    3. Thresholds for DAM action
    ----------------------------
    In various recent discussions we have noticed people mention that
    they "cannot say this, or DAM may expel them". This is not backed
    by facts (we've only had to go through with 8 expulsions since
    2006) and it originates from wrong assumptions. DAM action is the
    last step in a long process, with others involved first.

    This is not an accurate representation. There have been cases where
    DAM have threatened to expel (though the expulsion didn't happen, so
    didn't count in the statistics), and there was *no* long process
    with others involved first. In my case, you didn't even tell me
    details about the allegations (just the threat), nor heard my side
    of the story before wielding the big hammer.

    Not interested in relitigating the past. But I cannot let you get
    away with claiming that DAM has always been impartial. Good if this
    has since changed, and you guys have put in place protocols to
    ensure your own accountability.
