ADMIN: We Regret to Announce

Fellow Listmembers:

It is with deep regret that the ADMIN team must announce that we have 
banned Cindy from the HPFGU family of lists. This is a rare but 
precedented step, taken when all other alternatives have been 
exhausted and an impasse reached.

We do not take this action lightly, as these forums were founded to 
be open to anyone who loves Harry Potter and this fan community. 
However, the List Admin Team has decided that, in this situation, 
irreconcilable differences exist, in the areas of perception of list 
rules, appropriate use of communication venues, and civility.

This decision is the result of months of attempts to communicate with 
her to reach an understanding. These attempts have failed. We 
reluctantly take this final step, as the best way to handle this 
situation for the overall benefit of the lists.

Please understand--we are more than willing to discuss matters of list
administration with our listmembers who respect the purposes of the 
lists, the list rules, and us as fellow listmembers. We cannot, and 
do not intend, to administrate these groups in a vacuum.

We ask that you please allow us to show our willingness by asking your
questions and engaging with us in constructive discussions through the
owners address and the new forum when it is opened.

We are sorry to take this action. We wanted you to hear about it from 
us first.

--The List Admin Team
