Mr. Hsiung,
I am asking you to reinstate Phillipa immediatly untill the adjudication that you post that you would like to have as to that all can accept. So far, I see no member here that accepts your action that you have taken to ostracize the member, Phillipa. There is also no post that I can find that could tell Phillipa not to use[...more often than not...] and there are many posts in the archives that use that phrase.
I think that while others accept your invitation to discuss this, that Phillpa could be reinstated so as not just to offer her own defense of the action taken, but that I do not see that there is {probable cause} for her to be ostracised for what I see as similar statements that others have written without sanction nor do I see any potential harm to come to the community.
You write in your TOS here that you do what will be good for the community as a whole. Could you post here a post where the phrase in question is used and it was sanctioned? If not,if you are ostracizing Phillipa for the good of the community as a whole, why could it be good for the community as a whole to ostracize Phillipa if there is not any post sanctioning the use of [...more often than not...] and it has been posted many times?
I think that it would be OK to post that from now on the phrase,{more often than not}, will be considered overgenerilizing, which in my thinking is considtant with the doctrine of {fairness} as you write that you try to be in your TOS here.
