Edict 34

“Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.”

I had genuinely hoped not to have to write one of these edicts during my time as President and had thought I was doing rather well on that front. Apparently that wasn’t to last though.

A week or so ago, I officially relieved Cheryl Butler of her command of the Vanguard and appointed Al Sutherland to replace her.

Prior to that, I had actualy officially relieved her on the 2nd December, which prompted the opening of the position to applicants. During that time, she conducted several extremely inappropriate PM’s with members of the government in IRC and sent out aggressive and offensive emails for which she was warned.

She then made a number of inappropriate and offensive posts aboard the Vanguard, which I hid to prevent them disrupting the ship further than it already had been. I sent another warning to her cautioning that she direct all issues concerning my actions to me directly rather than attempting to involve the Vanguard crew.

On 4th January, Cheryl entered IRC and made a number of inappropriate statements concerning her firing, and flamed a number of members, none of whom had been involved in that decision. She was warned by one of the Operators to calm down and left several minutes later.

She followed this with another post aboard the vanguard which directed insults against the Government, the Vanguard, the Vanguard’s crew and the Vanguard’s new command staff. I have hidden this post also to prevent the same disruption I had feared when hiding the previous notes.

It has become abundantly clear that despite numerous warnings and attempts to discuss the situation rationally, Cheryl is unable to act in an appropriate manner when addressing her concerns.

For conduct unbecoming an STF member, repeatedly harassing members and breaching IRC rules, Cheryl Butler is hereby banned from STF and all related resources, including the #star-fleet IRC channel for a period of 90 days. After this time, she will be permited to return to STF only with the issuance of a public apology in Command for her actions. The Personnel Department is directed to block Cheryl’s account.

I can only hope that a little time away to cool off will allow Cheryl to see how and why her actions are inappropriate.

I cannot and will not tolerate abuse and harrassment of any member by any other member, more particularly when that should have been directed at me and me alone as the President who relieved her of her command. I sincerely hope that this is the only edict of this type that I will have to issue during my term.
