First, I didn't accuse you of anything. My response to your private email, was a private email back saying "hey, I don't know why you're so angry and name-cally, but go ahead and move forward with your version. I just didn't want it to get left on the floor as someone else's problem". So your claim that, had a response team been in place, you'd have been summarily sanctioned by a cadre of social justice warriors is false from the first word, because no complaint would have been filed.
That's just an example and the way it *could* have evolved. I'm just exploring past cases to detect negative side effects.
Second, you seem very confident that having posted your email publicly, you've been exonerated by the list (as well you should be, because it was a non-issue to begin with). Why are you so convinced that the four out of five people who managed to get a 2/3rd majority vote of confidence to be on this response team would not be as reasonable as the public at large? Nobody is suggesting that they be hand-picked for their shoot first, shoot second, shoot some more, and maybe if anyone is still alive ask a question or two, guilty until proven innocent bias. So that claim is false as well. Third, purely for the sake of argument, let's say I *had* made some formal complaint. That accusation would have been confined to the response team, you, and I. Ask yourself if you prefer a small audience for an easily defensible accusation, or a large one. I would prefer a small audience.
Well, you may be right. I'm not sure about this, especially in the course of a heated debate. It all depends of the people we choose. That's why I think they should have a role of mediators only.
