[ExI] Exi List Supervision

[Will Steinberg]

John is an adult, he knows how to follow the rules.  Plus he is left-wing
(not an insult, I am too) so he understands governance.  What if he won't
stop?  Well that's what the rules are for as delineated in this post.  I
don't see the point in prophecizing and talking about the past.  The rules
have been established.  What you're saying is literally the point of this
thread.
