If the board says to Joe Bob Contributor that they are no longer welcome at Fedora related events, projects, mailing lists, etc. it is no where the same as we putting him on a firing line and shooting him. Putting it in such terms does nothing to further the conversation and just sets people's opinions in stone before a conversation can be started. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
