24 Hour Suspension of Posting Privileges

SLP's posting privileges are suspended for 24 hours.--Percy

To be honest, guideline enforcement is something I struggle with. I believe everyone and their ideas should be treated with respect. That doesn't mean we need to have the decorum of the Supreme Court, but neither should we be like the British Parliament (sorry, Brits ).I appreciate SLP's contributions here and very much hope I haven't offended him, but I was becoming concerned that the repeated negative comments about Fred Williams and JP could erupt into something worse. Not that Fred and JP are blameless, but Fred's barely been here and SLP is bringing his history with Fred here. JP has been here a lot and has walked very close to the line several times, but he's always toned things down when I've issued guideline reminders.I am sure a case can be made that I am enforcing the guidelines inconsistently, and if I have then I apologize to SLP, but I don't believe perfection in this role is possible. I admit up front that I will make mistakes, but I am committed to doing the best job I can in the time I have available.--Percy

SLP's suspension of posting privileges has been extended an additional 24 hours until Thursday, 2/28/2002, at 3 PM for a violation of rule 7 of the guidelines, participation as more than one ID. The SLP2 ID has been deleted and the associated email address placed on the ban list.--Percy
