schestowitz> they may have had valid grounds, under their own CoC as theyOct 09 16:54
schestowitz> normally interpret it, to say he violated it.Oct 09 16:54
schestowitzESR shows me other quotes of his, perhaps acting as a nismdirection.Oct 09 16:54
schestowitz> That is significant because it invalidates the argument that theyOct 09 16:54
schestowitz> banned him for the views he expressed, and mentioned the CoCOct 09 16:54
schestowitz> only as a phony excuse.  They may  indeed have had other motivesOct 09 16:54
schestowitz> but citing the CoC was not, I think, just a disguise.Oct 09 16:54
schestowitzI never said they "banned him for the views he expressed, and mentioned the CoC only as a phony excuse." (Or something to that effect)Oct 09 16:54
schestowitz> They acted wrongly in how they handled it.  They should have told himOct 09 16:54
schestowitz> what exactly they considered a violation, and they should haveOct 09 16:54
schestowitz> discussed it with him before carrying it out.  But that is a differentOct 09 16:54

schestowitzI agree with that statement.Oct 09 16:54

schestowitzJust caught up with email (lots still unread).Oct 09 17:16
schestowitzIf only I knew I'd make different arrangement. We left to the gym shortly after you had phoned.Oct 09 17:16
schestowitzI suggested phoning to quickly negotiate time/place. E-mail is too slow for this and I check it once a day, sometimes less.Oct 09 17:16
