it (beyond outlining our levels of escalation when handling these situations).

One thing missing from the ban notification is the length of time? If this is the first offense it should only be two months, right?

And I have to argue against his use of the n-word* as being part of the reason -- he wasn't calling anybody that, he was using the word as an example of a taboo in one culture that is not in others. Using that as part of the reason to ban him helps me understand the sentiment voiced at the sprints of the feeling that the CoC is a weapon waiting to shoot us down.

I fully appreciate the frustration of trying to moderate these lists with our limited tools, but we still need to be careful of the reasons we use for moderation actions.

Does the CoC WG have an email address?  I'm happy to forward my concerns to 
them about their decision.
