[Foundation-l] Etiquette, Civility

In this situation the user who is deleting other users attempts to  
communicate with them is clearly in the wrong. Two metapolicies are  
being violated, Assume good faith and our consensus decision making  
policy. If they are not willing to negotiate they are apparently  
trying to impose their will in other ways, reverting, etc. What we  
have here is a failure to communicate. It's a shame that that line  
was put into the mouth of a fascist in Cool Hand Luke. Talking things  
over in good faith is one of our basic assumptions.
