Being a mod requires impartiality and the ability to adhere to the own rules within the chatroom. TA has repeatedly shown that he is not impartial and violates said rules, and ergo is not fit to be a moderator of the chatroom. However, because TA has a right to speak, and has contributed to the community, I do not believe he should be banned outright for his actions, but instead should be given a warning.
The Anonymii has had numerous verbal warnings of his actions, and numerous olive branches and mediations have been given out to him. If each of these is considered seperately, TA has more than enough deserved to be stripped of his moderatorship. Most importantly, however, in the sequence of events, TA has caused issues three times, disobeying numerous warnings. Nobody is indispensible. While TA's efforts have been appreciated, his attitude towards others undermines the whole movement, and this is what needs to change. While TA's attitude remains the same, I argue that TA cannot be a Moderator.

Fundamental point of the Occupy movement is to support people in work, people are not disposable burdensome expenses you jettison the minute they become troublesome. If a member has been contributing to the team effort they have earned the right to be part of the team. If there are personal challenges with individuals we as an organisation need to come up with the new thinking on resolutions. In the old way of thinking you get 3 verbal warnings before any action is taken.
