I was not attacking at all. It was something I suggested for her own
good, as a trained professional like a psychiatrist can understand her
problems better and suggest activities which can make her feel better.
This is clearly my personal opinion from observation. I should not have
said she's insane as I have no real idea of what her medical condition
is, or if she needs treatment, and I am not a doctor. I apologize for
that comment, but it was really my opinion.
Kind regards,

Good day to all reading this thread with interest and feeding it with the best intentions.
Carol was at LGM this year and she was not hiding away, at least from what I saw. Anyone could meet her face to face. I had the chance to have a few short conversations with her but being the organiser time has not allowed us to discuss as much as we did in Lyon last year. I am not aware if anybody has discussed with her on the particular subject of her threads on IRC but in any event it would have been of course a nice occasion to do so.
I cannot discuss the reasons of each and everyone talking here in their personal name as I barely show up on IRC on the gimp channel. I believe each has good reasons to express what they feel regarding Carol's behavior. At the same time, I for one feel pretty unconfortable with where this discussion is heading now that it has deviated on medical "diagnostic"... and still being made public. I strongly believe the advice on Carol's condition is completely out of the purpose of this list — of any list, I should say. This is private matter. A public discussion on an archived list is not the same as a kitchen discussion with whoever about whatever or whoever. I am really unconfortable now and I believe I am not alone in this situation.
I suggest to stop this thread and refrain from commenting further on personnal things such as the health of somebody. At the same time, I think that once the heat will be down a few degrees, the case should be discussed among the team on a private channel and preferably including Carol so she can express herself or at least understand what is going on and if exclusion is voted, at the very least the accused person knows exaclty what are the reproaches made to her, from an official point of view, with objective rules that anyone can understand and agree upon. I guess that before getting this far, an official warning should take place. If nothing changes, then a final warning and then, the consequences of being banned from the various gimp channels or monitored or whatever measures the team decides. The incremental consequences of a specific bad behavior should be publicly known. The bad behavior should be clearly identified too, and described. These rules are necessary for any kind of human community.
The gimp officials have to discuss about the facts going on the gimp channels. Nothing less. Nothing more. And take action on these facts, leaving behind any further considerations and suppositions.
I did not intend to offend anybody here. If I did, I apologize in advance.
Peace to everyone.
Louis
