I agree with the measures taken. Especially when one individual has
repeatedly acted in such a manner. (The particular individual in
question is Jennifer Pioch I believe.)
However, there should be a process by which the individual should be
able to restore his/her membership -- perhaps by signing a reaffirmation
of tolerated behavior on these lists, along with some kind of 3-strikes
rule or somesuch. Just something for the OGB and/or Oracle leadership
(not sure who decides on mailing list and forum rules anymore) to
consider.
Btw, I'm not sure, do we actually have a written policy forbidding
profanity? On the one hand, it seems clear that the message in question
that started this activity was both unduly hostile and unduly vulgar, it
would be good to have a clear rule whether any profanity at all is
forbidden, just for consistency. (I think I've seen other profanity
used in less hostile and vulgar contexts, that didn't trigger such a
response though I've not gone back and checked for specific cases.
While I'm not particularly sensitive, I think having consistent rules
here would be good.)
