tinfoil

Skier, you are wrong in your statement. The outlet doesn't belong to the people, but that makes TFP what it is does belong to the people. The leadership has created an environment, but it is the people that made it grow to levels not thought of by the management.

Indeed, Halx and the others are well within their rights to do as they see fit, no matter if we as a community agree with it or not. However, unilateral action on behalf of the management tends to breed negativity towards the management so such actions need to be used sparingly. No, I am not criticizing the leadership's jugdement nor am I questioning the people banned. Mistakes were made on both sides.

It's time to learn from these mistakes and carry on. Hopefully with minimum disruption.

Is an explenation necessary? Hardly, though I believe there is still a public explenation coming because surely Hal will grow tired of answering hundreds of private messages.

Is there a solution? No, probably not. Within any community there will be those that agree and those that do not. It is up to the community to work past these differences to grow.


Edit:

Of course, after I read this I see that Halx has indeed responded. yay me.
