[WikiEN-l] Bannie donc partie

Let me clarify something, Anthere is not banned in any way shape or
form, and absolutely no ill will towards her was meant by my blocking
the 'Mediator' account.

I also regret saying that the "Mediator role account" idea is
"stupid".  That was unfair and prejudicial of me.  I should say that I
do highly doubt if there could be a community consensus for such an
idea, and that until there is, that account should be held in reserve
and not used.

You are not banned!  You were not banned!  You have never been
banned.  You have never been even remotely in danger of a ban!

I regret this misunderstanding deeply.  I do not want the 'Mediator'
account to be used until such time as we decide as a matter of policy
to have 'role accounts'.  And I think we are not likely to decide
that, but I do think that if there's support for a discussion of the
concept, we should discuss the concept.  I will try to find the merit
in it.
