In reviewing recently reaped nodes, I see a disturbing trend.

I know many of you detest one particular Monk's posts, so badly that you'll downvote them just because it was he who posted them. And at least one of you has already indicated that you'll always vote Reap on anything of his that gets Considered.

I would encourage my fellow Monks to re-read How do I use the power of consideration responsibly?; it is still considered Required Reading in Nodes To Consider. Notably, disagreeing with content or style is not supposed to be a reason to Consider.

The war against one Monk's perceived incompetence seemed childish when it amounted merely to downvotes and snide comments. Now we're moving solidly into cyberbullying and censorship.

I find this terribly inconsistent with the spirit of the Monastery.

Surely we are better than this...
