*Sigh* I, too, was quite surprised to see people banned for what appeared to be reasonable behavior (in this case). That said, I wish you'd started w/ a more temperate response, instead of going all nuclear on the proctors. It's likely to create some hard feelings, and that just makes things harder to fix. So, how about using this incident as an opportunity for a calm discussion about the mandate and role of the proctors? The proctors clearly felt that they should shut down this thread _before_ things got out of hand. Perhaps the goal was laudable, but the methods were not? (As an aside, I didn't realize that Roy's e-mail was supposed to be a proctor directive.) Or are people really looking for the proctors to get involved only when behavior is particularly egregious? Is there a way to fix the current system, or should it be chucked entirely, as has been suggested? Well reasoned thoughts and opinions welcome. -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
