I'm just as uncomfortable with the "let's sign a petition against the PR action" as I am with the "let's sign a petitition for it" postings. I'm not opposed to PR actions in general; in fact, as a WG chair, I've (successfully) asked my AD to suspend someone's posting privileges. I've also had occasion to warn people that they face such sanctions, most recently today. If someone is being disruptive and won't stop, after repeated warnings, I confess I don't see an alternative. Note that I am not expressing any opinions for or against any specific suggestions. --Steven M.
