I was trying to follow your analogy. My apologies that it's not a great one, I raised that same concern in the part of my email you omitted. > My comment was that I'm not part of the "community" of the bar by simply > walking into the bar; not that the bar has to serve me. > > Please try to argue only what's being argued and not what you think you're > reading into my comments. The point I was making is that these lists are more like the bar and the list manager like the bartender. Yes, actions outside of the lists can impact if someone's allowed to participate on these lists. There's, of course, a test of reasonableness and things like disagreements about political views expressed outside of these lists aren't likely to make the CoC feel that someone isn't appropriate for participation, even if a complaint is made, but that doesn't mean that only actions on the list are considered. (note that I'm not part of the CoC, nor core, this is my expression of how I feel things should be, as a member of this community) Thanks! Stephen
