Re: [ga] [Admin] Suspension of posting rights for Jeff Williams

["Mark Measday" <markmeasday@hotmail.com>]

Harald,

I haven't read Mr William's original post, so don't know what he said other 
than the below. A couple of procedural points:

(i) It was my understanding that suspension from the list is subsequent to a 
complaint. Then it is up to the list monitor to take action if deemed 
necessary. Did someone complain?
(ii) Slander may or may not be a crimial offence in various different 
jurisdictions. Similarly the mischievious allegation of slander may or may 
not be actionable in the same manner. Is there proof of slander? If not, you 
are playing into the hands of your detractors. List etiquette and law should 
be separate.
(iii) The penalty for misbehaviour on the list was deeemed to be two weeks 
suspension in previous list corespondence. How is eight weeks justified? You 
would seem to be exceeding the brief.
(iv) It would appear that, were Mr Williams to hire a competent advocate, 
you would be putting other list members at considerable risk.
