There were no rules broken. Fact.
The Bike Racks was used in a way not listed in the Charter as one of its uses.
It was not out of fear that the occurence was not stopped. Fact.
I was told (in the course of one of the thread discussions here) that the thread was not moved because it was thought it would be too inflammatory to do so.
The next step is The Bike Racks and a hearing.
I don't believe I have violated the by-laws. But if you feel I have, it is certainly your right to request a hearing. I wouldn't try to get in the way of due process for the board because I respect it. I think our rules are carefully crafted with an emphasis on fairness and treating everyone equally. So I don't fear them. I know no one can capriciously ban me, for instance. It is a comfort in times like these.
I was objecting to the characterization that the people who used the Bike Racks in a new way that was not listed in the Charter as one of the intended uses were the ones upholding the status quo, where the people who are defending the use of the Bike Racks as described in the Charter and in the way it has always been used, are the ones who are asking for accommodation. That is not true.
