First of all I don’t know the context of this conversation. I know that I
personnally find that the actions of Trust& Safety very valuable and wise. I
totally support and trust their judgement.
I am tired of seing their work criticized, and do not appreciate official

Perhaps, then, rather than telling us what it is that you don't agree with,
you would like to propound your own position, and in your own words. Do

May we not know the real names of the committee members, as opposed to
their pseudonyms? Surely that is necessary, both as a matter of
general principle, and specifically in case it were ever to turn out

Hoi,
You do not get it. For me this is about saying goodbye. Saying goodbye to
someone I/we truly value. Saying goodbye to someone who we owe gratitude.

Gerard, I think your comment is highly inappropriate. I don't generally
like to pile on, but this needs calling out. When discussing these
sensitive topics, the very least we can expect, is a careful approach to

I think it's OK to mourn the loss of someone's future contributions and
participation, without purporting to make a decision on the substance of
any accusations. I read Romaine's e-mail and thought it sad that he felt it
necessary to withdraw. I also am not blindly trusting of T This is the

I do not know Romaine, I do not know Caroline, and I do not know much about
the events that have led up to all of this other than what has been said on
this mailing list. It is easy to take sides in cases like these, based on
who you know best, your past experiences with that person, and a

Well I can confirm what Caroline said.
What more do you want ? To verify all other reports ?
It's sad that things have escalated this far, but may be it's time to
wonder why it escalated like that. There was multiple incidents reported.
Things that should have stayed private were told
I am very sad and depressed with this outcome, especially with someone as
Romaine, which I am quite lucky to know personally.
And it is very true that now one has to have eyes in their back and be
extra careful when going to WMF run events, as the risk of abuse of T is
quite real.

Caroline,
For me this is not your story. Your insistence of making it so has quite
the opposite effect. I have known Romaine, the tireless efforts for us all
he has given us over the years, I grieve for our collective loss. I do not

Hi Romaine
you know that you are always welcome.
And if you have to categorize yourself to be accepted, we should say that
the community is becoming insane.
We accept Romaine because is Romane non because he is man/woman,

Kind regards

This is such a lost. Not only did you waisted an opportunity to learn and
grow from your mistakes the first time, you reiterate here, showing no
willingness to grow and learn.
But why would you take the difficult path, when by just claiming your right

Hi Romaine,
I completely agree with Camelia, and would like to echo the same.
Most of us are weird in some way, so don't feel bad. Even after meeting
hundreds of people from all over the world, I still have a very hard time
socialising "normally". I've been this way pretty much as far as I can
Good luck in your next challenges Kiril, and thank you for all these

One way or another, as nerds, we are all weird. I felt in love with this
movement when I realized that anyone inside would not have felt a stranger.
I live in Rome, where there is the habit of hugging and / or kissing each
other on one cheek and another when we meet. In the Arab world I saw that

You really think that it is ridiculous that encyclopaedias in general and
Wikipedia in particular should be judged, among other criteria, on their
reliability? If so, I disagree.
However, if you really believe that an encyclopadia does not ned to be
