No, but I do believe you still ought to be punished for misconduct, even if it’s about “IC” fights over elections, recalls, lawmaking, etc. Which is how I’ve understood NS’s rules for about the past 10 years. I’ve been told quite a few times now that if somebody is flaming somebody else for months, and it started because of “politics,” that it’s ok and not actionable. I think that’s what’s really fucked up, but I guess I’m not a reasonable person.
There’s a difference between heated argument and what then becomes excessive flaming and baiting. TSP certainly has had problems in the past moderating. Many people, including myself, have gone overboard in the past 5+ years. We’ve decided, after getting a lot of official complaints (that you all keep dismissing, by the way), that something needed to change. And no, we were not and are not going to ban anybody for responding to Escade’s and Tim’s behavior during those months. I realize many of you don’t like that.
