In the past week - tempers have flaired and Brian L. has banned
four county coordinator's from all mailing lists and their State

action. This would include their query auto - boards etc.
Basically they had disagreed with him.
This is a fundamentally inaccurate description of the circumstances.
Folks are welcome to disagree with me, their peers, their SCs, the
Advisory Board, the NC (if we can ever get one who can handle the
abuse ): ), and the Pope.
Sometimes good things even come out of the synthesis of conflicting
viewpoints.
What's not OK is lying about simple facts, and when someone uses
"disagreement" as an excuse for taking pleasure in gratuitously
causing other people pain.
The four folks who were *temporarily* suspended weren't disagreeing
with me -- at the time, most of them were sideways with their State
Coordinator because Susan had publicly caught them in a lie.
Oh well. -B
