[Members] Re: Wrongful XSF MUC Ban

We can discuss the specifc details off-list if you wish

I want to be crystal clear, the only reason this thread exists is because the conduct team violated the CoC by not contacting me and informing me the reason for the ban, if that had been done I could have either accepted the decision or appealed to the board. And I'm still waiting...

If you cannot leave this list for the intended purpose we may need to discuss extending the technical implementation of the ban.
