So you think management didn't really thought to solve the "rules vs community" equation? See, once in a while I fire people [just] to show that rules are indeed rules. (but my business is way different than the Arctic stuff)

I always wonder what is more valuable in those kinds of rules enforcement situation - the respect of the rules or the respect of the atmosphere in the team. And in such a tight team as yours the community value should overweight perhaps, no?

I wrote a long reply to this including a lot of details about the incident, the community, and company policy - but I'm not sure I should post it publicly.

Suffice to say: Yes.

Community vs rules: always hard managerial decision... :(

It is extremely fascinating. Until it's happening to you; then it's just aggravating. :P

Hi,
You have been so quiet this season we were beginning to wonder how you were.
Thanks for putting us onto mananath he has kept us entertained. :)

Assuming that you are not overwintering.. have a safe flight home.

Take care and thanks for all the fish.

It's been a long season and I haven't had the time or energy to do much writing. Thanks for thinking of me, though. Glad you've been enjoying Michael's blog. I've been enjoying it too. It reminds me of how exciting it was to be a fingee when I'm having some of my more exhausted days. :) I'll be out of here in a couple weeks, and I'm verymuch looking forward to it.
