Messages like "I'm for this" or "I'm against this" seem to be taking
the form of a vote, when it seems to me that what's probably more
appropriate would be an attempt at persuasion.
Thank you. I'm just as uncomfortable with the "let's sign a petition
against the PR action" as I am with the "let's sign a petitition for
it" postings.
I'm not opposed to PR actions in general; in fact, as a WG chair, I've
(successfully) asked my AD to suspend someone's posting privileges.
I've also had occasion to warn people that they face such sanctions,
most recently today. If someone is being disruptive and won't stop,
after repeated warnings, I confess I don't see an alternative.
Note that I am not expressing any opinions for or against any specific
suggestions.
