Hello o1bigtenor, What Ted Leslie said is not a proper citation. Saying a bunch of derogatory things about a group of people and then adding 'if true' is not a citation. This does not provide proper context and is a violation of Code of Conduct. This is a mailing list and not a court precedent, there are no freedom of speech implications here. If you want to discuss moderation decision, please email board@gtalug.org You've been put into moderation queue for the talk mailing list. Alex. On 2019-03-13 3:49 p.m., o1bigtenor wrote:

Okay Ted,
This violates several rules of our code of conduct including discrimination based on gender and gender identity and you are banned from this list.
I also removed Gary from the list because of repeatedly ignoring my warnings that the discussion about Boeing outsourcing is over.
Greetings Alex
I think I understand what you are trying to do but what you are actually doing is increasing discrimination not lessening it with this ruling.
An individual's writings were cited and concern was expressed if such would prove true. You responded by classing this quote as discrimination. As I had never heard of the individual cited I had to look him up - - - -it would appear that perhaps your issue should be with the individual cited rather than the citee.
As much as I tend to agree that this thread has gone in directions it perhaps should not have gone the actions to end the thread are, to me at least, far scarier than the thread itself.
Regards
Dee
