User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-45314928-20200610043202/@comment-6032121-20200723212700 Shambala has already spoken to you about the accusations you make against me, so I'll leave that to her and present the facts.

If User:Shambala108 herself, who closed Thread:275277, were to come out and tell us otherwise I would accept that correction, but as things stand, her closing post was against validity of How The Monk Got His Habit, not against coverage — and, despite having reviewed said page as part of the process of drafting her closing post, she did not delete it or mark it for merging upon closing the thread. On the face of it this seems to constitute a de-facto ruling that the story is deemed to be something we cover, just as {{invalid}}.

Since this ruling exists, well, at the risk of displeasing you once again, T:BOUND is in fact a policy that exists. You cannot advocate for us to fundamentally change our coverage of the story again without new evidence, or otherwise without the go-ahead of an administrator. I likewise am not planning to reopen the inclusion debate in favour of my preferred outcome (validity) unless some new quotes from Harness are found about his authorial intent regarding the nature and setting of the story. It is only fair that you hold yourself to the same standard.
