[Imc-aotearoa-ed] Re: dk hidden + proposal

[Danyl Strype]

Kia ora koutou,

You are talking about a MAJOR change to the ed policy, one which should
perhaps be ratified at the conference and definitely requires discussion on
imc-aotearoa. Personally I am opposed to banning DK or anybody. Banning is a
blunt instrument and I think the spammer list is a better way of dealing
with overzealous posters.

That said I too have emailed DK. I told him my opposition is contingent on
his manners improving 1000-fold immediately. Let's hope he takes our
warnings seriously.

RnB,
Strypey
