Ah, the new term for "my friend is a racist" is "sometimes he has rigid views". Good to know. > If you cannot avoid this kind of disruptive rhetoric we should re-consider > your participation here.

Not just because of me, but because of the structural changes far beyond our abilities. If provoked by you or Gerard, I will always escalate the conflict, as I personally do not give a shit what do racists think of me. One option is not to provoke me, the other options is to "reconsider my participation here". You should try that and, to be honest, I would like you to succeed. That would give me free hands in handling racism issues related to the various Internet institutions and parainstitutions. In relation to that matter, as we don't have a clear procedure for the committee members removal, I would agree two step down in one of the following cases: 1) Like any proposal, if nobody objects for seven days after the proposal (I won't object). That would tell me that I have no obligations towards other LangCom members. 2) WMF Board makes decision, which doesn't need to be formal. Good luck! _______________________________________________ Langcom mailing list Langcom@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/langcom
