Appeal - to:Re: [ga] [ADMIN] Two Week Suspension of Eric Dierker
Jefsey and all,
Please consider my comments on this issue a direct appeal to
end the "Sentence" I feel to be improperly imposed upon
Eric.
It is unconscionable as Jefsey indicates that the posts referenced as
evidence for Eric's suspension, to be valid under the existing
illegitimate rules as WXW, Kristy and others have already indicated.
I therefore recommend that Eric's suspension be terminated immediately or
as Jefsey suggests:
"that the Chairs should either remove the sentence or share it with Mr.
Dierker.."
I would appreciate the monitors prompt attention to this matter, and
in advance thank them for their cooperation and consideration.
