Without getting into the discussion of whether an email every 5 days is a
DOS I would certainly like to state for the record that without question the
pettiness has taken far more thought than the productivity, and so if Dean's
posts are a DOS then the posts trying to protect us from them have been an
atom bomb.
That's the reason the process model delegates handling such problems to
specific individuals, rather than having all of us, together, participate in
the review and assessment.
Actually, 3683 specifically requires community discussion of motions to
block someone's posting rights. It is, in so many words, done by a
Last Call.
