fairness I also support an appeal. As Ivar says an appeal will relieve the burden of one person being responsible for this decision. Without knowing all the details I do not know if I support returning the subscriber or not. I do support an appeal to determine if the correct decision was made.

The fact that one list member uses provocative words does not make it impossible for the addressee to do anything other than retort with more provocation. For one, provocative language isn't in itself a personal attack. And if it were indeed a case of personal attack, I believe most list members would call for action by the moderators rather than respond with inappropriate posts.
I trust Sala is responsibly fulfilling her duties in the background, contacting list members directly and warning both provocateurs and the provoked who have gone over the line. Nevertheless, in order to relieve her of the burden of being the sole responsible for a member ban, I support your call for an appeal, McTim.
Best,
Ivar

The pattern is that one person uses provocative words.
People react to those words in like manner.
