Agreed. My concern is that moral aspects have not been conspicuous in this discussion of rules. I agree with you that the moral answer is to allow voting in all cases, but, as Starchild pointed out, from the bottom up that would allow for as much direct representation as possible. Unfortunately, any top-down representation, especially in the coercive sector, instantiates the tyranny of the majority, but short term it beats other historical alternatives and we will have to make the best of it until the voluntary sector wins out. Tyranny of the majority by any other name is still tyranny. The voluntary sector obviates the need for elected representatives and the tyranny of the majority.

My votes were clearly delineated by earlier verbose moral logic argumentation and unambiguously reflected my moral position on the overall issues involved. We have great internal disagreement on moral aspects of this issue for reasons that I have opined on at length. Those disagreements muddied the waters during our deliberations to the detriment of the LNC. Arguing about rules is important but will not resolve the underlying moral law disagreements, particularly as they apply to the future direction of the Libertarian Party as we struggle against the two major parties that have no moral compass other than getting themselves elected to top-down positions of authority over others for obvious unsavory reasons. The good news is that mankind has managed to survive despite massive disruptive statist intrusions. We have always known how to get along with each other without their oppressive statist "help", their wars, and their mismanagement of our economy and society.

Yes, this is a big picture extension of a smaller issue. The LNC just might have a better chance of achieving the goal of freedom by stepping back and taking a big picture von Mises Praxeology view and approach in their deliberations as they deal with both macro and micro Libertarian challenges, including outreach, messaging, suspension, censure and related rules discussions.

Thought?

What do you think is the moral answer to this question?  I incline towards the view that a member accused is a member still, and think the moral answer is to allow voting in all cases.

Regardless, I believe that a deeper moral basis is the right of human beings to freely associate and, in so doing, to choose to adopt rules for decisions to be made in the course of their association.
