Yes, weird and perhaps done on purpose to throw off the thread and launch it into 'under review' land?

I hope the nay-sayers are happy with themselves. Sketchfest especially.
Knowing meh and her track record with closed threads, it will be reopened. The damage is confined to a very short stretch of posts. It will be relatively easy to clean up.

AHAHAHA. I actually had to report him twice. The first time, I asked that no infractions be made and that the mods just delete his post.

Then he kept at it and I had to revoke my graciousness.

It just goes to show that it pays to be dishonest at CF...

The issue has been raised and some vagaries in the proposal have been clarified.

That's enough for me.

I disagree that you can't transfer the philosophy of making a mission successful from a business to a community, organization etc. No matter the organization if the mission isn’t articulated clearly and/or clearly defined with exact steps to execute the mission and readjusted as necessary the mission just becomes something that gets trotted out as a slogan, look we believe X. That is a major part of problem with CF’s mission; it is a single line statement with no direction as to how it will be achieved, or even why it is good.

Yeah. However, I think meh will take care of it. The interesting thing will be if he tries to appeal the warning/infraction that he draws from this. He certainly can't argue that he wasn't warned.

I'm even mocking him with my avatar right now.

Are the conciliators influential?

Probably not influential enough. In this context, numbers count.
