I'm pretty sure Jazz is smarter than you give him credit for. Stop the
nonsense.

I think the only way to get around talking this in circles is to put
together a formal proposal and put it to a membership vote.

Unfortunately, Sapna, I don't think you have my meaning -
"discrimination", though the word is often used to mean something bad, isn't
inherently bad. It's often quite necessary. Saying people are being
"discriminated against" is rhetoric, therefore, not logic.

What he's saying is that someone who is currently a member needs to
make a formal motion as stated in the bylaw.

To put it more bluntly: If the membership wants it, the board will do it.
Your job is to convince the membership.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. And that's supposed to have
gull acknowledge what? "They started it" hardly helps this discussion.
Not only that, but we all have to take responsibility for our own
actions. Person A's dissmissive attitidue doesn't exactly give person
B carte Blanch to be rude and belittling to C.
From the website.
Cyberspace Communications functions as an online democracy, with
policies set by its users. Formally, we are governed by a board of
directors elected by our members, but we have a tradition of operating
very much by a consensus. Topics are always publicly discussed in the
Co-op conference before being voted on by the board, and the board is
very reluctant to decide on anything until a strong consensus has
emerged in the conference. In addition, any member can call a vote by
the membership on any subject, and the board has no power to overrule
the results of such votes. Changes to the bylaws can only be made by
votes of the membership.
I'm not going to say how many people have been trying to bring this
point across.

Whatever it is, and however it functions, the people who support Grex are
generally pleased with the status quo here, and if those people change
their opinions on the matter, then Grex will change to suit. If you wish
to be a part of that process, or to instigate such change, then you must
be willing to support Grex. Otherwise, you're just blowing smoke.

When has anybody attempted to "stop the discussion", though? Has somebody
put in a response saying "we won't do it, fuck off" or something along those
lines?

Most social organizations are conservative; otherwise they'd
tear themselves apart implementing every idea that came along.
Motivating a change in a political organization requires some
thought and some work, not just a declaration that User X has thought
of this, and clearly it is the superior alternative.
That approach only works if User X is the benevolent dictator
of the group.
