[TriLUG] appropriate use of privileged access to TriLUG-owned resources

[Kevin Sonney]

Chris,

As a long time member of the LUG and former SC member yourself, I'm 
sure contacted the SC directly so that they could, perhaps, address this 
issue? If not, I would suggest that you go through that path first 
before airing your grievances publically next time.

However, I do agree that the idea that "I'm the SysAdmin, Deal with it" 
is the wrong attitude for a member-driven group unless there is prior 
justification based on the actions and attitudes of the member in 
question. I'm sure that you've NEVER done anything to justify bot privs 
being revoked on #trilug.
