Regarding #65; No, not as in the Picospan retire command. I meant retire
in the sense that the items (or, rather, the responses) are currently gone.
And I think that you should take the responsibility of asking whomever you
feel is appropriate for permission to scribble their responses.
If jp2 is the only person who wants his comments restored, I'm willing to
bet the result will be pretty obscure; certainly so much so that no harm
from its existance on grex could befall you or your son. And yes, nothing
would be put back in place until all responses which are going to be
scribbled are.

Re 67. I agree and also endorse a "yes" vote on this as a means of
granting an exception in an exceptional situation.

You agree with disingenously complicating argued issues to win?

I posted in these items, I would like my posts restored. I believe I posted
in good faith that the only one who would ever remove or alter my words, would
be me. I think granting JEP an exception would only show that staff is more
concerned with his rights than with the rights of every other user. It won't
kill JEP to have to go back and scribble his own posts in those items. It
is what he should have done in the first place instead of asking Valerie to
delete the items entirely.
I would ask that if staff does not restore these items, that they make the
original text of the item available by email to all those who participated
in the items, so that they may make a decision on their own as to whether to
re-post their words, only their words, in another item or another conference.
I believe that had proper notice been given that these items were to be
deleted, we'd have had the opportunity to copy our posts in those items and
save them, or re-post them in a different context.

In fact why not vote that staff restore the items, but agree to give JEP
private notice that the restoral has taken place, before the rest of us are
told about it, so he has a period of time to go scribble all his posts? How
long could it possibly take for JEP to scribble his posts in those items
anyway?

re 75 The way GreXers complicate issues is quite ingenious, I'd have to say.

Staff happens to have other important things to do besides undelete items or
mail copies of them to people.

And yet, they answer your elementary questions in the system problems' item,
every day. Figure that.

re resp:77: Why don't you enter a member proposal to that effect,
Richard? Then if this one fails, that one might take effect. Maybe
that one would take precedence; I don't know.
This item is about my proposal, which I am not going to alter in the
way that you suggest.

In that case, your proposal will fail. Plain and simple.

An extremely small number of voices have been heard from in this item.
I don't think you have any basis for you opinion.

(Lots of people respond in the Systems Problems item. Very few of them are
staff members.)

I will be asking the members of Grex to help me, and I think they will
respond favorably to a request like that.

re 85 Then clearly they should become staff, since they're doing the staff's
job.

What needs to happen to bring this proposal to a vote? I am not
familiar with the procedure.
Thanks!

item:coop,2 By-laws:
ARTICLE 5: VOTING PROCEDURES
a. Any member of Grex may make a motion by entering it as the
text of a discussion item in a computer conference on Grex
designated for this purpose. The item is then used for
discussion of the motion. All Grex users may participate in
the discussion. No action on the motion is taken for two
weeks. At the end of two weeks, the author may then submit a
final version for a vote by the membership. The vote is
conducted on-line over a period of ten days.
b. A motion will be considered to have passed if more
votes were cast in favor than against, except as provided
for bylaw amendments.
c. For voting purposes, a day will run midnight to midnight. In
the event of continuous system downtime of 24 hours or more,
the voting period will be adjusted to compensate.

Thanks!
I grow very weary of this process and of the attacks, the bizarre
attempts to circumvent what is going on, and of following the same
discussion in 11 different items.
I am looking forward to this being over with. I expect to then take a
vacation from coop, and possibly even from Grex. No, I won't be mass
deleting responses from all of Grex or anything. There is something
wrong, though, when it requires this much effort, and discussion, and
endurance, to make a simple request. I didn't expect it and wasn't
prepared for it, and I resent it.

re resp:92: I have not been through this type of process before on
Grex. I haven't been through anything here with this level of attacks.
I've been through a similar process, when I was on Arbornet's Board of
Directors, but I was elected to that. I knew what I was getting into.
If you think it should be normal that a Grex member should go through
all of these items, attacks, haranguing, difficulty, etc. as part of
sending a request to the staff, well, I disagree. That's what I did,
and it's been a lot more difficult and distressing than what I had
expected.
jp2: You're not worth responding to any more.
