Yes, OK. I will try and do better and read more carefully. It's difficult to decide what to do when you have a message which is mostly OK. > A large number of these posts are, in my opinion, a direct violation > of the requirement to keep support for exclusionary practices out of > Mozilla spaces as enshrined in the Community Participation Guidelines > [1], Can you walk me through how you reach that conclusion? I think it would be unreasonable, if there were two messages of equal "intensity", one on each side of the issue, to use the CPG as justification to delete one and post the other. Is that what you are asking for? > and I’d hardly call most of them “civil” in the context of the > Forum Etiquette [2]. A lot of people are very angry, and I think that if we thought it was important to listen to the other group of angry people: "We didn’t act like you’d expect Mozilla to act. We didn’t move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We’re sorry. We must do better." https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/03/brendan-eich-steps-down-as-mozilla-ceo/ then it's important to listen to this one too. I think that, in the circumstances, we should cut more slack than usual here. And Mozillians have been engaging with the angry people in the group, and even won some over; please feel free to join in. But I take your point about Mao and Stalin.
