I have heard from the Judicial Committee. See below. Remember that there are eight appeals, [Correction: none of which are appeals of a suspension, because Harlos has not been suspended under Bylaws 6.7], so hypothetical LNC actions on a suspension are not relevant to my appeal.
November 6, 2024

For the Judicial Committee,
Michael Seebeck, Chair pro tem and Secretary
Although, I did mention drums previously, so… gavels suck on drums. 🙂
Drums?
More like a harmonica. 🙂
And I’m only Chair pro tem until the current Chair, Mr. Krawchuk returns from being seasick in the Caribbean in little over a week.
Now I understand why Seebeck chose to play the drums in the orchestra. I am certain he is well qualified, but it takes a lot more than drums to drown out the sound quite similar to chalk on blackboard as the steel hull is being ripped apart by ice, the hissing sound as water rushes in and hits the boilers, and the screams of the passengers as they fall into the freezing cold water.
even the last generation of dinosaurs didn’t know they were extinct.
I know… I mixed in dinosaurs with the Titanic reference.
It is certainly good to see this move along. And it is good to see that it is moving fast. Remember, the Titanic sank very quickly in the end.
