It's amusing when you argue with and insult yourself, but you're 
both wrong.  Your way would force the system to attempt to define 
exactly what can and cannot be removed for cause -- a patently 
impossible task.  The only practical option is to explicitly support 
the existing system of discretion in the hands of those to whom 
responsibility has been given, and back it up with an appeal process 
which frees the system from this burdensome, tedious and seemingly 
endless recrimination.

The backup tapes that were in the Pumpkin are now in my house, for off-site
storage.  I don't know who will do the next back-up, nor when.

I bet one night valerie'll go over to gelinas' house, get him drunk, have sex
with him and steal the tapes.

#146 exactly expresses the problem:  Policies have to assume reasonable
people people behaving reasonably.  Maliciousness such as #146 describes
is not easily controlled.

No, you'd just find something else to carp about.  As you've amply
demonstrated over the past several years.

I'm going to try again:

        An item's author, the person who originally enters an item,
        may remove that item from the system, in its entirety,
        at any time before someone responds to it using a different
        login ID.  After another person has responded, an item may be
        removed only if it violates the general policies of grex or
        of the conference it was entered in, or if it clearly abets
        criminal activity.  Examples of the former include a very
        large item that attempts to fill all available disk space,
        items posted more than once or in several conferences at
        once, repetitive items and items that contain terminal
        escape sequences.  Examples of the latter include items
        that contain social security numbers or credit card numbers.
        These examples are not exhaustive; fair-witnesses and staff
        have discretion to act in the best interests of grex and
        its users in accordance with general policies.

Specific changes, for those tired of close readings:

        1)  specified that the discussion is of removing the item from
            the system.

        2)  Used "violates the general policies . . . " instead of "clear
            and present danger."

I don't have an easy way to test killing linked items, but that's an
implementation issue, not a policy issue. :)

Ok, I'm much more comfortable with that.
I can support this.

I've sent a message to voteadm with response 154 above as the text of
the proposal.  I'd kind of wanted the vote to end at a midnight that Mark
would be able to get to the mailbox the next day, but I guess it really
doesn't matter.

I have not included a remedy for violation in the text because I really
don't consider it necessary:  the remedy to a clear abuse is usually
itself clear.  It's when it's not clear that something is an abuse that
things get muddy.

HUH?!?! The remedy was clear last time and the right thing was not done.
gelinas
response 159 of 235: Mark Unseen   Mar 3 13:40 UTC 2004

No, the remedy was NOT clear.  Some of us are still not convinced the removals
were abuse.  If this proposal is aprroved, future such removals would clearly
be abuse.

It's clear that you guys don't get along, but I've never seen anything
that would indicate to me that Valerie had the right to do what she did.

Joe G. has asked that this be moved to a vote, so the vote is scheduled
to start at midnight tonight.  Voting will end at midnight ten days
later.

Since there's another vote already in progress, frequent voters will
notice that the two-choice menu is back.  If you try to vote on Joe's
proposal before midnight tonight though, you'll see a message that
the polls haven't opened yet.
