[rpd] Writing tools

[Nonjabulo Sphilile]

Dear Mike,

The “AI DDoS” analogy is the wrong category. Participants are not packets,
and disagreement is not an attack on the process.

The list may regulate actual conduct such as automated flooding,
impersonation, excessive duplication, or deliberate disruption. It should
not infer abuse from writing style or from the use of a drafting tool. A
person who reviews, submits, and stands behind a message remains
responsible for it.

Any guideline must therefore be tool-neutral and based on measurable
behaviour. Otherwise process management becomes a mechanism for filtering
unfamiliar or inconvenient voices while established participants continue
to define what counts as legitimate participation.

Rough consensus is not protected by narrowing the room. It is protected by
identifying distinct issues, answering them on their merits, and refusing
to turn procedural control into institutional mandate.

I oppose any rule that treats AI assistance itself as presumptive
misconduct.

Regards,
Nonjabulo
