I'm not the only one bothered by this, There's at least one councilor (possibly more) contemplating this situation heavily atm, and are having sincere doubts about it. Keep it up and apprentices, members & guests won't be the only ones walking out...
Zenchi,
As a Security Officer, I take these things very seriously, to the point that sometimes I am in the position of questioning the actions of other Councillors and asking them to justify them to me. An unprovoked block of any account is certainly disturbing, but after exhaustive investigation and conversations among Councillors, none of us can find any evidence of Serenity's account being blocked unless she did it herself.
Here's the first "evidence"
of it happening that was posted here, and it is her words. Apparently she reached out to Councillors to solve the issue, and there are posts in this thread by RosalynJ, Br. John, and MAdHatter explaining that they had each looked into it. The next conversation to occur was with MadHatter in which she asked for her name to be changed and her picture removed.
What I find ironic here is that we (Council) constantly face demands for transparency, evidence to support our actions, and proof to back up anything we say, and yet, you do not hold that same standard to yourself or to Serenity who is making this claim. If we cannot provide proof, we are accused of "sweeping things under the rug", but you yourself admit that what we are being accused of here is not provable at this point. Are we to simply take her at her word then?
People have demanded screen shots from me numerous times to support my claims or accusations made by other members. Now I do the same of you. Where is the evidence that Serenity's account was blocked before she asked for it to be done herself? Where are the screen shots? Who is this Councillor (possibly more) "having sincere doubts about it"? Who are these Apprentices, members, and guests walking out because of it, and why aren't they sharing their testimony with us? Make your case and I'll gladly review the evidence. Without it, what would you have me do?
In the interest of justice, I want to see the same standard that is applied to Councillors to also be applied to any other member. Considering that this accusation is being made in public and every Councillor here has now been called onto the carpet to defend ourselves (most of whom are incapable of even doing what we are accused of), I want to see a list of the above provided the same way you demanded a list of accusations against you be provided. It is only fair.
