Okay...once more unto the breach...and I'm only a little sorry about keeping this miserable thread alive here...I received a response to my email from FC's chair. Verbatim:
Hi Kile,
Thanks for reaching out. We realize and understand that not all registry lists are created equal, and as such each potential ban is discussed in detail at the board and exec levels to ensure we are as fair as possible. This leadership team is comprised of over 25 individuals who are diverse in race, gender, and sexuality. Each brings their own views and experience to the conversation, and while we do not always agree, we do require a consensus. Also stated in the newly revised code of conduct, individuals are welcome to contact our board of directors to appeal decisions made.
I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.
