yes, it does seem highly inappropriate.
It's highly innappropriate for the administration team to discuss individual members and their status on the board and how they affect the board? What are we supposed to do all day then, just filter out the spammers?
frankly, i can't believe we keep having these discussions. this is probably at least the third time regarding you, and i know there've been a few times regarding randman and other creationist members.
Lets face it, if we strictly enforce the forum guidelines with temporary or longer term suspensions there would probably be no more than half the people there are currently posting, and I suspect that the creation/ID side would be the worst hit.
If we need to occupy a point somewhere between zero tolerance and complete anarchy we need some discussion to decide what point along that spectrum is most equitable to the membership.
If you think there is a simple solution to this issue that we have all missed on the many iterations in one form or another of this discussion then what is it? In the absence of such a solution we obviously need to revisit these issues from time to time to tune and adjust our policies.
TTFN,
