[Vision2020] enough...

[Luke]

Dear Visionaries:
    I heartily concur with Deacon. The way to stop the slander spray is to
act like it is not going on. If we remove a writer from the system this
time, it will be more likely that it will be done again, and perhaps at a
time less appropriate. Considering the massive amount of debating we go
through, it isn't likely that we could all agree on a set standard.
    Sincerely,
Luke Nieuwsma
