@doppelgreener ok, some facts
1. bullying happened, for an extended period of time, as in years
2. said bullies have never recognized their behavior as such, have never apologized, have never indicated that such behavior was wrong and inappropriate and will not happen in the future
3. the logical conclusion is that said bullying is considered acceptable, and can be expected to happen again in the future
4. for the past several years, I have actively avoided chat and meta so as to avoid the bullying. as you note, yes, things have been quieter as a result. that does not make them better
5. any attempt to add any explanation or warning to the rules-as-written tag necessarily means defining exactly what it is
6. the definition in previous meta discussions is not the one currently being enforced
7. until we determine what the definition is, we cannot put a warning about it
8. determining what the definition is necessarily requires repudiating the actions of those who have taken it upon themselves to enforce a definition not in keeping with either common usage or meta discussion
9. attempting to do that has been a massive and relentless source of stress, lost sleep, and yes, suspension for me
on the subject of suspension, the specific prelude to the suspension was my contention that the removal of the rules-as-written tag was being done in a way that was not in good faith
I don't—cannot—reasonably assume good faith from bullies on the subject of the bullying; that would be absurd
but at the same time, I cannot move forward with any statement that suggests lack of good faith, as that would be against the rules
while it is certainly true that there probably exists enough material to justify the suspension—which I did stipulate to—that does not change the proximate source of the suspension, nor does it change the fact that it was directly related to massively-larger violations of Be Nice that have, to date, gone unrecorded, unpunished, un-apologized-for
so what do you want me to suggest?
