| − | ===Banning of Baltija=== | + | |
| − | Baltija has always been a provocative player. That is his right, he like anyone else has freedom of speech. The reasons given for his ejection by Delegate Sovereign Dixie are:
| + | |
| − | #"[P]ersonal attacks, including flaming and racism",
| + | |
| − | #"[G]enerally rude and inappropriate behaviour",
| + | |
| − | #"[T]he impersonation of a Minister of Taijitu",
| + | |
| − | #"[H]is own insinuation of passing along information he obtains about our region to those who would potentially like to see harm come to it"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | These are inadequate reasons.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Personal attacks and being generally rude are subjective judgements about another person's use of their freedom of speech. If the libertarian and democratic trumpetings of the founders of Taijitu are to be taken seriously, then arbitrary bans for using your freedom of speech are something which need to cease. The replacement of Baltija's avatar with the words "Unfortunately, not mature enough to remain here..." are also highly damaging to Taijitu - you apparently must conform to the Founders' arbitrary definition of mature in order to remain a citizen.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The impersonation of a minister was an issue which was easy to rectify, and a dressing down of Baltija was needed. This action was wrong. It was also a joke - found by many (including Taijituan ministers) to be funny. There is no law against it, and the level of damage to Taijitu caused by this was infinitesimal.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The passing of IRC logs and screenshots to the Lexicon are an interesting reason. First of all, there is again no Taijituan law against this. The senate needs to decide at some point if IRC conversations should come under the law, and perhaps vice versa, since there is a rule in IRC about not publishing logs without the permission of all involved.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The screenshots are particularly interesting. It is my suspiscion that the reason this is such an issue is that it is now possible for all Taijituans to see that their Delegate did not give a reason for his banning to Baltija, in breach (according to Pragmia) of the constitution. It appears to me that The Lexicon has neither the ability nor the inclination to "harm" Taijitu, and in any case the information passed on was open source, not privileged, sensitive or legal (court/senate proceedings) in nature.
