Re: Dr A.
I respectfully request of Admin that Dr. A's suspension be lifted for "time served" with a probationary period equal to his original one month suspension during which he cannot participate in the Showcase.
While I have not discussed this with Dr. A, I also offer my own guarantee of his conduct during that probationary period: I would share any further suspension imposed on him during that time.

He had declined, but apparently it got to the point that he was finding the quality of admin-ship to be bad that something had to be done. So he decided it was "put up or shut up" time, and volunteered to becoming an admin.
Happy to have been of service.

Shoot.
I was just about to explain to "the opossum, Didelphis virginiana"(poor little guy, just trying to do what the dormouse said...) how to process Amanita muscaria to minimize those toxins.
Well, I suppose he can google it.
In the meantime, Adminnemooseus, are YOU going to be there to tell him to sip some OJ, splash his face with cool water, and put on some mellow music?
I hope so.

Re: Respect goes both ways
i think brenna's 3-day suspension was unwarranted.
respect is indeed a two-way street, but tolerance for strong feeling and speech is part of that neighborhood, too.
if the f-word is banned under penalty of suspension, it should be an explicit rule.
if all speech that is not respectful becomes grounds for suspension, half the membership should be suspended at any one time.
frankly, i don't think you would have suspended a male member for the same speech--i think you reacted to YOUR level of disapproval, mediated by your outlook on gender, rather than the objective level of offense.
in general, over-sensitive admins are draining eVc of vitality.
imho, of course.

Just out of curiosity, what makes you think that gender had anything to do with it? I have never had any issues with women at EvC before!
I suppose, in the spirit of science, I could collect and collate data on your gender-specific suspension thresholds, though that would be made difficult by the gender-blind nature of many member IDs. Rather, I relied on my social sense of your past behavior in similar circumstances: I stand by it.
I don't read psychology journals, but I do read people.
Why might I believe what I said on the matter? It's an after the fact example, but still...

To be honest, I may have been a bit biased at Brenn's sassy and brazen responses...
I see. Called any ostensibly male posters "sassy and brazen" lately?

Re: Respect goes both ways
Anecdotal rubbish, Jon--and, even so, no language along the lines of "sassy and brazen."
Now, if he had threatened to spank you, I might consider that data.

Nuggin's naughty bit
I am forced to agree with Nuggin's recent one-day suspension.
Just because someone is being mulishly thick-headed is no excuse for pointing it out.

Nuggin is easily bright enough to figure out a way to point out mulish thick-headedness without calling someone retarded.
It's less direct, but more fun to write.
That's why I agree with the one-day suspension.
But it was fun to write in just my way.
