I'm afraid you've misinterpreted my intention here, so let me see if I can clarify things a bit. No matter whether or not someone has been deemed poisonous (to use your term), we should treat them kindly when they choose to leave our community. If they've made the decision to leave, let's let it happen in a graceful manner. Especially as mabassadors, we should always exercise an overriding level of civility, decorum, ... and dare I say self restraint? Instead, I'm reminded of something that happened to me as a kid. Some friends and I built a clubhouse in the forest. After a while, I got bored and frustrated with being part of their club, and announced my intention to leave the club and go build my own clubhouse. As I was leaving, one of the other boys yelled "You can't leave our club, because we're kicking you out before you can leave." In short, I'm not bending over backwards to accommodate poisonous people -- I'm simply asking everyone (myself included) to show a little social maturity in handling a delicate situation. -- Jared Smith Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
