No, we have the *power* to banish someone. Please note that I have repeatedly stated that none of the listowners would banish someone without discussing the matter with the entire community first. >The repeated use of the police metaphor indicated to me that they were well >within their rights to immediately kick him off and that he should be >grateful for just getting a warning. The purpose of the police metaphor was to get you people thinking about the difference between a warning and a threat. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have gotten the idea. >I read the drive for a constitution as mainly a drive to get the listowners >to agree to not banishing people on their own. Actually, I launched that idea to get a discussion started in which we would together formulate a set of rules about dealing with misbehaviour, unsubscribing etcetera. There is no need to get the listowners to agree to not banishing people on their own, since that is not the way we (the listowers) work anyway.
